How to take your mind of it

[hol92]

Such a silly question but AF turned up today and I feel like I'm just going to wish the weeks away again until next Month, I am a very busy person so have a lot to keep my mind occupied but it doesn't.. I just want this so bad, is anyone else like this? X
The disappointment just get more every month x

Hi @hol92 - I am exactly the same. Time passes so slowly at the moment, but it is worse in the TWW. Now AF has turned up, you can move on, relax a bit and start DTD again ( this is the easier bit of the month for me). I think when you've decided you are ready to have a baby, you just want one NOW and I certainly didn't expect this emotional rollercoaster. So many people seem to miss out this roller coaster bit and that feels unfair. I am approaching cycle 7 of TTC and it is emotionally draining but apparently at this point completely normal. I am not using OPKs this month just to try and keep it all chill. How many cycles have you been trying? x

Hi @FlyOnTheWall89 :) well this is so strange as I'm also cycle 7 TTC I have also been told it's all okay at this stage and my friends all keep telling me to calm down but I think it's so easy To say that when you are not trying. You are so right I didn't expect this roller coaster at all, then people say if you think about it you will find it harder to fall, but how can you not subconsciously think about it 😂 that's a good idea, maybe that will help take the pressure away a bit :) x

Hi @hol92. Just here to say I'm in the same boat and I feel your pain ☹️. The disappointment is so tough. We have been trying for a year and a half now (not every month unfortunately as DP works away - probably 11 or 12 active cycles). I'm due on in a couple of days and have the telltale cramps starting so I know it's another unsuccessful month ☹️

@hol92
I look back and think school lied to us, tell us you get pregnant with just one time lol. They never told us how hard it will be or about miscarriage or any of that stuff, I know how hard it is every month for the bitch to show up mines is due any day and I can feel it lurking on her broom stick ready to sweep in.
I have been trying for 3 years with 4 miscarriages and 1 cp, best advice I can say is relax I hated hearing that but it's true don't stop life cause it can take a while and that's a while not living your best life. Goodluck it will happen when you least expect it to.

Just dtd when you fancy to cause ttc makes it a chore and it becomes less fun.
I don't tell oh when my fertile period is either cause I don't want him thinking he just being used 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Just try to dtd every 2 days from when your period ends on till like if you ovulate on CD 14 till CD 16 you will be sure to catch that egg at some point. Better having sperm waiting and it can live up to 5 days in you. 💚

Hi @Babyghirl
You are so right there I think they should educate more on that because I definitely grew up thinking that when the time come I would just come of contraception and that's it! All of my friends and family have fell so easily so they don't understand.
Bless you.. I can't even begin to imagine how hard that is..but you are so right in saying you can't stop life for it, I've started to revolve around it but will take a step back ❤️ like you say it makes it a chore and loses all the fun it should be! Hahahahah I'm also aware for the not telling when you are fertile so they don't feel used 😂😂😂😂 I will thank you so much for your advice ❤️

@superj21 ❤️❤️ I always feel a sense of guilt and disappointment when you know it's coming, our time will come ❤️ it's definitely helping talking on here to people who are in the same boat, all of my friends and family fell so quickly and don't understand x
