Recently my husband and I embarked on our TTC journey. Before we even began I had a list of things I wanted to do before we started. Most of them I actually followed through with and got done. The one thing I have not done yet is going to the dentist to make sure everything is good (I keep putting it off though because I HATE the dentist).
Since making a decision that we are going to try and have a baby I have been reading countless websites and reading every thing I can on conceiving and pregnancy. I want to make sure and do all that I can to have a nice home for our future child to hang out in for nine months. And I tell you all the information out there can be a bit overwhelming. Do this....don't do this....eat this....don't eat that. If you followed everything you read on the internet you would be living in a bubble. And to me that is not practical.
So I do not know how long it will take or when we will get pregnant, especially since your chances of getting pregnant are about 20%. But that is ok, the journey to get there will be exciting.
Do any of my mom readers have any good advice on TTC and pregnancy?
I'm curently 34 weeks pregnant. After my hubby and I got married in 2011, I was right on the baby making train. I thought it would happen right away but I had been on birth control for so long that I didn't know my cycle and it turned out my cycles were messed (every 2 months). I saw a fertility doctor and was about to start a fertility drug the next cycle so I stopped thinking about it and tracking and BAM.
ReplyDeleteMy advice: Listen to your body and try not to stress :)Try not to get discouraged or try too hard.. and yes, there is such a thing!! haha. I could tell you a lot about this subject! Anyways, enough blabbing.. good luck!! :)
Thanks for the advice Marci. This our first month trying to get pregnant, so I am trying not to put too much pressure on myself. I keep having to remind myself to just relax and have fun.
DeleteGood Luck, what a fun journey you all are on. Babies are so precious, I got three little ones :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie! I am so excited and I can hardly wait till I have one of my own.
