I've found a trend when speaking to friends who had trouble conceiving and then finally fell pregnant. They were all stressed, usually due to work or family situations, and it wasn't until they de-stressed that they got pregnant. It must be our bodies saying that I'm not going to do something as momentous as pregnancy until I am as relaxed and healthy as possible.

I was very de-stressed when I fell pregnant with my first 2. I'm on my 3rd month of TTC my 3rd baby and can easily say that my stress levels the past 2 months have been through the roof due to over-work and illness.

I've quit work altogether to be a SAHM and apart from a cold am already feeling 100% better within myself, so I'll be interested to see how long it will take now.

Did any of you find that when TTC you only conceived once you de-stressed? Or even more interestingly, did any of you actually conceive when you were over-stressed?

P.S. I also went into labour only when I was healthy and destressed (not any easy thing to do)
