feel that TTC is emotionally draining?

 

[avistar]

Oh god yes! I was just thinking today about everyone in my life that is preg and I got so depressed and down on myself...thinking that there must be something wrong with me...what have I done wrong? I eat good, have a good job, wonderful DH, home, and now I am just waiting....ttc...its really consumed my every thought...but I try to step back and think logically, just so I don't get too obsessed and crazed. I find myself being extremely sensitive.

 

[justme00]

Yes! Especially when you see everyone else around me is getting pregant.

 

[Mynxie]

it's heartbreaking

 

[FJL]

In a nutshell YES.

 

[Tiffers]

oh yeah! There has to be a way to ttc without all the stress and worry! I know that this just makes it harder for all of us to conceive! We need a good dose of calm ladies

Definately. It is a rollercoaster of emotions:

 

[Wobbles]

I had a bad childhood and I never thought anything more emotional and mentally effecting was possible until the ectopic and we actively started TTC. The emotional rollcoaster was the most draining experience ever ... best part of a year (+) my whole life was tipped upside down with our situation - actually surprised we made it as a couple put it that way.

I hope you girls who have been TTC for some time and have experienced the heartaches of TTC get the new year you all deserve soon x

thanks wobbles i feel like my life has been on hold the past 8 months waiting to become pg. i know that's my own fault for allowing that to happen. i need to move on and do other things and when pg happens it should be a bonus but it's so hard to act that way, when you are ttc it's all you can think about and everything else becomes secondary, so yes, i agree it is very emotionally draining

lots of babydust for all the remaining ttcers and the 2008 ttcers

It is such a material instinct for women and I don't think men understand that sometimes....It is really hard sometimes when you have all this love you want to give and share. I know that if DH and I cannot have our own children, that we would love to adopt....how do you all feel about that??? Is thinking about that a part of the emotional draining part of ttc??

Adoption is definetly an option we're look into as well.

I'd not be able to, cause of my disabilities - I need care myself

 

[cuddlykitties]

It has definitely drained me. I have had so many ups and downs since we started. This month I actually swore I was PG. I am on day 37 of my cycle which is never this long but still no pos HPT. My stomach was upset for a while and had cramps. I have signs that AF is coming but it never happens. I have been treating DH horribly because I feel so depressed. Why does something so joyous have to be so difficult. After 7 months I don't know how much more I can take of this. I really consumes you!!

aawww hunni ((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))) to all tccers

 

[Arcanegirl]

A straight yes!
Honestly i dont know how i manage to cope each month.

I don't think a disability rules out adoption Mynxie! I'm sure of it. Its the family as a whole and the LOVE you can give a child. Will your disability stop you having your own - will your own lack love in your house etc etc .... Can't word this right

 

[NeyNey]

Yes indeed.
Over the past two years and more I go through phases, sometimes I just chart and not think about it too much....(except of course in that TTW)

Other times (like at the moment) it seems to be all I can think about. I get so down and out when AF arrives, and I bring those I love down with me, which makes me feel worse...

But no matter what phase I'm in, I will always have a little (or big) cry when AF arrives...it's just such a disappointment.

exactly, i know exactly what you're saying and agree with you, but the bumf that we read on it, implied that I didn't have a cat in hells chance of adopting while I can't do everything for myself by myself....which is really sad tbh
