When ttc for the first time, it took 3 years! Admittedly there were soooo many cycles when the perfect time was disrupted (house guests, hubby away for work...so frustrating!) . I got tested and was evaluated as 'borderline' ovulating, basically maybe i was, maybe i wasn't. I was given a referal to an fs. the gp said i would probably have to take clomid. In my head i just gave up. I never made the appointment with the FS - next month = pregnant! Mum tells a similar story. She had my brother...and they tried for 6 years. Finally gave up (no physiological reason to not concieve). So she believed one child was all she was meant to have. A month later - I was concieved...along with my sister!

I am TTC no. 3. I believe no.2 happened easily because I didn't expect it to. Now, I am at entering cycle 4 and am already 'giving up'...do you think reverse psycology might work on my ovaries LOL!

I started temping last month on fert friend. It is an interesting exercise, and I don't expect to catch the egg for next couple of months - hubby away on key dates! So reckoning on a 2012 baby now...

So what are other's thoughts and experience with the psycology of TTC naturally? Can thinking about it (ok Obsessing) really make it not happen? And if so, how do you stop thinking about it? (I am asking about cases where there is no physiological reason not to concieve.)
