TTC #1 and lost the plot

Hi all. I have been TTC #1 with DH for 2 months (yes! not that long!) and I feel like I have lost my mind! All I think about is babies and what stage I am at in my cycle. Has this happened to anyone else? We were really excited to start but I did not anticipate it taking over my life so much and we haven't even got pregnant yet.

When people talk about stuff in the future I am thinking, "well, if I get pregnant this month that would mean...etc". I am driving myself mad and trying not to do the same to DH and mostly managing to keep the madness to myself Grin.

So, come and make me feel better. Anyone else going equally mad?

LittleMissPear I swear time is different in the 2ww than normal time! I get so annoyed at myself for planning ahead so much for imaginary dates as I know it will only make it worse if AF arrives. Doesn't stop me though [simle]

Another one to add the the crazy obsessive list. I'm in my 2ww and time had never gone this slowly I swear! I keep looking at calendars and thinking if I'm pregnant this cycle I'll have my scan x date and can start telling people x date. Urrrr I shouldn't do it to myself! Grin

It happens to all of us I think! You start TTC thinking you'll have lots of sex and then it'll happen.... You surprise yourself how disappointed you are when first cycle is BFN.... Then out comes the temping charts, OPKs, dr google, symptom spotting, CM checks....

Thank goodness there are others out there and I'm not completely mad! I did start a conversation with my DH about cervical mucus the other day and quickly realised he just didn't want to know that much detail and was much more interested in just DTD! Who would have thought it?!

I was exactly the same as you, it literally consumed my every thought for 6 months until I got pregnant. My DS is 7mo now Smile I think it is perfectly normal to become obsessed about it, I feel for you though, it's not easy!

Hope you get your BFP soon!

Totally normal! I now know much more about my cervix than I ever thought I'd need!

Yes - welcome to the club! I'm same as you, second cycle (well first proper one really as only started halfway through last one)

Dh already thinks I've lost the plot! I see it as just being excited/prepared though Grin
