To this month is our 7th TTC and I've just about had enough. This month I decided not to keep track of temps, CM or whatever accept just when we BD, just to keep me sane.


I've heard from ladies on here the first time they stop trying is when they get pregnant, which exactly WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??? I'm still trying, I'm just trying not to be crazy and obsessed over it.


So, since I have not been recording, temps, CM etc...I've been covering that up with planning for my future baby. I made a file on my computer and named it "future baby stuff" and started going online and looking up baby carseats, strollers, baby bags, etc, you name it I've looked into it. I've saved into my file all my favorite items, color schemes. I think that was a no, no. I'm beyond depressed even more, just makes me want this even more.


I'm so excited to get pregnant but at the same time depressed it hasn't happend. Am I silly for "online future shopping"?


I just have to say, once we get pregnant, my baby is going to have some really nice things, wow, I want everything I layed my eyes on, so many cute things, ahhhh, TTC sucks!!!

No, you are not silly! I do the same. I go online all the time and look.

Also, I did the same as you ... I stopped temping this month right after O was confirmed. I still wanted to temp/OPK just to know when O was so I'd know exactly when to expect AF, but then I stopped temping in the hope that if it was causing stress/anxiety someone I'll turn up pregnant!

I'm on cycle 11 trying, so we're allowed to be silly! :)

Well I am in the same boat as you with the baby file. I have a few things that my friends have told me would be a must have. I found them online and saved them. I want to make sure that I have the best for the little one when ever I get preggo. I love to check out the diaper bags as they have so many different kinds and styles. I could just go on but, I think it is fine to do this as you want to make sure that the car seat is safe and no recalls on that brand.

I find that it helps pass the time and I am not obsessing over the other stuff.

It's never silly to dream/plan for your baby.

Thanks ladies for responding, I really appreciate it. I thought I was being silly about the whole future baby stuff, glad to know I am not the only one. I stayed up so late last night just looking at different things online, makes me so excited but then once I'm off the computer, reality sets in.


Since I have not been temping or recording, I absolutely have no idea where my body is at. I haven't even paid attention to CM so no clue if I've had it or not. Today is CD 20 and hope that I O'd on CD 14 because that would be my best chance because of the CD times but who knows. And now because I didn't look for CM or even notice it, I wonder if I even had any, ahhh, so frustrating. Still at the same time it feels good not to know because in a way I feel like I have a better chance this Cycle then the others because I have absolutely no idea what to expect, when you record, you know what to expect or at least have a good idea.


I guess I'm still stressed a bit about it, but at least this time I don't wake up all anxious to take my temp, record it, try and figure out what it
