Becoming obsessed with TTC

anteater · Oct 6th, 2009, 14:31 PM

Well, not so much obsessed as very focussed and stressy when things don't go as I want them to.

I had a mc in August

so I feel desperate to be pregnant again. I feel so empty.

How do you not focus on TTC too much? I do other things but whenever I am at home or walking the dog I am thinking and working out dates etc. all the time. I should be really happy because I'm getting married next week but it all feels so hollow because I was supposed to be 5 months pregnant and I know we have missed the boat this month.

I'm not sure if I should stop looking on here because it does make me focus on it more but at least I don't feel alone with it all.

Hi hun, I dont have any answers. I am completely consumed too! I would like to say keep busy but I would be a dreadful hypocrite!

I guess for me the answer is bfp!

Good luck hun, I hope it happens for you soon. XXX

So sorry for you loss. I know what the obsession feels like. I just stay super busy. As long as I don't have too much free time I don't have to think about it!

Yeah, that´s the best thing to do: keep busy with other things x

Same here, stay busy with other things. I also try to do things that would help with TTC but not actually be involved with TTC. Like quiting smoking, or working out, or focus on drinking more water. Stuff like that. But unfortunately when you get the baby bug you REALLY get it. I blame it on our biology!

You girls are not alone im finding myself increasingly moody and stressed and feel like i want my life to stop until it happens. Its such an uncertain time and you feel like a spare part. I also find myself experiencing feelings of jealousy and anger towards other women's BFP's...this is so wrong! We need to be more positive and believe what everyone tells us 'It will happen when it happens' how tired are we of hearing this? Baby Dust to all of us! xxx

Oh I know what you mean! My thing at the minute is I feel helpless, like there's nothing I can do to make it happen ( i know there's little things, but I mean something with a guarantee)

fingers crossed for you all!
