Unhappily TTA. How do you deal? (DS in sig)

My miscarriage ended up being a month long ordeal (they followed my betas for a month and they kept falling then rising again) so they ruled it ectopic and treated me with methotrexate.  Now we have to TTA for the next 2-3 cycles due to that. 

I know in hindsight a few months is nothing, it's just that we tried for 9 months before succeeding last time so it's hard to step back especially after losing what we finally got and wanted most. 

I am just wondering how others deal with TTA and keep it from driving you crazy.  I am trying to use this time to focus on exercise and getting my body in shape, but I still have TTC on my mind a lot.

I have no clue. I only found out about my miscarriage two days ago and the thought of TTA for the next 2-3 months is agony. We TTC for 8 months before we became pregnant with our baby. I cannot even begin to imagine going through the entire process again. I just wish I was pregnant still.

I am in the same boat, and I have no idea what to do. I was thinking about finding some good books or trying out a new exercise routine or planing things to do with my son. I am so sorry for your loss, I remember your siggy from TTGP.

I made a list of goals. I included weight loss goals, exercise goals, reading goals, etc. I planned lots of things to do. Concerts, date nights, anything fun to look forward to every couple weeks helps hive you something to focus on rather than just counting down to TTC. But honestly, it just sucks, and you just have to wait. And I'm not sure it ever gets out of your head.

my methods are getting back to my hot yoga regiman (cant do hot yoga during pg), going on fun dates with dh (late night, cocktail type dates), girls nights. basically stuff i cant do or feel too sick/tired to do pg. obviously id prefer to still be pg, but thats not the way it worked out so im determined to have fun in the meantime.

also we are going to opening day and some concerts. those things are more fun not pg.

Thanks ladies -  a lot of great ideas.  I've been so stuck in my own pity party that it became hard to look at any "bright side" but I will definitely take advantage of doing what I can while I can do it, and hopefully pass the time.
