Don't you hate when you feel down?

Question

I'm starting just to feel just a little bit down in the dumps.. Everyone around me is getting pregnant (I'm happy for them & I wish them a heathy pregnancy-I just wish it was me) I'm beginning to feel discouraged with all of this. What do you guys do when you feel down?

Answer

I feel like this a lot. I have one son, he's 3, from a previous relationship. Now I'm with the guy of my dreams, and I feel like the one thing he wants most in this world is something I'm not going to be able to give him. When I ask for advice,  I'm usually told 1 of 2 things.  "You already have one son, so you know you're not infertile" or "My best friends cousins sisters aunt's next door neighbor said she had the same problem and then she stopped "trying" and worrying and wanting it so bad. and it just happened." Now let me tell you.. infertility after a first child is a very real thing.. and #2 stop trying/wanting/worrying?! Yeah let me just turn off the really awful pit in my stomach caused by worrying that I won't be able to conceive again. Let me stop wanting a precious beautiful little baby with the man I love. Let me just switch off trying to make this man's dreams happen. I'll get right on that.. I need advice too! I need to be encouraged too! I've had women on here be straight up nasty to me saying I shouldn't post my ttc rants when I'm already blessed with one child' and others don't even have that and may find it offensive.. I hurt just like anyone else.. when I pee on a stick and only one line shows up.. it's gut wrenching.  I feel the same way as everyone else.. and I ask for tweeks knowing that there's nothing there.  Don't get discouraged my love.  It'll happen.. I don't know when.. but it will happen for you. ❤

Answer

I feel like that sometimes, but my oldest son will come up and say, its okay mommy, baby will be in there soon. And I've NEVER mentioned TTC to him. Its amazing how they know so much about their mother, like they have a special connection that knows what's going on in their mind. But my husband makes me feel better also. He has glow also, so he knows when I'm feeling down(I log emotional, sad, etc) and he'll bring me roses, plan a romantic night, etc without me knowing. But I also like to read a book or play video games(yeah - I'm a nerd) to put my mind in another world. Find something you love to do or something that will make you forget all the pain and sadness. My heart goes out to you, TTC is freaking hard, painful, and draining. Baby dust to you! 🙏💕👶🍼🌠💫
