I am quitting temping

I have a very regular cycle and O on pretty much the same day every cycle. I think I became alittle (ok a lot) OCD last month with the temping, and symptoms, and poas, it just got out of hand.

So this month will be different. I will still use my OPK's and I will BD like a bunny and I will not test unless AF is late, I will not obsess over a damm chart or look into every single symptom that may or may not really be there.

Here is to a stress free month

CD5 and waiting

Lots of Luck

You've got to do what works for you.

For me, not temping would've stressed me more. I needed those little clues and information - even it was an answer I didn't like. But if it's making you crazy and affecting your sleep, plenty of women get pg w/o it.

Good luck!

Good Luck!!!

I think we have the same OCD personality, I can't temp bc i will obsess way too too much...And I refuse to POAS before AF is late!! We can support each other

I should have known, I am OCD in every aspect of my life, so why would TTC be any different LOL. I can definetly use all the help I can get so I would love to help support each other. Where are you in your cycle?

The thing I liked about temping though is that you're able to tell whether or not you're pregnant.................I didn't have to pee on a stick until I knew I was sure, and I could tell that by my chart after I ovulated. Something to think about. I know it's frustrating, but it's worth doing. JMO

Re: I am quitting temping

My cycle has always been pretty regular, and between temping, opks, checking CM, etc etc i was making myself crazy. When i wasn't obsessing over TTC in real life, i was combing the internet reading anything i could about TTCing. I wore myself out. The one good thing about seeing a RE is now HE worries about my O:)

I say take a few months off of temping, you can always start again. Good Luck !!!

Re: I am quitting temping

I am in the same boat as you. I just stopped temping this month. I have a VERY regular cycle (has been the same my whole life) and I know exactly when I O. My OB actually told me to stop the temping for a while bc the stress could interfere with the actual baby making. So I am going to give it a little while and let nature take its course and see what happens. I am on CD10 and I honestly feel completely stress free. I am not worrying about waking up at the same time every morning (especially during my week long vacation) or analyzing every little detail in my chart. So I definitely agree with you, for some people I think temping definitely works, but for others...I guess like me and you, maybe we can hold off on it!

GOOD LUCK to a stress free month!!!!

Re: I am quitting temping

i dont temp...I just use OPK and that's it....for me it cuts down on a lot of stress. My doc said the less stress the better you are during this time so this is the best scheme for me .

Re: I am quitting temping

I stopped temping too for that reason, you get a little crazy. I'm back to it now though.
