Chronic pain and TTC

Daphne • First time mommy

How do you guys do it, I stopped my pain meds when we decided to try for a baby, currently on my 3th month TTC and it's getting harder and harder to live with the pain.

I just don't know how much longer I can take this, I don't know if I have the strength to try again after this month with all this pain. And what if it's positive, at least 9 months depending on breast feeding without pain meds.

But if it's positive I have a reason to take the pain, but now while trying to conceive it's different. Lots of pain for no reason if AF arrives.

I go to work and that's all I can manage now, the moment I get home all I can do is lay down and watch tv, walking hurts, sitting hurts, laying down also hurts but less. I can't sleep, I'm exhausted.

My gp prescribed me another painkiller that should be safe the first 2 trimesters, but it makes me so sick, I keep throwing up and it give me one migraine after another even when increasing the dose very slowly. Tylenol doesn't help one bit.
