TTC - Numb

Katherine • Lover of God Mommy to 👼🏻 👼🏻 👼🏻🐶🤰🏻 Infertility warrior

Has anyone become emotionally numb when TTC? After 16 months TTC, labs, ultrasound, HSG, sperm check, fertility cleanses, diet/lifestyle changes and everything coming back normal I reached a point of exhaustion and now I’m just numb.

I used to feel sad and angry when people asked me when are you having babies, when my period came, when everyone around me announced a pregnancy and now I feel nothing. Its like yup what else is new.

I don’t want do OPKs, BBT, CM checks and all the work that comes with this anymore. I’ve lost the motivation to start looking for an RE and doing fertility treatments

I don’t want to give up on my biggest dream of having a little one, but I feel so detached now.

Have any of you gotten to the point of numbness? And if so what have you done about this? How did you push through?

I know many will say well if you really wanted it you would fight for it, but it’s not that simple. I want to hear from those who have gotten to a numb stage and how you handled it.

I think now is the point that you should stop trying to do OPK's, cm checks, and checking your temp. take 3 months and do things for. do things for your husband. have sex just to orgasm. rejuvenate yourself. then come back. once you get to the numb feeling, you're mind is no longer in sync with your body you need a break and you need to be in sync.

I agree with the above. Soooo many people have told me they got pregnant when they stopped trying. I've had 2 miscarriages and I can definitely relate to feeling numb. If I'm late or feeling abnormal everyone always says oh maybe you're pregnant! I'm just like whatever, if I am my body will just reject it anyway. It's so hard. I stopped tracking everything except my period just so I can be prepared for AF. It's soooo much less stressful. My husband and I do more things together and have spontaneous sex. We went for a mini vacation and got a cheesey cheap hotel with a jacuzzi. I started taking an arial yoga class, which I highly recommend. Just enjoying life and hoping what's meant to be will happen. Good luck and hugs to you ❤️
