How do you cope with the stress of trying to conceive while dealing with other health issues?

Question

Share your insights and tips for managing the emotional impact of infertility while also dealing with chronic health conditions or other health issues.

Answer

I have multiple chronic illnesses, and they made it really difficult for me to conceive. In 3 1/2 years, I had 7 miscarriages. Both infertility and chronic illnesses negatively affected my mental health (which sucked because I have mental health disorders as well haha). I decided to take a break from TTC in 2022, and I just focused on my physical and mental health. I was able to start a new career that I’m passionate about, I got in the best physical shape of my life, my diet improved, and I became genuinely happy! And then in January 2023, my partner and I discussed TTC again, and I found out I was pregnant at the very beginning of February!!! I’m now 27 weeks along with a healthy baby boy, and I know it wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t taken the time to first improve my health (in all aspects).
