Trying to conceive with Anxiety Disorder

Hi everyone.

I have always suffered with anxiety issues and was diagnosed a few years ago with generalised anxiety disorder. I got married at the end of November, moved house in December. I came off my contraceptive pill in November and I also started on propranolol 30mg a day to help with the anxiety.

I take all the vitamins needed and have for months, I am currently trying to get a better track of my ovulation and cycle but just wondered if there are other people in the same position as me?

I'm currently a stay at home wife as I left my job before the wedding. I could do with getting a job to have some pocket money so to speak but get very anxious as soon as I start thinking cvs, obviously not good for stress levels when trying to conceive.

I have just taken an ovulation test and it was negative despite a tracker saying I should be ovulating now,

I am currently going through the early stages of having cbt therapy so in the long term I'm hoping things will get better,

I have so much worry and so many questions at the minute and have no idea who to turn to.

Should I look for a job or will it be to much stress?

Should I be tracking ovulation and focusing on getting pregnant or focus on other things?

Should I be focused on yoga and finding an enjoyable hobby rather than a job that may stress me out more,

Should I hold off trying for a baby?

Should I ask about changing the medication I'm on?

Hoping someone has experience with similar things or is going through something similar.

I'm feeling so lost right now

Hiya. Not sure about everything else but I know if you only came off the pill at the end of last year then it can take 6 months up to a year for your ovulation to regulate or happen at all. I know that doesn't help but you may have to be patient and wait until that's sorted itself out. Still try sex though as you never know xxx good luck xxx
