This is so true! Great blog. After the first two months of disappointment (not long, I know, but I also had to wait nine months for my period to return after stopping depo) I decided to view charting and OPKs as tools and reassurances, not as hard-and-fast rules. I need those extras though! If I were 22 I would “let it happen,” but now I don’t have the luxury of time. I need to obsess a teeny bit.

Ha ha ha! It’s crazy how we all go through the same things! I am only on month 2 of TTC, hopefully not too many conception cycles to go! Tired of being conceiving Connie, want to be pregnant penny!!!

Thanks ladies! Glad to know that I…I mean…Conceiving Connie isn’t alone in her obsessing!

Hello, my name is Conceiving Connie and I’m obsessed with getting pregnant! It’s always good to know that you’re not alone. I know my Mom thinks I’m losing it. It’s been a little more stressful for me since my MC in Nov 2012. I just thought I would’ve been pregnant again by now. But, I know that it will happen when I start obsessing over it. No, to try and stop obsessing

It is really hard to not obsess about trying to get pregnant. Even when you tell yourself that you are not thinking about it, you really are. Subconciously it is there and there is no way to turn it off until you get pregnant.

This sounds far too familiar!
DH and I are having a break over Christmas from all of it so here’s hoping I chill out and don’t return to Obsession for Women in the New Year!

It is crazy how I followed this obsessive routine EXACTLY the first month. I did the cycle charting, then added OPKs, hounded my husband for lovin’ on an almost clockwork schedule…then couldn’t stand the 2ww and started testing early only to waste money because good ol’ AF showed her ugly face. Still TTC, but trying to be a little less obsessive…but only a little.

I can related ALL too much to this article! It made me laugh though, it helps to know that everyone else out there is as crazy as I am! I have a little more obsessing to do though (hopefully not for too much longer).

I absolutely obsessed. I was very thankful for charting as it gave me something more to DO (well, other than my DH, haha!!) And when I knew my ovulation period was over (sometimes 20 days into my cycle) I could stop worrying so much (vs I would have worried the whole cycle). By charting I realized that when I ovulated after 20 days I had less of a chance of retaining the pregnancy (I had 3 m/c’s), so I stopped trying after that time and successfully kept a pregnancy. Knowledge is power IMO!
