Question

Are any other ladies getting TTC-related depression? If so, how are you dealing with it?

Answer

Yes! Some days I just need to ugly cry it out, some days I am able to talk about it with my hubby to find some comfort, and other days I just need to keep giving myself pep talks and remind myself that I can't throw myself a pity party because I'm being selfish and not getting what I want. We believe everything happens for a reason and in the right timing, we just need to be patient. Unsuccessful attempts at TTC are not an easy thing to cope with when you get negative test after negative test, but it's important to let yourself feel your way through all the emotions. Some day when we all get our BFP it'll be that much more worth it because we survived the journey and didn't give up. Baby dust to all. 💕

I've been getting really down in recent months so after my last period I've completely changed everything. I'm not logging anything, I'm not doing OPKs, I'm not going to do early tests...I'm just trying to forget about it. All I do is answer other women's questions on here as best I can. Im focusing more on my health too -ensuring I exercise almost every day, eating less carbs (I have PCOS) and eating more goodies. I've found it so much easier already, I'm just forgetting about it, but still happy and satisfied I'm helping other women out with questions and queries...that's good enough for me! Maybe you should have a month forgetting about the worries and enjoying yourself more 😊 xxx

Answer

I completely understand how you feel. This past month has been especially hard as I had an early miscarriage last month ( my 4th in 10 years, one of which was eptopic and I lost an ovarie because of it). Some days I don't want to get out of bed at all, on those days I think of my mother who tried for 8 years before finally adopting me. 2 yrs after she got pregnant with my sister and a yr and a half after that with my brother, once she stopped worrying and trying is when it finally happened for her so that gives me hope. Hubby and I decided to make a game of trying, see how many days we can dtd in a row, up to 237 now, that also makes it more fun and takes away the worry of when we need to or not. Whatever works for you to get you through until that bfp comes do it. Good luck and baby dust to all!!
