Trying To Conceive And Too Much Stress

I am TTC (Trying to conceive/trying to have a baby). I have been trying for 7 months with my husband. I can't get pregnant and I think part of it is because I am always stressed.always. I just can't calm down! I haven't been on any meds because I don't want to get pregnant while on them.

I am prescribed ativan as needed to help relax me. But once again, I don't take meds because they are harmful to fetuses.

Anybody else TTC and struggling? People just say I need to "relax" but I believe its a whole other level when you have PTSD. I'm sure my cortisol levels are just through the roof.

I try to take bubble baths, get massages, get pedicures, exercise.....

What are your other self care tips? Any tips on TTC when we are all just stressed the F out 24/7? LOL
