staying positive

How do you remain positive without getting your hopes up?? I don't know how to separate the two emotions...is it even possible?
I had my gyn appt tonight and he gave us the go ahead to start trying again. I was so excited and happy and keep thinking if i did get pregnant this month i would be due around me and DH birthdays in November. I got so excited, but at the same time I know there's a chance I wont get pregnant and that is so devastating to me...

Re: staying positive

I will say I do get my hopes up way too high every month, I start thinking about birthdays in that season and everything. Yes it hurts, but it is so hard not to get excited.

Re: staying positive

I'm not really worrying to much about getting pregnant....i am worried about staying pregnant My DH keeps telling me to be positive but i don't want to get my hopes up and lose another one - i feel like if i don't let myself get too attached/excited it won't hurt as bad if something happens again...but if everything is okay i feel like i am going to miss out on the excitement i should be feeling...

I don't know how to feel anymore...

Good luck

Re: staying positive

I felt that way to after I MC'ed with my first. It even took me 3 months before I told my mother about my 2nd pregnancy, that's how unsure I was. Even upto the day the baby was born I didn't think it was real....when I saw DD for the first time I was in shock and

I wish you all the best!

Re: staying positive

i felt that way for months after we mc..i was assuming we would get pg right away..that was in june..

whether you have gone through mc or not been trying for 1 month or 11..all we can do is hope pray and have faith that things will work out

its a risk to be preggo,and i think until u have a loss it can be forgotten..but bottom line is result is so worth it and thats whay we keepp going

dont lose hope...hope u feel better
