How do you cope?

I just wondered how people who have been trying for a lot longer than me keep going?

The God's honest truth to that question is that sometimes you just *don't* keep going. You stop your world, sit alone, and cry. A lot. Some days are just regular normal days: get up, go to work, come home, spend time with OH, walk the dog, sometimes go out. Other days, things hit me so hard, I don't have a choice: the world has to stop for a while.

Take the time to cry, scream, whatever. Get it out. And *then* keep going. And never let anyone make you feel bad about taking that time.
 
I too could have written this myself your explaining my situation to a tee. I have irregular periods and have no idea when to have intercourse due to lack of knowing when I O. I am not on Clomid, but Metformin and am struggling to maintain a positive attitude about this pregnancy stuff. I have tried to talk with several people, but its hard to expect them to understand when they are not going through the same things. A lot of people suggest to take a break , but I too feel like I need to take advantage of any Oing that might be taking place. Many of my friends are pregnant or have children and the jealousy and stress are overwhelming at times. Then you have the people who ask, "when are you guys going to have kid?" UUUUGGGGGG if it was only that easy. I just want to scream at them, but then they don't know what is going on. There are several people that know the issues with me and understand not to say things like that but it is still frustrating. I have thought about starting a journal where I am able to express myself and not have to worry about others. I am thankful for all the ladies that I have met on here that are having the same issues, it is good to know that you are not alone.

I feel your pain. I so want to smack people who ask when or if we are going to have kids! They make me so angry! They really have no idea. Weve been TTC for 2.5 years and I'm so grateful to now have a place to share my stories and vent. I don't have any friends who have had IUI and that is where we are heading next.*6 more days until I find out the results of my AMH test!!
I'm finding it hard to know who to tell and when.
I mostly excersize to distract me from thinking about it and my 6yr old dog helps keep me busy too. I wouldn't suggest getting a dog unless you really want a DOG though!
Positive thoughts for you all!

I'm only on this train 15 month but I think it helps to stay off the normal TTC forum as they ate sometimes full of symptom spotting & ladies falling pregnant on month 1/2 and it seems to feel lonelier seeing that all the time,
There are some ltttc groups and threads where you can find companionship and laugher to help keep you sane, or company to help you go insane. That's how I cope lol x
