Learned to try not to obsess

Just wanted to share my TTC journey and maybe give some hope. My husband and I started trying for baby #1 this year. I’m a type A person who likes everything to be organized and happen when I want. Relaxing isn’t necessarily my forte. In the first three months of TTC I was so worried and constantly thinking about TTC. It definitely consumed my whole world. Each month was so tough finding out we weren’t pregnant. I know some people try for many years with no success. I am in no way comparing that to this. Even after trying a short time it was defeating to have AF show up and hard to deal with emotionally. Four our fourth month TTC I decided I was going to do my best to stay busy and not think about TTC all the time. Thanks to work and life that was actually very possible. I didn’t obsess over everything related to TTC this cycle. I am happy to say we just got our first BFP the other day. I know I looked for these stories when I was TTC so I wanted to share.

I know just relaxing doesn’t mean you will get pregnant but I do think we add so much extra stress to our bodies that we don’t even realize when we obsess over something so much. For all you out there still waiting for your BFP I am praying for you. I truly hope everyone who wants one gets one! And for everyone who has gotten one I am praying for a sticky baby for you and me 🤍
