Trying Again

I am going in tomorrow for a sono and blood and I am supposed have an IUI when I ovulate. I am terrified. I keep telling myself this time will be different but I just can't stop the feelings of panic that come over me out of no where everyday. I can't sleep and my stomach is in knots. I thought I was ready, I don't know if you ever can be. I keep thinking about 2 loses in 5 months....I went through another bunch of testing which showed all is well. I have to accept that there probably never be a reason. I know making myself sick will not help. I guess I am just wondering what you ladies do to keep calm and stay positive. I am trying to do deep breathing and yoga but I'm wondering what else I can do for myself.

honestly, i just think, reallllly think... that when it's all said and done, it's out of my hands. you cant make yourself crazy over something that you have no control over. the best you can do is take care of YOU. mentally and physically. keep yourself occupied with things that make you happy and be around people who make you happy. life will take its course

I keep hearing so much about how STRESS plays a big role in fertility -- it's so hard not to be stressed about the situation (it's sad, unfair, frustrating, terribly upseting, all consuming etc.), but do your best to just relax (easier said than done, and certainly easier to give the advice than actual do it)....Have you thought about meditation or anything? I started accupuncture last week....I'm desperate to try anything to get my cycles on track, increase fertility and DE-STRESS. As Dani pointed out--- much of this is out of our control and stressing about it can only do more harm than good. best of luck!!

Re: Trying Again

Thank you girls. I am going to try to focus and keep my mind on the positive. I had depression and anxiety issues long before all of this and stopped taking all my meds again a little over a week ago so that is not helping either. I would love to try acupuncture! Where do you go? I have tried to do some meditation techniques my therapist has taught me but I have trouble with it. I guess with the whole process being about perfect timing and close monitoring, I find myself obsessing about what will come next, visualizing it, reliving what has been.I know I shouldn't it literally creeps in out of nowhere. I am really going to try to make an effort to live in the now. I appreciate you ladies taking the time to respond. I pray we all get what we want soon
