Becoming obsessed...

Anyone have any tips to stop TTC from taking over your life/ every thought in your head? Currently on 10DPO of Cycle 9 TTC (8 really as we didn't officially try in the first month) and just feel like i get more fanatical each month. When i am thinking logically i know 8- 9 months isn't a long time to be trying and that it can take up to a year etc etc but then once i have ovulated each month i just seem to turn into this crazy person.
So far today not done a scrap of work because i had stomach cramps firs thing this morning and have felt sick all day but realistically it is probably just because my period is due on Friday. How does everyone else distract themselves from thinking constantly what if?

That's exactly the same as how long I've been trying and also due Friday! I've stopped tracking ovulation/OPKS and trying not to go on my app then only doing pregnancy tests if I don't come on cos the past months I have been obsessed but it's so difficult isn't it. But this month has been better cos I haven't been obsessing so much!

I tell myself I will do that every month too @Tbug but haven’t managed a month actually skipping ovulation tests yet! I don’t do pregnancy tests as I did in the beginning f and it is demoralising but I just feel obsessed thinking about it constantly
