Advice from my OB/GYN
So I mentioned to my OB/GYN that I have been stressed with this whole TTC business, mostly because I am in my 30's, TTC #2, and in my 3rd cycle. His response was this--
" The worst thing you can do is put your body under stress when you are TTC. Your body goes into a fight or flight response when under stress and cannot tell if you are trying for a baby or being chased by a jaguar. So it will tell itself..maybe it's not the right time for baby.." I was laughing but he was right. Time for a vacation.

omg me too
i know some swear by this but i never got how being relaxed made sperm swim faster
i think u find the same amount of people who temp/opk pressed track cm and get pregnant to the ones who relaxed
and when people say for the first time in 3 months i relaxed and got pregnant whenever u r under the 1 yr rule u r in the average time frame to get pregnant

Advice from my OB/GYN
if you are in your third cycle you should relax.
by your 13th you've earned that stress a bit.
past that point stress is a given and usually overridden by fertility meds and hormone treatments anyway!!
good luck!

Thanks for this! It's a good reminder that I need to stay calm during this process and not let it become all encompassing.
