Hi there, perhaps have a couple of months without the charting/temp/POAS stuff.
just giving your emotions a break from it all?
I have found that since my OH and I have been trying everything has got very 'serious'. I'm now dreading the wait for AF next week and feel down a lot.
May be a couple of months just enjoying s e x and not thinking of BDing at all? | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I felt the same as you last month. We have been trying a year next cycle.
This month i just stopped temping, opk's the lot and just bd when we felt like it not because we had to you know?
It's done me the world of good as there is so much less pressure there. I still am not focusing on getting my bfp just enjoying my OH and if it happen's, it happen's.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do

| Hi,
I've been crazy about TTC for the first 6 months. Altough I've never done charting, we just tried to have a regular BD before and around ovulation, the rest of time happened as we feel. But I found even this little already put the pressure on me. I think with time you will relax, but it's individual when that happens. Although I've relaxed now it's never completely off my mind. We'll just have to get through...  ) | | | | Status: Offline

I know it's been tough for you. I think taking a step back would be a good idea, at least until  starts coming regularly. It's hard to figure out what's going on when she clearly has a mind of her own right now, dang witch!
Hang in there! |

"Go get totally shitfaced and have crazy drunk sex! That's when you get pregnant!" As you can see my mother is fairly casual in her approach to TTC.  But I will say this, she had no probs getting pg. LOL Point being, maybe sometimes it's good to just let it all hang out. So to speek.
Good luck to you in what ever you decide.
P | I have to agree - we tried for 2 years for our son - and for 2 years i banned alcohol (only aruond ov time girls - i am not a saint!), spicy foods, it was all very controlled and as you can imagine OH was thrilled!!! when we conceived our son we had been out all day drinking, had a curry, had spontaneous Bding on the floor in the hall (TMI i know but it was so the opposite of what everyone had told me to do!) and we did it! i know this whole thing is hard - i know exactly how you feel hun. maybe take a break from all the symptom watching and TRY adn relax a little about the whole thing. I know that is seriously easier said than done (and i should take some of my own advice) but maybe do something new that you can focus on......take up a new sport or something?
good luck on whatever you decide to do. sorry for long post.   |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I've relaxed in some ways this month after I realised was going a bit OTT. So i chose not to take thermometer on hols so haven't temp'd. I used pre-seed but mainly for fun/see what it was like and I only half-heartedly used OPKs.
So time will tell!
Good luck xx  |
