How do you (or did you) stay hopeful?

Question

My husband and I have been TTC for  8 months now, and each negative test feels more and more devastating (BFN this morning). I am starting to feel like it is never going to happen for us. My cycles are regular, we BD every day in the fertile window (and have also tried every other). We have healthy diets, are taking vitamins, and so forth. I really don't know what else to do. My husband is going to schedule an appt to get a semen analysis, and I see my Dr. next month. It's just so hard to be hopeful and pick myself up after so many BFNs, especially when so many friends and family members get their BFP right away. 😔 Does anyone have any advice that helped them get a BFN or anything that helps you push through the next month? Each day feels like an eternity of waiting. I feel like I am becoming more discouraged and less optimistic with each passing month. Baby dust to all of you patiently waiting ❤️

Answer

The fact that there are other women who have been ttc longer than me keeps me going. 2 years for me

Answer

I have lost hope...and got it back. My husband and I have been TTC for 4 years. I've always had BFN on every test...never use protection. There really isn't any set thing to make a BFN hurt less, I just think to myself every test I take that says negative means that the positive will be a million times more awesome. I know It's stupid.

Answer

It was 3 years for us after our first son was born (he was a beautifully unplanned surprised blessing). I know 8 months seems like an eternity, wait out the full year, how long have you been on BC? Sometimes it can take a full year to have the BC leave your system. At the end of it all, my partner and I just kept the goal in focus, a sibling for our son and another child for us to love and nurture. Do not give up, this isn't a situation you can give up on. Hold your head up high and keep trying, try different methods, have spontaneous sex. Try not to stress so much over everyone else getting their BFP, they may have had struggles no one else knows of.

Answer

I also need help staying positive. I wish there was something I could say to help, but I'm in too dark of a place right now. I am sending good vibes your way tho, and I pray it happens soon for all of us who want it so badly.
