Intro

*namaste*

I have been lurking for awhile and I wanted to intro so I can jump in. I am beginning to feel more isolated the farther I get into this process and you all seem so supportive. I feel like the infertility process is beginning to run my life. I have become so fixated on the process and the fact that I am still not pregnant. I am also beginning to have a difficult time coping at work as I work with newborns and pregnant women. It looks like some of you have been at this awhile as well. Does anyone have any tips with coping strategies? 

I tried to put my process in my siggy.

I'm so sorry you have to be on this board! It is a great group of ladies though! It has to be hard working with babies and seeing pregnant women all the time.

When I start getting discouraged or sad, I try to physically stay busy. I will volunteer in DS' s preschool class or find things to do that would be difficult with a newborn.

I also drink after DS goes to bed in the evenings so there is that

Welcome and I hope your stay here is short!

Hi and welcome!

Thanks everyone! Yes so far my coping strategies so far have included wine and food. I am now noticing the pounds creeping on. Hoping to find something a little more healthy.

It looks like my attempt to put a siggy in has failed (I can't see it anyway). So here is what we have been through so far:

The only thing I have found is staying busy and that hasn't been working well for me lately. I'm seeing a therapist tomorrow and will let you know if she has any good strategies. Welcome to the board.
