How did you chill out and relax..........

about TTC? I've been trying not to stress/think about TTC too much this cycle, but since it's getting closer to OV I'm just thinking about it constantly again . I'm just now thinking that if it doesn't happen again this month it'll be all my fault for thinking about it all the time. I'm wishing the months away all the time. I'm really beginning to get on my nerves LOL.

Did you relax the month you got PG and if so how?

I'm trying to buy a pony for my DD

The stress of finding one, buying it, finding somewhere to keep it etc will keep me busy and hopefully take my mind off TTC.

We tried to make TTC more fun & less of a pressure by getting some sexy underwear and other bits & bobs! It seemed to work & was great fun

it worked

skairdy - read something by a doctor the other day that said relaxing makes no difference at all - its just that when you have been trying long enough to start getting stressed by it and then start saying sod it and relaxing again - statistically you're more likely to get your bfp - for example if you've been trying for 9 months..you're statistically more likely to get a positive that month than month 3 for example ..does that make any sense at all cos I'm brain dead atm

Yeah it makes sense

Thats a bit of a coinsidence that libs beacause I read something on the net last week that said the same thing

Relaxing was what worked for us (and I mean, totally - just ignored thinking about when I might ovulate etc and just did it when I felt like it. This last is backed up by studies - you're just as likely to get pregnant by so-doing than by charting.)

And how did I relax? Well, lots of nice long soaks in the bath with bubble baths which were supposed to help you relax (Radox etc). Playing the piano. Listening to music. Ignoring my colleague at work (who drives me nuts). Getting the flat as tidy as I could so that the state of the place wasn't making me feel stressed. Flat out ignoring the baby programmes on TV and, in fact, ignoring the TV as much as possible. Making sure I was eating properly. Going to bed at a sensible time and ensuring that my fella did too.

A friend also recommended taking Vitamin B6, which I didn't get round to. Apparently it is good for stress and also for fertility.

..stopped looking at my chart and obsessing about every little thing. My OH and I felt too preassured BD'ing around my OV date and he found it hard to do the necessary 'Thing' IYKWIM when we did. I also didn't involve him so much. I still tested with OPK's but have never had a positive anyway, but I didn't let him know that like I used to. That very month we concieved too!
