I've been on all sorts of boards and forums every month since 2012... I've literally had every early pregnancy symptom both odd and normal. I stressed myself and my partner out for months.
In January 2012 we decided to not try -not prevent. ..(that's what he decided) I heard let's have a baby now! Had a CP November 2013
I tried everything in the book, BBT , soy , vitex , even a few rounds of ovidreal. I became vegan (probably the best part of going TTC crazy for me) , I tried laying upside down with feet up, SMEP , every other day , my partner smokes so I tried to get him to take vitamin c to help the little swimmers out...Remember we(that really means he not me) aren't technically trying. After nearly two years I had to stop.
I realized I was having faith then losing it, putting my little miracle (miracles) on hold every time.
I decided to just have faith no matter what, the past 3 or 4 cycles AF has come ,I sigh and move on to find a tampon. I didn't let it consume me anymore. I still read all the TWW success stories, I still tried to keep an idea of when I may ovulate to at least give it a try. But the major things I did was 1. Enjoyed sex , I mean REALLY let myself enjoy it ...pass out when your finished , go to sleep smiling not worried that only going to get 3 hours of sleep sex ... Good times 2. Eat well , just good healthy nutritional food and water 3. Thanked God for the eggs inside me and the blessing of life He could create inside me.
