Tips on destressing whilst TTC?

Question

Hi everyone, we've been trying for number two for over a year now and every month is getting harder. I know the theory, that when you stop trying it'll happen - it worked for number one! But HOW do you stop trying, how do you stop caring or stressing over it? Every month I think I have, then I'm broken again when AF arrives.

I'm in the same boat. This is month 7 for us. This month I stopped using opks, stopped obsessing over drinking my fertility tea, ect. We just have sex when we want to which is more fun for us. It ends up being like every other day, but with ovulation testing it felt so forced. Now I'm 3dpo(or around there. Just basing it off the app. I have no clue when I actually ovulated). I'm trying not to stress, but already feel it's hard to know if this will be the month or not. I just have to work on trying to stay busy to keep my mind off of it! Easier said than done though haha

It was almost impossible for me to stop caring / tracking. I continued to do both, but put an emphasis on adding something to each day / week for myself! Dates with friends, pedicures, movies, exercise, going out to a patio for drinks. By adding something to your routine, you naturally spend just a little less time obsessing. The wait will be worth it - make the wait more bearable!! Once you're pregnant, you'll be happy to did all those things 💙

I am in the same boat. This month will be a year of trying for our 2nd. Its absolutely frustrating. I cant seem to destress either. The closer i get to testing time the more anxious I get.
