Feel like my life is on hold... just waiting

[Periwinkle]

Does anyone else feel like they're just waiting for their life to restart? I'm looking to the future so much at the moment. I just want to have my baby and get on with our lives, to the point that day to day life at the moment just seems so mundane that I can barely be bothered to make an effort with it.

Absolutely... each month just revolves around where I am in my cycle and when I'll ovulate etc.. I'm sick to the back teeth of poas

I don't feel like I can really relax till I get that x

 

[EllieNation]

Absolutely know how you feel.

I don't want to book a holiday, or make any mid to long term plans, because I just don't know if and when that BFP will find me.

It's like being in limbo

dear ladies,

I feel exactly the same! That my life seem like it's on hold.
I am so ready to be a mother and yet it hasn't happened.

I am trying though to not feel like this..I count my blessings so I could have motivation on everyday life.

to all of you

I can relate completely to that...

Every time a new plan is made for something, like a family get together or something at work I automatically try to figure out how many weeks I'd be at that time if I were pregnant. I'm constantly looking at baby things, even bought some stuff in the new year sales which I'm not happy with myself for

I'm always thinking about what the other little kids in my life (friend's children and young cousins) would think about having another LO to play with... I can't stop.

And when I see that BFN or when AF shows up it feels like it's never going to happen for me

BUT I know it will and I've just got to be patient (which I'm not good at lol!)

Baby dust to everyone xx

I feel exactly the same...
All my friends have had children or are pregnant lately I just feel like my time is never coming It is so frustrating, especially as some people arent even trying or dont really want to be pregnant but are... But our time will come and our babies will be so special to us
when people say 'be patient' or 'dnt think about it and it will happen' they just simply do not understand especially when you are trying to conceive your first baby as we have not yet been blessed,
but good luck to all of you xxx

Totally know how you feel.

I want to change jobs but I feel like I can't just in case I'm pregnant but it could be ages so I should just get on with it.

I'm in my TWW now and all I can think about is if I'm not pregnant when can I try again. How on earth do we just get on with our lives???

I have a great life and a wonderful fiance but I feel like I'm not really making the most of things as TTC is ALWAYS on my mind.

i'm the same too! really want to book a holiday to italy but just can't "just in case" and also can't look to change jobs or anything either because of maternity pay!

And my year is now passing in cycles instead of months!! it's ridiculous! I just feel like as soon as we get our we can start to make plans and sort out the spare room and book a holiday for my second trimester!!

 

[GettingBroody]

Every time a new plan is made for something, like a family get together or something at work I automatically try to figure out how many weeks I'd be at that time if I were pregnant.

This is totally me at the moment!!

 

[Traskey]

Count me in on this one. We have put holidays on hold as we don't know what will be happening with doctors appointments etc. I also want to change my job but don't want to lose out on maternity pay if we do eventually conceive, but all this waiting is driving me nuts! It just feels like so much of my life is on hold

 

[yellowbell]

I had the same dilemma too!
I was already stressed with my job but I was trying to hold on because it has maternity benefits. But up to now I'm still not pregnant and I realized that with the stress I was getting from this job, it might be actually be even contributing to my not conceiving.
So finally, with my husband's support, I decided to quit my job.

same here

It just feels like it will never happen...then I turn on Facebook and feel so much worse as people vowed never to have kids are getting pregnant

I can't even look at FB these days....as much as I am happy for them, I really am I just can't bring myself to not feel jealous or emotional

I don't do dates anymore I do CD1 CD2 or DPO1 DPO2... its not January or February its Cycle #15 or Cycle #16

I no longer drink alcohol but eat honey....what is wrong with me??
