For the abosolute longest time I was obsessed with the idea of getting pregnant. It consumed my life and my thoughts. I would analyze every twinge and feeling. I proded my breasts so often to check for tenderness I would give myself brusies. I am sure many of you are in the same boat. I was young and healthly and could not figure out why I wasn't getting pregnant. After monthly heartbreak again and again I knew that I could not continue on like that. I was losing touch with the world. I decided to stop the craziness. I needed to find myself again and continue on with a normal life. It seemed after time that my mind would think of other things besides babies. I started having interest in other thing. My relationship with my husband was thriving. When I finally felt like myself again and the last thing from my mind was having a baby I found out that I was 3 months pregnant. I know this may not happen to all woman but speaking from personal experience the worst possible thing you can do to yourself is obsess and stress yourself out. I know it's very hard believe me. Our lives become a mission to have a child and nothing else seems to matter. Take it easy for awhile and you may find yourself pleasantly suprised. Good luck to you all.

Thank you for your reminder. I'm in the obsessed stage right now, and it's actually affecting my husband now too. In fact tonight, he apologized for going straight to sleep instead of BD. That was a huge wake up call for me yet I still find myself on this board again, and not sleeping! Thanks for the reminder!

Thank for the insight. I have been trying for only 2 months and I am already obsessed about it. Alot of people say the same thing about not obsessing and not letting it control your life. I guess that is what i will need to do. Live life and not stress, when it will come it will come. Thanks again.
