My husband and I have been doing the BD for 5 years now with no luck. The past few months though have been especially stressful. I was getting really upset (privately) when friends started announcing their newest additions or pregnancies. I noticed myself symptom spotting and then trying to talk myself out of symptom spotting but still asking what if. I was so stressed about making sure every little thing was by the book, hoping that if we did everything "right", it would finally be our month. I noticed him getting stressed too, not wanting to get intimate, avoiding the subject altogether. So I decided this month, I would take a bit of a chill but that we would still make the efforts. I have been keeping myself busy, not really thinking about it too much. Not reading into every little thing and just trying to relax while still being aware of my body and any changes. I've been doing a lot of meditation and light exercising. And he even took me to an infertility seminar and scheduled us an appointment for September. He said if this month doesn't work out, this is his backup plan and he wants to make sure things are ok on both ends so we know where to go from here. It honestly took me by surprise and put me even more at ease knowing he is already prepared. But he is still keeping positive with me about this month, trying to keep my body relaxed and my mind busy. I'm so proud of him and I have a feeling this TWW is gonna fly by if we can keep this up. Still got my fingers crossed. Just not stressing about it the way I was before. Either way, our time will come. 🤞
