Do others feel like this and how do you deal?

Sometimes I have no issue being positive and sometimes like today I can't stay positive. I feel very depressed.

I just want to be pregnant and I try to relax and let it happen which is very hard.

I try to think of the ladies who have been trying longer. I have only been trying for 5 months since I started to Ovulate again. But the doctor thinks my hormones just became close to normal.

Just thought I would share cause I feel so depressed

Three years and thousands of dollars and it never seems to get better. I am a little better at taking the disappointment now though - that is the only good thing that has come out of this. :) Don't let it get you down. It will happen - sometimes it just takes a while. Hang in there!! :)

I feel your pain...I have a journal I right in all the time.  I have found that it really helps to get those thoughts and feelings out in some form.  As women, we have to be strong for everyone but others need to realize we need to have support and comfort too.  I finally told my husband I needed him to be there for me in certain ways.  He was so used to me running the world and conquering everything that came in my path but this is something I can't control and that makes me feel worse.  But my husband knows we are in this together and that support is awesome along with my mom's and my sister's...all of my family's support.  Keep praying, keep a journel and keep strong and positve!

Aww, I wish everyone in the forum would just get pregnant. I hate the way it makes us feel. The ups & downs, the BFP's and BFN's. I know it's hard to stay focused on anything else when your main goal all the time is looking for signs when ttc.
How is the weight loss going? Maybe you could take some of your frustration out on exercising. You know, this is the first month I started exercising for my triathlon, maybe it took my mind off ttc. Maybe a little exercise, romantic dinners and a bit of wine to top it off! Focus on you and your dh and BD'ing..
Sending you soo much SSBD**

It's very hard i can say that! I been dealing with TTC a long time me and my dh been together 4 yrs so at least that long!! I used to get more depressed but for some reason i keep thinking staying positive will help more so i am trying more things to show my positive attitude!! I know you are on the weight loss forum with me one the girls made a statement each month thats a BFN think of that as another month to lose a lil more weight and get healthier!! This does help me along too!! GL and have faith as the girls as saying someday we will all get our BFP!! baby dust!!

The hormones do play awful tricks on our bodies, minds and spirits!  I think everyone on here experiences the highs and lows that come with ttc.  The important thing is to allow yourself the 'sadness' for a time, but to not let it consume you.  One tactic that I have heard of, but never tried, is to let yourself have a certain amount of time (either a day or a week) and be as sad as you want, cry as much as you want, be as angry as you want during that set time.  But once the time is over, then no more! :)  Focus on the positive and the other things that you have to be happy about! ;)

Good luck and keep the faith!

Maybe ovulation is getting ready to come early before I leave. :) I just struggle. My breast are huge and my doctor keeps telling me that is a great sign that my esterogen is higher this cycle. Keeps making me think I am pregnant though but the HPT was negative.

That is completely normal.  I've been trying for over 2 years and I still have those days.  I told DH the other day "is it bad that I really think we did it this month"?  I really think we did it every month - but it never works.  Hormones are ******* and cause us to go crazy, IMO.  

Hope your day gets better and hope that ovulations waits until you get back from your weekend trip!
