The stress of TTC

SO, I have forgotten how I get stressed when we're doing the TTC thing- It was my day off today ad I ended up waking up at 10 minutes to 6 thismorning and I could not get back to sleep! Anyone else have any TTC stories they want to share?

Carrie,
Emotionally I am a wreck! I just am over this up and down stuff! I was trying to be optimistic and boom~
I was so hopeful that I have been ovulating...I scheduled my ultrasound today to see...cysts galore!

When I tried to concieve in the beginning (many years ago)  i was a wreck.  I could sleep but I was grumpy and probably not someone my husband really wanted to sleep with.  (slave driver I was.  LOL).  Then we had Austin.  On this last round,  because I had Austin,  I was much more relaxed.  It was a 'hey if it happens it happens kinda thing'.  Much more fun. 

(now of course I have to decide if I wanna try again or be happy with just the one)

 With my pregnancies with my 2 kids and this current pregnancy, I found the TTC phase to be hellish. I'm just a very type-A, take-control personality, so the fact that I didn't have complete contol over my body drove me nuts. I think I'm just too obsessive to be laid-back about TTC. Wish I could have that laid-back, go with the flow vibe going on, but that's just not me. A lot of women get anxious/ obsessive/ stressed while TTC, I think you'll find you're in good company!  Good luck & baby dust!

We have been TTC for only a couple of months and it has really stressed me out! I thought that this was our month and then BAM AF showed up on Sunday. I actually cried about it. My DH didn't understand why I was upset- then I got even more upset.  DH has 2 sons from his previous marriage, so he said to me in the midst of my crying he says to me "You know it took us 8 months to get pregnant with Jack" well that just the straw that broke the camels back- my response was "You just didn't compare me to your ex-wife?!?!".  I knew he was trying to say that it isn't going to happen overnight, but that was not the time to say that to me- I just cried harder!  Let's just say the he was really sweet the rest of the day....  TTC starts again for us next week!

 to everyone TTC!
