obsessive compulsive TTCers - success stories

[little_fish]

Hi Everybody,

I am in my 5th month, and now enjoying the TWW :eek: Althugh I try and try, I just can't seem to get TTC out of my head (I guess this is how a teenage boy feels about s*x :p ).

My question is for those who have succeeded... Did anyone manage to conceive in a month where they were still thinking a lot about it?

Or did you have to really believe it will never happen to you, or go and get your wisdom teeth pulled out or have a very bad cold or something to distract you before it happened?

For me it was an obsession every month until I got my BFP :p

For me when i was TTC #1 I was completely obsessed until I got my BFP.

We have been TTC #2 and it's been taking twice as long to get a BFP, I guess this time my DH isn't trying so hard, so I have to wait for him, so now I have been charting my temps, doing test, everything I can to know exactly when I'm Ovulating.

I guess TTC is all I think about, I really want my DS to have a brother or sister to play with.

We were ttc almost 2 yrs before falling pg with Tom. The month I concieved him I had a severe cold, I was in the middle of my end of year University exams, and we went to Vic for a weekend (6hr drive one way) for a wedding! (actually worked it out and we concieved him in Victoria :o )

Also found out why... My LP is naturally short, too short to concieve, all the stress lengthened my LP enough for conception to be possible!

We had been TTC for 10 months before I got my BFP. I think for the first 9 months, I obsessed every month, then I think on that 10th month, I was really starting to give up and thought there might be problems with me or something. I did a HPT on dpo10 just as a matter of course (as this is what I did every month). I remember I was doing my makeup at the time, and I just looked down, saw the two lines, and just dismissed it because I really didn't think I was - and kept doing my makeup! Then about 5 minutes later I did another test and that was also positive. So for me, yes, it was a month were I'd stopped obsessing about it.

Thanks aggero and Rachael! It seems like there's still some hope for me yet :D

Love my Tommy bub, that seems like an awful lot of effort to go to to get pg. :p Lets hope I don't need to do a similar thing (seeing as I would have to start studying and find a friend who's prepared to get married 6 hours away and all... ;) ) Although I do have a wedding to go to in singapore later this year... maybe that might work :detective: It's interesting that your LP got longer from the stress. the text books all say that the time before o is the only length you can change by stress. Good thing for you that's not always true!!

I obsessed over my chart and reading webforums for about 8mths....we got an appointment to start seeing a specialist...took 2mths to get the appointment date, went to see him on the Friday to set things in motion...the following wednsday got my BFP so maybe the pressure had been off as we thought we might just resort to other means to get pregnant!!!
