so i am starting to think of what i should be doing to get myself ready for TTC'ing. I am going to the gym, although not as regularly as I would like. I haven't really done much else. I seem to have forgotten everything that i learned while i was obsessing over this aspect of my life. one thing i am really going to try to do is not obsess. i will not think about how much each time costs and i will not think about what sign the baby would be if this time would work. i am going to meditate prior to the insemination, or at least that is my goal (although i have never meditated before, not really my kind of activity but i am willing to try).
does anyone have any tips, what type of food should i be eating. oh wait, i think i bought a fertility food book, but tips from those who have been through it would be wonderful.
when i was not sleeping due to anxiety (over work and TTC'ing and money) by therapist put me on a sleeping pill. i obviously have to get off of that. hopefully working out at night will be my sleeping pill.
one major concern i have is that A is working crazy hours at her new job. I mean crazy. for example, last night she worked all night, didn't come home. this isnt the first time either. what if it doesn't get better and i do get pregnant and then i am alone at home. even though she works way more than i do, i earn more than she does and cutting out my salary would be a major financial blow. i know i can get disability for a while and that my boss will work with me, but the thought of much less money and no gf at home is daunting.
but no stressing.
only enjoyment.
Off topic- anyone watch The Deadliest Catch? WOW, i am watching it on netflix and it is so great!!!!!
random i know
bye bye

Hey Girl! I'm so glad that you are getting back on the TTC train and that you are back to blogging...I've missed you!
My BFP cycle I drank loads of decaf green tea to increase cervical mucous. I also drank raspberry leaf tea (but you have to stop this a few days after ovulation). I ate pineapple like it was going out of style after ovulation. I also ate an egg mcmuffin on 7 dpo which they say helps with implantation (I was desperate, what can I say?). My plan was eat one each day 7-10 dpo but the first one gave me such a bad belly ache it was the only one I ate. I also started acupuncture that cycle and we switched donors that cycle too.
Who knows which, if any, of these things had anything to do with my getting pregnant, but I'm happy to pass on what I did.
Best of luck to you and I hope that you can let some of your anxieties go.
