coping with possible infertility?

Question

How do you manage?

We've been trying for a year.
Doctor says she can't find anything wrong, but I've had one miscarriage at 2 months, and 3 chemical pregnancies.

AF is about 4 days away, no BFP in sight, but symptoms since 7dpo. Every day I feel a little more worried it won't happen.

It's just so stressful wondering "what if" each month, and even when I tell myself we should stop trying, or I won't test until late AF, I end up changing my mind.

Answer

I would look into changing your diet. if you have unexplained infertility it might mean that your gut health is off-balance, thus affecting your endocrine system and hormones. I was struggling to get pregnant and removed gluten, diary, caffeine, alcohol and sugar, also went to acupuncture 2x weekly, practiced maya abdominal massage and stopped consuming anything cold or frozen (interrupts the healing process in your body).

after over a year of not concieving I took three months to allow for these lifestyle changes (while avoided trying to conceive) and then got pregnant immediately.

I would suggest working with a naturopathic doctor and traditional chinese medicine doctor for acupuncture.

Answer

It took us two years, and I had one chemical. All of our tests kept coming back normal, which was frustrating. Clomid did nothing but make ovulation painful. All I wanted was an answer, but there wasn't one to be had. However, I got a natural bfp right at the two year mark when I had pretty much given up hope.

I know the journey is painful. And telling you to "relax" and "not stress" over it is nonsense. Anyone who has been on that path hates hearing that crap. My advice is just patience. Honestly, that's all you can do. Keep trying, lean on your SO when times get hard (bc I know they do), and find support groups if that sort of thing might help you. I found infertility to be such a lonely, isolating experience.

Best of luck to you!!! I hope y'all get that surprise bfp soon too!

Answer

Stressing & wondering "what if" is the problem. Ik it's hard but stop stressing over it & take prenatal vitamins months before while TTC
