Do you find TTC harder than WTTC or is it just me?

When we set our TTC date, I had over a year to wait and felt like it would never get here. I spent a ton of time here on JM reading about everything there was to read and feel like I really learned a lot! This site really is great! I used to love reading through the DDCs and seeing what everyone was going through each month of the pregnancy. But now that we're finally TTC, I find it harder to read those threads and just haven't been spending much time over there. I don't know if it's because I once thought or hoped I would have joined a DDC by now and would be going through those things by this point or what. I don't let it get to me and really don't stress over not being pregnant yet, I just seem less interested in reading baby things lately. I know I haven't even been TTC for that long yet, we're just on our 3rd cycle, just wondering if anyone else feels the same way.

So was the WTTC or TTC harder for you?

I am actually right there with you. When I was wttc I felt more obsessive about learning all I needed to know. Granted I am only in my first cycle TTC, but I am just kind of taking it each day at a time. I haven't been lurking nearly as much on other boards either. I think I don't want to build up the possibility of being pregnant to the point where if it doesn't work out my first few cycles that I end up devastated. Because I know that it takes a while to get pg for most couples, I am just taking it easy and doing what I can to make it happen.

I think if I let myself obsess too much then I will be too broken-hearted when AF shows up each month. I also have a new job where I am wayyyy busier than at my last job. It's really time consuming and I have way less time to visit JM like I used to during the day. LOL. I am thinking it is probably a good thing.
