trying to remain hopeful

We've been TTC for 15 months now. Every month I feel like I get so hopeful and then I'm so let down when we don't get pregnant. This month I just feel so down like it's just never going to happen. I'm trying to be hopeful...but it's hard. I wish I could just not think about it, but I keep thinking oh but maybe this is going to be the month and then I think...but prob not. If it doesn't work this month we are def. going back to RE to see what our options are going forward...maybe I can look forward to that.

Thanks for listening to me vent...

I've been there 2x now. For my first it took exactly 2 years to get PG and now my DS is 3 and we have been trying since shortly after having him.

This time I am taking a more "it is what it is" attitude but it's easier since I already have DS.

For the first I had months when I was fine and ones where I didn't think I could handle anymore. I suggest calling and making an appt with an RE now. Most won't get you on right away and there is a ton of testing that needs to be done so the earlier you get started the better. I kept putting it off thinking I would at some point get PG. I wish I had started the process earlier.

Just wanted to express my sympathy....It is hard too because, at least for me, I feel like it's the only thing I can think about!
The TTC journey is so hard for some of us and so easy for others-- just starts to seem unfair, you know?
I had a miscarriage in December after nearly a year of trying and now am back TTC and it is so hard to remain hopeful.....I'm in the TWW now and while I was feeling hopeful in the beginning now I'm sort of feeling that the likelihood that I'm going to get a BFP is slim as I dont really feel like I have any of the symptoms I had before --- so here I am, at my office, crying with the door closed (even though I'm only 6 dpo) because I'm frustrated and extremely sad.

Try to hang in there....its all we can do, I suppose. :(

Thanks everyone! It just feels like such a roller coaster. I'm in my 2ww period right now and I hate this time I just try not to think about it but I inevitably do think about it. I went ahead and made appt with RE for next month hoping I get pregnant this month and can cancel it haha.

I've been there! It took 2.5 years of on/off (mostly on) TTC to finally conceive my now 12 month old! And now I'm 15w pregnant again (only took one time!). Hang in there.

I feel exactly the same way and I've been trying the same amount of time.

I will say I was seeing a new RE and was just waiting on some test results before we were going to start IVF. Bam I was pregnant that month. It was also the one month I was not even thinking about getting pg. I just figured ok I have to do IVF so why stress this month. Lots of wine and no stress and I now have a wonderful crazy 3 year old.

im glad you said this, because i wanted to mention something like this, but i dont want to come off as insensitive in any way!

for me, luckily i didn't have issues.. but for example, for 2 months i was diligent with checking ovulation, etc and i made myself stressed. the month i decided to just wing it, i got pregnant. unfortunately i miscarried.. but then after the MC i said again, this is out of my hands. i relaxed, i took care of myself and i planned things i would being that i wasnt pregnant..and then 6 weeks after my MC i found out i was pregnant again.

my very good friend had a RE appointment set for Jan 4.. Jan 3 she found out she was pregnant, because she wasnt stressing.

several of my friends have shared stories like this as well.

set and appointment for a few months from now, and in the mean time, dont even think about it! enjoy life, enjoy your hubby, enjoy sex.. you never know!
