Can wanting a baby so bad keep you from conceiving?

Question

Looking to see your experiences with wanting a baby so badly if its kept you ladies from it. Once you accept it I hear some women have conceived. Maybe it's too much stress to conceive for us. Just curious...

Answer

Well my husband and I have been trying for a long time now. And every month I have been extremely hard on myself. Every month I pray and get my hopes up and look for signs and then test only to get sad all over again. So in a since yes, I believe my want to have a baby (stress) has been a contribution. I just can't imagine letting go and forgetting about having a baby like so many people say I need to...how can I?

Answer

Yes it can because you are over stressed about EVERYTHING.   Just try to relax and not try so hard.. when I decided I wasn't going to try as hard is when I ended up pregnant.. I also took( still take) tons of baths to help relax me...also I started dtd when my period was lighter and I'm glad I did because I ovulated within that time... good luck and baby dust

Answer

I don’t think wanting a baby can stop you, but I do think STRESSING yourself out about wanting a baby and trying to conceive can play a part. Stress changes your cycle and can throw your body all out of whack. I know, it’s easier said than done, though!
