Why is TTC so hard?

Question

So really!! Why is TTC so hard? My husband and I have been trying for 5 months (I know that’s not long compared to some of you warrior women) but I feel like I’m going crazy! I get SO sad when my period comes and I’ve gained like 12 pounds. I guess because I’m young I thought I’d get off bc and then it would just happen! How do you guys stay sane?!

Answer

I just avoid testing until my period is actually a week late. I try to not symptom spot but it's hard not to 😂

Answer

5 months is basically obky 5 chances. So don't start to take it so hard. Diet and lifestyle counts a lot on that too. I would start testing your husband sperm to begin with, if your period is regular I would make sure he is all good before stressing out. Has many guys with low counting sperm! 
After 1 year than is mostly like the good time to look for a specialist. Good luck!

Answer

I don’t know if this will help but each month while TTC when I got my period I would do something I knew I wouldn’t be able to do in pregnancy. Like a really hot bath, a glass of wine and/or some unpasteurized cheese. Obviously those things won’t cure your disappointment, but they did help me try to stay in the moment and remember the silver lining! Good luck for you and sending baby dust!

Answer

Hang in there, it’ll happen. If you can try to treat this journey with as much positivity and relaxation as possible, it will help. Surely you’ve heard it all. If your open to acupuncture, nutritious diet, exercise and sleep well, these things will help too. It can take the average young couple 6-12 months, stay hopeful!
