Over the Christmas holiday I was fertile, GREAT! We were staying with his parents and grandmother with all 3 bedrooms connected with us right smack int eh middle. Are you kidding me?? The stress level was high, my emotions strong and with a year since my first and last conception I had a lot riding on this month of trying. Needless to say this is not at all sexy or a turn on to anyone, especially my husband. My expectations and hopes were taking over and sabotaged our efforts. The conclusion: STOP! Stop tacking love making sessions, delete my period tracker app, stop thinking about my past pregnancy, stop setting uncontrollable deadlines, stop testing for ovulation, stop thinking!
It is amazing how much lighter you feel when you take some of the balls out of the air. I began to enjoy my time, my husband, his family and appreciate what I already had. Turns out this our sex life improved tremendously! That has been the biggest hurdle, you know the timing is right, but with all the calculating the fun and intimacy have left the building. Taking the pressure off has helped. I am still on prenatal vitamins and chaste-berry, but everything else is stopped, and I feel relieved and a new found hope.
