How do you keep hope?

Question

This is my first post here, but I've been struggling lately and all the posts I read here are so helpful I thought I'd try one of my own. My husband and I have been TTC for about 9 months now with no luck.
​
​How do you keep up hope and stay positive? And how do you stay calm and not stressed? I swear if one more person tells me it'll happen when I'm not thinking about it! lol 
​
​Anyone else dealing with this too? Any and all suggestions appreciated!

Answer

I have found being proactive keeps me calm. We've been ttc 8 months #2, with one mc in btw, and I made an appt with my ob at my 10 month mark to start fertility testing, as we've never had any. That way, we can try a few more months then start figuring out there's a problem. Either way, I know I'm moving closer to my goal so that makes me happy.

Answer

Try taking a cycle and not track anything.. No opks no cm checks... Nothing... I decided my last cycle I wasn't going to track.. Just have fun and see what happens... Bam. Bfp!!! I was trying for 7 months... Hang in there

Answer

We have no choice

​You're not alone here.

Answer

Every month I go through the same emotions, and while I get miserable when the period comes, after day 2 I feel renewed with a sense of hope for the next cycle. I do the same, have a glass of wine and some sweets, and then preen for the next upcoming rounds of BD . I also am constantly reading up on success stories of women in similar situations as me, and that seems to get me through also.
​I still have hope for u :)

Answer

Honestly, the first day of AF I allow myself to feel blah and then I eat some chocolate and pour me a glass of wine. The next day I always go out and buy me some sexy new undies and nighties and gear myself up for next time :) it really helps me. I like to pamper myself during AF week like taking bubble baths and painting my toes, typical girly things :) by the time AF is done I am so ready to get started again. GL! I hope you get your BFP soon!
