How to stop thinking about ttc?

[Justhadenough21]

Just that really!

Been ttc for 16 months now and nothing has happened. It saddens me to think if we don't conceive in the next couple of months, that's another year where we won't have a baby. It is so consuming, it is all I think about. I have no distractions to stop thinking about it. A friend of mine has had 2 babys since we have been ttc, a close family member announced they are going to be trying for another now aswell. We are waiting to here from the fertility clinic but I'm not expecting to here anything soon.
I'm so fucking fed up and worn out, I don't know what to do 😔

@Justhadenough21 you can't! That's the thing even if you think ok let's just stop trying but don't use contraception you will still think about it. I have only just started trying for #2 and I thought ill jisy stop the pill and what happens happens oh hell no it consumes my day. I hate it tbh. I'm sorry to hear your 16 months in how old are you? You should defo be referred for tests and your partner sperm count (depending on your age) hope you get BFP soon xx

Have you tried to listening to fertility podcasts? I know that sounds completely the opposite of not thinking about it, but honestly it's impossible not to. I listened to a podcast called BFN (it's on Spotify/apple/online). It actually helped me feel less alone, and a lot of it was funny too! I tried not thinking about it, I even tried hypnotherapy, but actually I found thinking about it in 'constructive' ways rather than just my own endless thoughts quite helpful
