First month TTC - nervous

[mrsmcsheff]

Has anyone else experienced the overwhelming worry it will just never happen? Even with very little evidence to support it?

I do have a long cycle and am over weight. I'm actively losing weight and trying to eat well. I very rarely drink, but I still feel like I'm not doing enough! Am I going crazy?? Or is this normal?

I’m starting this month too after my period comes this weekend! I’m terrified aswell about all those same issues. I am also overweight, and have been struggling to lose it with going in and out of lockdowns. Just try to be as laid back as you can. Easier said than done I know! I’m going to try and keep off the internet and also I’m going to try SO hard not to put any pressure on sex.

Ps - you are defo not going crazy!

Lockdown has been my undoing too! I wasn't in the right BMI before but am now nearly 2 stone heavier!

The keeping off the internet is so hard, I feel like I've read every ttc tips thing ever!

Have you spoken to a GP about starting to try? I don't know if I should speak to mine

This is our first month TTC after an early MC in Jan 😢
I'm 3 DPO so a waiting game now! Never in a million years did I think I'd want to try right now but think some things happen to test us and make us realise what's important ❤️

Sorry to hear about your MC, I hope things work out.

We've only tried once for a month before a few years ago before I started uni as the timing would have worked perfectly for baby to come in the 5 month summer! I can't understand the feeling off a miscarriage but I do remember how gutted I was that that didn't work out and I imagine a miscarriage must be a million times more heartbreaking.

Let us know how you get on and if you've been given any good advice xx

Nope I haven’t because i don’t really know what more else they can tell me. I already know I need to lose weight, and I’ve been taken vitamins for months. I am actually struggling to cut out caffeine though. Have you cut much out? It’s going to be quite a ride but you can do it! Hopefully it’s not as bad as we are making out in our heads. We can do it!!

@nadsca27xx I've cut caffeine to under 300mg a day which is killing me, as I live off pepsi max and coffee!

I have a degree in nutrition but find food for myself really hard to manage so I've joined ww to help me keep motivated and track my food intake but I think the only thing I will cut out is sushi in the 2 ww cause of the food poisonings risk, so not a major change as we only order it every now and then :)

I'm going to try and up my intake of leafy greens as they naturally contain folate and have pretty much no calories.

We can do it! (hopefully!)

Hi ladies 😊 how is everyone getting on? X
