Why do you women let yourselves get SO stressed over TTC?

Question

I'm sure that the reason it takes so long because you are stressing. I did the OPK for 1 month, and decided it was causing me too much grief. I was started to "plan" s*x with my husband, and that causes loss of spontaneity. What fun is that? I think everyone needs to calm down and stop thinking about instant gratification. Your child will be conceived when the time is right.

Answer 1

its easier to say no stress but its hard time,GOD WILL help us

Answer 2

Well that's a nice idea to calm down and just let it happen, but for people who have been trying for months, even years, that is not as easy as it sounds. If we all just waited to see what happened, a lot of people would never get pregnant due to fertility issues and such. I am sure there are plenty of people who are infertile who will tell you that the reason they have not conceived isn't because of stress, it's because of a medical issue. I just think it is a little insensitive to tell people they need to calm down and just wait until "the time is right" and it will happen. For some people, that is not at all comforting. When you are dealing with your life and something you really want, it's hard to not get stressed sometimes when it feels like it will never happen.  

Answer 3

lol ummm okay! for those who REALLY REALLY REALLY want to know WHY they are NOT getting pregnant after NUMEROUS attempts to get pregnant??????????? SHOULD be obsessed they need to pinpoint days of ovulation. I guess the more research you do the better. you don't want to get pregnant and not know for 3 months that your pregnant ???????  and i guess it's also patience. but as far as planning s*x?? you shouldn't plan it for only your fertile times. you should be more cautious around fertile times but have s*x anytime through out the month to make hubby feel nice!

Good luck

BTW the OPK Strips actually work. :D

Answer 4

I'm not really stressed about it but I do understand why some women are.

I only have 3 months to try this fall and if we don't get pregnant we have to wait until next spring. That does make it a little crazy but I know it will happen when it's supposed to.

Answer 5

Well if one month of OPK caused you a lot of grief, try imagining what people TTC for years are going through. It causes stress and grief. No way around it. Everyone tries their best NOT to stress and keep calm, but it is really hard. The least you could do is be a bit more empathetic and understanding.
