As much as I knew I loved that man, it has somehow brought us even closer together. </p> <p>The only times I am not thinking about TTC is CD5-8. </p> <p>Because that is after my period stops, but before I need to start paying attention to signs of ovulation or the TWW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-not-think-of-ttc#post-1364659 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:52:32 +0000 Happygal 1364659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Feb. will be the first non-medicated cycle for us in seven months! I hope that will cut back how much I'm thinking about TTC stuff b/c I need a little breather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-not-think-of-ttc#post-1364657 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:51:17 +0000 owlteach 1364657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: tell me more about these guided meditations. Dh totally doents get why this is so hard for me, but it has shown me how wonderfully kind and giving he is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-not-think-of-ttc#post-1364649 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:49:51 +0000 owlteach 1364649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HolisticMama: ive started getting monthly massages and going out with the girls once a week. DH works nights and I work a lot too, so I used to savor the quiet time at home...but now I tend to wallow, so the going out is good :) ive also made it a point of getting workouts in a 3-4 days a week...nothing crazy just a long walk with the dogs or 45 minutes on the elliptical. Its all helped :) Its still just hard, but you all get that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-not-think-of-ttc#post-1364634 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:44:54 +0000 HolisticMama 1364634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@owlteach: Aww. I'm so sorry to hear this. How long have you been trying? 7 months?<br /> Have you tried to change anything in particular to help you become more positive? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-not-think-of-ttc#post-1364629 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:44:27 +0000 mrs. bird 1364629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, but otherwise i would have spent nearly 3 years in a very dark place. i've certainly gone to that sad, dark place, but i'm so grateful for the journey i've shared with mr. bird during that time &amp; i know that once i meet our birdie baby someday, they will be worth the wait. we also have had a lot of crap happen during our TTC journey that has distracted me. </p> <p>do you use guided meditations at all? they can be so helpful in clearing all the BS clogging up your mind &amp; heart &amp; really refocus you on the present moment </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-not-think-of-ttc#post-1364605 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:38:26 +0000 owlteach 1364605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh..absolutely I feel this way. I didnt use opks this month and it has helped. But, things always come up and remind me. I'm not really happy with the person ive become through all this. I feel like ive always been a really positive person, and that ive just become a whiner that focuses on the negative when I have so many positives to be thankful for :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-not-think-of-ttc#post-1362643 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 19:51:38 +0000 babycanuck 1362643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HolisticMama: No idea, I plan on calling my doctor as soon as he's finished at the lab lol. I just need to keep myself preoccupied. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-not-think-of-ttc#post-1362639 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 19:50:14 +0000 HolisticMama 1362639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I feel like TTC can bring out the best and worst in people. Kind of like any major life event, hm? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-not-think-of-ttc#post-1362636 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 19:49:44 +0000 HolisticMama 1362636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: :(<br /> I'm so sorry to hear that you are struggling. How long will it take to get the SA results?</p> <p>I find myself to be really annoying today. And how do I go about escaping myself? Seems to be rather difficult. ;P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-not-think-of-ttc#post-1362622 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 19:45:29 +0000 babycanuck 1362622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to shut my brain off, especially this week until Thursday when Hubs goes for his SA, then I'll be in a better place. Even if it's not him, it means I can start doing something. Today was brutal at work. I couldn't stop thinking about TTC and I tried to stay off the boards with no luck. Damn you, brain. Damn you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-not-think-of-ttc#post-1362613 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 19:39:16 +0000 HolisticMama 1362613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess being on a TTC board every day doesn't help...But I really really like you ladies. </p> [attach=4604/14/mzq75g.444x366.ILoveThisThread.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-not-think-of-ttc#post-1362602 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 19:33:46 +0000 HolisticMama 1362602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there ever a day that you don't think of trying to conceive? </p> <p>There are some days when I just want a break... </p>
