New Tactic - Jedi Mind Tricks

[MrsRoger]

OK, So I have decided this month, I am going to trick my mind into not being that bothered about falling pregnant.

Gonna be chilled out and relaxed, not even going to map anything out just going to take each day as it comes!! Have a glass of wine at night if I want to, eat what I want when I want it.

Maybe that will work as I got myself very wound up last month and it did nothing for me!!

Stress is definitely not good!!!

Who's with me!! We are in Control.

I've been super distracted by our new kitten this month so I'm hoping that it's been enough of a distraction and something has worked but also trying not to be too hopeful cause I don't want to be disappointed. Ughh its tough!

Sometimes I think that when we try to stop thinking about it we end up thinking about it even more lol.
and stress is the worst!

Hopefully it works for you x

Can't join you due to IVF but I do think it's a great idea! Xx

 

[Mumzilla]

Yeah, that would be good! I definitely need to find some way to chill, and I hate turning down booze 'just in case'. I'm not sure how to distract myself though, easier said than done I think... Any suggestions? xx

 

[kaz1983]

This is what i did both times and as hard as it was to start with it did eventually work xx

This is totally where I'm at. I drove myself nuts with temping, opk etc and hubby even ended up haing to take time off work with stress, not good! I've now packed it all in and we're just waiting to start IVF in 18 months or so, but obviously hoping for a bfp in the meantime! I'm sorry to say it but limiting my time on here has really helped and just concentrating on not allowing myself to think about ttc too much, it doesn't actually take too long to force yourself out of the habit of allowing yourself to be all consumed by it! xx

 

[Branwen]

Seriously made me laugh and want to be able not to think about it at all! thanks

Go on holiday? Really at the moment all I can think about is picking up the car tomorrow, driving to the airport overnight and landing in a differnt counrty, trying new food, partying and well, maybe, very maybe dtd and getting just as lucky as during our last holiday only with a better result, but will use the jedi mind trick trying to not to think about that!

Love this thread - I drove myself nuts last month and that was only cycle 1! If I test Friday at its a bfn I am definitely taking this approach after this cycle is over xx

 

[MrsRoger]

I just figured, whats the point in getting myself so stressed out about it!! It was making me sick....and skint as buying Pregnancy Tests like they were going out of fashion!!

It's meant to be fun right!! So let's have fun. Yes I accept that if it doesn't happen after a couple of months then we will need to look at Plan B, but that doesn't mean it needs to consume our lives.

I want to look back and think, oh my god remember when we were TTC and I got really drunk and that's when we fell pregnant. I don't want to remember sitting in the bathroom crying because AF turned up, that's not what it is about!!

I almost died in December last year and I choose to love TTC and enjoying it, but not let it take over my life.

Fingers Crossed it will work....I also have been limiting myself from being on the forum as i was becoming obsessive which isn't good either.

Happy baby making ladies!! May the Fertility be with you :-D xxxx

 

[ButtercupDaisy]

I'm with you! Its so hard tho! But I am feeling more relaxed, trying to keep myself busy.

 

[russellmuscle]

TTC Jackson I was proper OTT so this time I am suprised at myself.

I still have ages to test.

Yup on the 12th of December last year I went to hospital after a lot of arguing with the pregnancy support dept as they said I didn't need a scan until 12 weeks, with pains on my right side and a positive pregnancy. They did a scan to find out I had a 6 week ovarian ectopic pregnancy that had started to rupture and if I hadn't pushed to come in I would have bled internally which would have killed me.

The baby had a heartbeat which they said was extremely unusual, so was whisked away for emergency surgery where they removed my ovary and my tube.

Life is too precious to not enjoy it!!

So make sure you all have fun!!

[flexilexi394]

Oh wow bless you! Thats really traumatic, well done for getting yourself sorted bloody hell! xxxx

 

[MrsRoger]

So Approx 6dpo and I feel I have been pretty chilled.......albeit grumpy lol, but not stressed.

I have put on a little weight because I have been relaxed about what I am eating and of course for extra warmth now it's winter hehe.

I point blank refuse to test until the 13th and if AF turns up then i will draw a line under this cycle and move onto the next, whilst feasting my face with mince pies and surrounding myself in Christmas.

How is everyone else feeling, let's keep the positive relaxed spirits up and kick mother nature in the butt xxxxx

 

[russellmuscle]

Ive been super chilled all cycle, I got a BFN and not even fussed, actually excited that if AF shows up I can give cycle 2 an actual good attempt instead of being so tired that I only DTD 3 days in the cycle!

Good luck everyone

[PrincessPeanut]

Here Here MrsRoger. I'm behind you and eating mince pies and drinking mulled wine!

I'm not testing now until the 11th and if anything I will deal with it then. My stressing after MC and TTC, and now being back to work this week after 5 weeks off has brought me out in psoriasis out on my neck... This has happened on 3 occasions in my entire life - all stress related. I need to relax.

Pass me that wine glass

PP xXx

 

[russellmuscle]

I have genetic psoriasis, my dad has it moderately and his side all suffer. Me and my wee brothers dont but I break out when Im stressed thankfully mine goes red bloches are not actual sores but I still hate it, cant wear fake tan if I get it. Its only the top of my arms but still, not nice. If your stressed to the point your breaking out you do need to relax.

I used to go to sunbeds for mine if really bad as im fair skinned id go like once a mo th for 6 mins n it was away.
