Lets make this an upbeat thread!

To keep from obsessing over TTC, we play board games, watch TV (Ghost Hunters, WWE and Mythbusters, mostly.), go for long walks and just hang out together. It is only around Clomid popping time and possible O time that I really even think about TTC too much. That keeps me up an going.

We walk the dog every night and make up stories about the neighbours as we walk past. Its very childish but highly amusing.

Well.... mine does not obsess about it all (what the hell is wrong with him-ha!) but I usually just try to watch TV and go thru my cookbooks for recipes.

Cuddling on the couch while watching TV. We have a very comfy 3 seater sofa that reclines.

We can't. More like DH can't. He keeps asking me if I'm O, othervise he won't BD He does, but just hearing about it this way is very upsetting.

Also, one time I said I might be O. He said that I look sexier all of a sudden I already feel defective, half-woman, and he's now telling me that because of my problem, I don't look sexy anymore! He said another time that the reason he's not into BDing as much anymore is because I told him that I was "infertile" and gave him no hope, so he doesn't feel like it

I regret telling him anything at this point. He's just making things worse for me. I'm under extra pressure because of him.

I don't talk about TTC or my difficulties with conceiving at all, he does. I don't know what I can do... I'm so sad about this...

We dont really talk about it with each other. My hubby doesnt want to make it a job that he has to do. So If I know its the right time, I just "Bust a Move" After that, I keep the details to myself

My husband doesn't obsess, simple as lol!

I only have occasional obsessive months, so it's not too bad for me - I find if it's getting too much I stay away from TTC forums for a while and that's the single biggest help.
