I honestly thought i was a pretty relaxed person, what will be will be..blah blah. But i've lost it, noticing every posible early pregnancy sign . Even though i know chances are pretty slim. I can only assume it gets worse??

We're ALL nuts in this section I was DEFINITELY pregnant on my first month ttc, had EVERY symptom possible.....I wasn't though Think hormones due to coming off the pill did it!!!

I completely lost my mind in the first cycle. My hormones drove me mental, I screamed and shouted and cried buckets - and I'm not one to do that...ever. Didn't help that my first cycle was 41 days. Have just come off a 50 day cycle, thankfully I managed to remain in control emotionally this time. Didn't stop my non-ttc friends that know I'm ttc'ing saying things like, 'just relax' and 'don't think about it too much' 'stress can delay your period'. Now THAT drove me nuts.

I think charting my temperature will keep me calmer this cycle. It's something numerical I can monitor, unlike sore boobs which can get worse the moer you prod them!

good luck mummywannabe!

I know what you mean! This is my 5th cycle of TTC and my husband is already stressing out BIG TIME. And in return it is making me stress out.

We already have a 3 year old son....but I gained about 2 stone after having him which I have not lost and am worried that my weight might affect how quickly we conceive.

We are worrying that anything and everything is affecting us not conceiving as quickly as the first time round.

grrrrrrr........

I agree about relaxing. I was soooo stressed out in the first 2 months (was worried about POF too and was having tests) then 3rd month I decided I couldn't take it anymore and just did the business when we wanted, didn't worry about when ovulating etc and bascially stopped actively TTC. That was the month I got my BFP!
