I was wondering.. I am always thinking and saying to myself "Yep, I am pregnant this month".. some people say it avoids you on getting pregnant, but was wondering if anyone was always like "I think I am prego" or "yep, this is the month!" or "Got a feeling this is gone be it!" and actually happened?
Getting over excited doesnt avoid you getting preg right?

I'm not trying to conceive and I conceived my son quite easily, (I was on the pill and he was a very big yet pleasant surprise) so perhaps it isn't even appropriate for me to respond to this kind of question, but
Although I'm a big believer in people being able to do things that they set their mind to, or being able to accomplish things more easily if they have a positive attitude, I feel that generally, that rule doesn't apply as much to things that are more beyond your control, such as conception and the complicated the inner-workings of your body.
There are far too many GOOD couples out there who aren't able to conceive to make me believe that something as simple as "having a good attitude" or "being worthy of being parents" plays such a vital role in the end result.
I don't think a positive attitude really hurts in any situation, as it's often what makes a person get through very difficult things. But I don't think it holds very much to the end result in these types of situations. If it did, then every good natured couple, who deserves to have a child, who have been working very hard to have a child, would easily have one, there would be no such thing as the Trying to Conceive section and couples that are having a hard time wouldn't have to ask "Why not us?" when people (like myself) are able to have a baby so easily.
As I said, I don't think a positive attitude really hurts any situation too much, but it's the attitude of "Think positive and you will have a baby" that leads infertile couples to believing that they for some reason don't deserve a baby or aren't worthy of being parents, or have for some reason been given a stroke a very bad luck when it's really just a matter of "science" and "fertility" Having a positive attitude doesn't really MAKE things happen, it allows you to more easily accept or deal with the bad situations in life when they happen.
I truly wish a section like this didn't have to exist and that everyone who really wants a child and could provide a child with a lot of love and support wouldn't have to be here or find themselves in situations like this. My sincere hopes and best wishes for everyone!

Yeah Ive done that before, thought to myself "Im definitely getting pregnant this month!" Then followed by a barrage of symptoms and worrying and negative tests for 3 months
I had COMPLETELY lost my AF for 3 months because I stressed and wished myself to thinking I was actually pregnant. Once I had taken quite a few tests I told myself I wasn't pregnant and lo' and behold less than a week later my AF came again
So don't get yourself all hyped up thinking THIS IS THE MONTH because you might be sorely disappointed.

Getting excited cannot alter the fact that you have or have not concieved in a particular month. It is natural to want it so much that you convince yourself you are. I was only talking to my friend yesterday about it as we are both trying now. I was upset every month when we were trying for my first daughter when my period came and the month we stopped trying so hard I concieved! I think sometimes relaxing and letting your body do it's natural work can really help.
Good luck. Hope it happens for you soon.

We were TTC for 7 month and one time right after we had sex I thought to myself "Happy Father's Day"
2 weeks later we found out we were pregnant. It was really weird, the thought just popped out of nowhere.

My personal experience says" let things take their natural course"
I know you're excited about it and can't wait for it to happen, but until that comes, you will be doing best if you think about it as little as you can.

Yeah, it's like jinxing yourself. I stopped worrying and stopped calculating my days. if it happens it happens. It's just kinda different for me cuz I don't want a kid right now
