Is hope a bad thing?

krissybegs

Our chances of conceiving a baby naturally are very low due to severe MIF, but I have not been feeling myself the last few days and keep thinking "could I be pregnant?"  My period is not due for a few more days and while I am sure that it will show up in all its glory, I can't help but feel a little hopeful that this is our month.

I am not really expecting a response from anyone, but just wanted to get my feelings out there.  Thanks for reading.

I have PCOS, and long ago I decided then when TTC with an obsticle, hope is really the only thing you have.  For the rest of the month I wasn't pregnant but for those 2 weeks, I always had a chance, no matter how small it was. 

I think hope is a great thing, and I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

I've been pregnant 12 times. And get excited EACH and every time I think it could be "it."  And FWIW, quite a few of those times have been with "1% morph" (with my own issues causing the c/p's).  All it takes is one!!!!

For me, I'd rather go thru this hell-journey with a little HOPE. I'll deal with the crash later, but for now, I need to be as happy as possible and hope for the best.

GL to you!!!

I don't ovulate and I barely get AF .... but every 4 weeks I POAS like it's going out of style.

Hope is a tricky thing, that's for sure.  We are also dxd with severe MFI.  DH had decent counts, but terrible clumping and 0 motility.  They didn't move AT ALL. 

He started 600mg of Co Q 10 a day and after 3 months he had 80 % motility with the forward progression marked at 3-4. 

I know you're not looking to cycle again, but if being open to having more children is a possibility for you, this might be something to look into.  Aside from the fertility aspect, there are numerous benefits of Co Q 10.  

I know it's hard - keep you're chin up.  Hugs

To quote the Shawshank Redemption: "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."

My husband has 0% morph and we have conceived naturally twice despite doctors telling us it would never happen.  There is always reason for hope.

itsmevkb - we have 0% morph as well and you have just given me more hope!

Thanks to everyone for their kind words.

i dont think its a bad thing, but i also think its important to be reailstic at the same time. hope and faith plays a huge role in this whole IF world.

Even though i have PCOS and dont ovulate on my own (as far as i know), i still get that "could i be pg?!" thought all the time. i am sure i imagine pg symptoms and drive myself insane lol.

having a good support system is really a huge help. you are defenitly not alone!
