Anyone else stressed out about ttc and thinking of taking a month off?

[MrsMac1397]

Just as the title says, af arrived yesterday and I'm feeling ok about it but a bit scunnered at the moment. I'm just needing a rant to be honest.

We've only been trying for a few months, this is cycle 5 of trying to conceive our first. I know that's a blink of the eye for some but I found last month to be very stressful. I'm worried that the fun element of it is starting to fade and I'm fed up wishing the months away. So I thought a month off would be good then starting 2014 get back to ttc. New attitude and all that. I'm not sure whether I will be able to turn off for a month? As my husband says he doesn't want a baby any less.

Has anyone else done this? Has it helped?

I'm really sorry to hear that about your DMIL. It must be a very difficult time for you all and a lot of pressure. If you need to rant feel free to do so on here.

I find trying something new helps each month, makes me feel like I'm doing something proactive than just waiting the month out. Cycle 2 I started checking my cm, cycle 3 I started using ovulation sticks and cycle 4 I started temping and tried SMEP. Maybe that might make you feel the same?

I know people telling you to relax doesn't help. Could you maybe go for a massage around about the time you are fertile to see if it helps your body to relax?

Hope you get some good news soon
