Welcome to day#2 of our Mini-Series on the impact of stress on fertility.

I know when I was on the fertility journey I wouldn\\u2019t have said I was stressed.

I now know that I experienced chronic stress for years.

I always felt tense and anxious (I had TMJ and at one point couldn\\u2019t even open my mouth to eat).

I was very controlling and felt the need to plan everything.

I was super impatient and put a lot of pressure on myself to keep going (I didn\\u2019t even take time to grieve when I received my POF diagnosis) I kept focused on my plan to get pregnant.

I didn\\u2019t tune into what my body was desperately trying to tell me.

I felt stuck in my job because what I really wanted was to get pregnant and stay home with my baby\\u2026and nothing seemed to be working. I felt frustrated and powerless.

I was so guarded. Because I felt if I was vulnerable I wouldn\\u2019t be able to cope with the anger and sadness.

This is all hindsight of course. It is hard to see your own issues when you are stuck in the middle of a struggle. It\\u2019s taken years of work and self-discovery to ultimately be less hard on myself and give myself some grace.
