CD1 vent/rant here:

My period is starting and today is my first due date. I’ve had two losses this year. Both times, I got pregnant immediately after we stopped protecting. I had NO idea what I was doing. Now I’m tracking all the things- OPKs, timing sex perfectly, charting, etc. I’m now on cycle four. I know I’m probably being unrealistic, but I’m feeling very discouraged. It’s so much work and mental energy for nothing, especially when getting pregnant doesn’t even mean you’ll actually have a baby.

The only thing that’s changed is my husband has completely stopped working out since my chemical in June. Maybe that’s affecting sperm quality/motility? How do I talk to him about it without him feeling like I’m blaming him?

But most of all, why can’t we just get pregnant and stay pregnant like everyone else around us?
