As a worker in the youth/social work field I see negative effects obsession has in a variety of forms in youth & adults everyday.

After reading numerous posts on this forum and others over some time, I have come to wonder about the negative effects the obession of becoming pregnant really has on us. From month to month I read about women (and I include myself here) convincing themselves of every pregancy symptom available. I have seen so many posts of women trying so hard to convince themselves that that feint line they are sure is there is a BFP only to have af arrive and another month ends with devastation

I wonder about what sort of messages this obession sends through our bodies and maybe in some small way it impacting on our ability to actually fall pregnant. Please don't think I do not understand the pain that goes with not being able to really get that BFP, 5 years for us!! I am just seeing so much pain & anxiety being expereinced by so many women. I just want to say to you all to just give yourselves a break when it all gets a bit much. Don't let your imagination run away with you too much, be kind to yourself. Be relaxed and hopefully that BFP you all want is not too far around the corner.
