I was wondering, how did you prepare yourself mentally for a negative result?

I’m so optimistic, but I’m afraid that I’m too naive; we just started trying and I know that most people don’t actually succeed the first time trying. We’re both around 20 and I know for sure that we hit ovulation - and I know I won't actually know for sure if that egg has successfully matched up with sperm until my period stays out.

I’m praying and hoping for baby dust our way, we really really want this!!

I’m so anxious all the time, like “what if I’m not fertile, what if somethings wrong with his sperm, what if we can’t have babies,” etc., and if I keep looking forward to test day like “yay I’m gonna test positive” (ffs I already ordered a mug to tell my man when I hopefully test positive) I will be broken, because I will think something is wrong with me - and I know we just have to keep trying, I mean, we just got rid of the condoms after my last period, and maybe we will be successful in the first try, nobody knows. I just know I need a way to keep my hopes down, so I won’t break lol. There’s like two weeks till test-day - if I’m pregnant, I’m only 2+6 or so, so the baby isn’t actually a baby yet)

I hope there’s help out there - how do I keep my hopes down? I wanna look forward to it and be excited, but I’m afraid I’m a little too excited.. ❤️
