It's all I think about!!! Am I going to get my period? Should I test now? Should we BD now? Am I ovulating? Am I really nauseous or is it psychological? AM I PREGNANT?????
Ok, vent over... thanks for listening but does anyone else feel like this has totally consumed their life? If so, how do you NOT think about it all the time?

OMG, you sound just like me. I thought I was the only one.
I swear my whole life revolves around, "Am I pregnant, if I am is this good for me? Am I going to get my period? Should I test now? Should we BD now? Did I ovulate? Am I pregnant or just going crazy?"
Yes it has totally consumed my life. I do not know how I am dealing with it because I am just taking it one minute at a time. But I must say, relax and have faith that your day will come.

It does and that's where people start to get really frustrated and depressed... month after month is another bitter disappointment.
I was so obsessed I thought of nothing else. I hated every woman who had a baby, I hated myself for not having a baby, I lived for ovulation predictors and pregnancy tests. And around the 5th of every month I took a test... and it was always negative. Sex was a schedule and no longer any fun, my hubby was ready to crack.
So here's what we did. I decided to enroll in culinary arts school. I've been cooking all my life, even ran my own little catering business for family and friends so I finally decided to go for the career change and do it officially. Right away, I got so involved in my schoolwork, so into the cooking, the learning, the atmosphere of doing something I enjoyed so much that next thing I knew, before I even graduated, I was pregnant. Whoa! So then I was like, well... but... I'm just starting out in my new career. Suddenly, having a baby was still important but it was the only thing in my life.
My TTC buddy had it happen the same way. She started playing guitar. It doesn't sound like a lot but it gave her something to look forward to, she enjoyed learning and was picking it up really quickly. Just that little distraction seemed to be enough for her body to calm down and relax... and allow her to get pregnant.
So now we both have amazing 15 month old boys. She is TTC #2 by taking piano lessons... wow, if she wants a lot of kids she's going to be quite the musician! #2 was easier for me... I was distracted enough by having a baby in the house that when he was 8 months old, I got pregnant again. I'm now 28 weeks.
So the moral of my story is to try and have a life other than TTC. Get interested in something else, volunteer at the community center, take some lesosns, open your own business... and let your body do what it does naturally without always having your mind in the way.
Good Luck! Baby Dust!

lol
Ttc has taken over my every thought pattern. I cannot believe how totally consumed I am on whether I conceived this cycle or not every month for the last 8 months. With the first four (I lost two) pregnancy's we just had sex. I didn't know about charting, opk's, luteal phases. I seriously thought #3 would be that easy. After trying for #3 for two months and not conceiving I got TCOYF and my days now revolve around what cd I am on or how many dpo I am, analyzing cm and wondering whether that twitch in my lower abdomen was implantation or af coming. My saving grace is my family. They keep me pretty busy so I have less time to commit my thoughts to ttc. Good luck and baby dust to you!

I go through the same things... I tell myself every cycle that I couldn't possibly be pregnant. I make stupid reasons why it's not going to be my month, but I still find myself analyzing every single everything. It's driving me crazy!
