Obsessing?

Question

My husband thinks I'm obsessing over ttc. I have pcos, he has low count and motility. I've been researching trying vitamins, bbt tracking, and herbal remedies all with 0 results in the lastt year. He told me to just stop, I did for a bit but am feeling anxious about it again, like I'm running out of time.

Does anyone else feel this way? What's the line between proactive and obsessive?

Answer

It is so difficult to relax...and in many ways it is unnatural to expect us to. We are taught to be proactive when we want anything else, yet with pregnancy, the advice is always to sit back and let it happen. Why? When I wanted good grades in school everyone told me to work harder, study harder. When I wanted a healthier body, everyone said come up with a plan, go to the gym, get off your butt and exercise. When I wanted to nail that job interviews, everyone told me to do my research, prepare and practice. How in the world are we meant to relax when we are trying to get pregnant? I understand how you feel. My husband tells me to relax all the time, but I cannot. I feel like TTC biggest test ever, and I'm failing it all the time. Worse of all, I don't even know how to study for this test. The only thing that make me finally relax is to take a break from it all. I haven't done any ovulation tests this month, haven't even tried to have sex, took a break from the vitamins and herbal concoctions. You know what? It's the first time in a long time that I have felt like myself.

Maybe just take a break for a little while, it might refresh you and put things into perspective.

Every single day of my life for the past 18 months ☹️

Answer

I've never stopped thinking for the past 3 years. I have given up a few months but its always in the back of the mind.

Answer

It's funny, I told myself when we decided to start trying that I wasn't going to be one of those women. The ones that did charts, knew what days were best, what vitamins to take or buy things before the baby was there... fast forward a year and yeah totally that person! Idk I feel better having information and tracking. Like I am doing something!!!
