A little advice? We are starting TTC from tomorrow and as a ridiculously organised person I've spent weeks researching cycles, ovulation, ways to be healthier and ensure body is prepared. This is the way I deal with stuff, so that I feel prepared and able to cope - especially with something so huge and basically uncontrollable.
My husband and my family are all telling me to chill out. That I'm doing too much and shouldn't be thinking about this stuff yet. That i should just see what happens and have fun.
I understand stress and worry will only make it more difficult. But going into something, anything blind really stresses me out. For example when we go on holiday I plan it down to having a list of possible restaurants and snack places appropriate to the activities each day. I suppose you could call me a control freak lol but I just feel better, more relaxed when I have a plan or at least understand what I'm doing.
I don't necessarily mean I'm going to insist on doing OPK and HPK from tomorrow and only DTD on ovulation days etc etc but I feel better now that I understand how the basics work. Also all the women in my family get pregnant just by looking at a man and I'm worried that if I don't get pregnant quick I'll freak out. This way at least I can work through it logically and hopefully help me cope.
Is anyone else in the same boat? Am I being ridiculous?
