You know I was really paranoid about TTC (so many reasons why we might not be able to - I just had NO idea) and I told hubby right away that we were going to try to make it FUN and let fate and God decide when the time was right for us, or even IF the time would be right. Since it was the unknown, we tried to approach it that way. I'll admit, that was really difficult as I can't tell you how long I've wanted this. I remember in February wondering if I were and realizing I wasn't and being so crestfallen. Then and there I knew I was committed to the process, but also knew I'd just drive us both crazy if I didn't stay calm and prepared.
I felt it so important not to let stress run the show, because when it does it sets you up for disappointment. It's proven that anxiety can cause problems in conception, so I made a vow that we would create a stress-free zone for ourselves. I even made a point of saying that a LOT to my hubby, so he wouldn't feel performance anxiety about it. (Making a baby can be so much pressure - for both of you!)
As far as disappointment, I reasoned with myself that if our time together was spicy and fun, that at least we'd have that memory if nothing else came of it. It may be a silly way to look at it, but I really think it helped (me especially, not sure DH was quite as invested in the efforts, but enjoyed his part, haha).
Enjoy yourself and I'll be crossing my fingers (and saying a prayer) for you.
