My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for a couple of months. I was worried as some women can get sometimes as I’m in my mid thirties although my hubby told me not to overthink or worry! Anyhow it was my birthday earlier this month. Leading up to my birthday, my husband asked me what I wanted for my birthday present. I told him a baby. On the day of my birthday, I hit an LH surge! Today was the first day of my missed period and we choose to test. It came back with the digital sign reading, “Pregant!” We are so excited at this news but nervous too of course! Here are some things that helped me through this process so far: The LH sticks to know when we were about to ovulate helped a ton, taking my temperature to make sure ovulation happened was great (everyday for a couple of cycles), tracking on this app and on my calendar was super helpful, taking prenatal vitamins, omega threes, and working out was great. Trying not to think about it too much during the process or freak myself out by the statistics or articles out there was important too. Trying not to get nervous as that can emit bad hormones that prevent pregnancy. I also tried not to listen to friends and coworkers “trying to conceive” stories as that was starting to stress me out! Anway, that’s my small two cents! Never give up and try not to get too worked up. Just do the scientific parts and leave the rest up to fate!
