TTC After a Loss
Oldies but goodies
How do you stay hopeful or optimistic? I feel like I just get more bitter and angry as time passes and that I have fewer and fewer good days.

Re: Oldies but goodies
This, they all seemed to be out this weekend here too!
I don't know if I'm an Oldie, I've been off the pill since 2007 and had one MC the whole time....ok, I'm an Oldie. I don't deal with it, I'm just pissed, bitter and angry. I buy expensive things, drink, and make fun of people. I am a sheer deeeelight.
Sorry, I started wanting to be motivational but it took a turn.
hey girl....
well i usually find that being snarky to drive by's and trolls does help ease the bitterness just a little bit.
man but i have such mood swings about the whole TTC thing. like when AF is about to arrive, like now, i get all pissed/sad/depressed and i think that i'm just going to either take a break or give up. then after that passes and i get closer to O i start to think ok we'll try again, what other choice do we have? but i am def getting discouraged.
next week is one yr since we got pg.
It was especially great when I heard one girl complain to her friend..."we'd have so much more fun if we didn't have the baby with us" Are you f--- kidding? As DH and I were looking at her with jealousy, wishing we had our baby there with us.
I don't know how I am not always bitter. Maybe because it drains on you so much after a while.
I also try to discuss anything BUT the pregnancy if I'm with someone who's expecting.
2 years of TTC, Seeing RE Feb 09, 2 medicated TI cycles - BFNs, 3 medicated IUIs - BFNs, back to medicated TI cycles until IVF approval, IVF approved in March 2010. BFP on last medicated TI cycle.
getting to the f*it bitter stage here too~~
1st DO NOT watch the movie Revolutionary Road (Leo Di & Kate Winslet) ~ like throwing an ocean full of salt in the wounds!
2nd I cried at our 4th of July party this weekend. It's one of our most fun parties every year. When I was PG ~ I kinda chuckled about being PG for that party & sitting back for the revelry. Instead I could participate.... and didn't really
Hang in there sister!
I think this is about right for me. You start to get used to disappointment, and start think about different things.
You crack me up. But I'm totally in. Let's get drunk in the food court at a mall and harass passing shoppers, especially pg ones. I'm feeling in a spitball kind of mood today. You like?
I hope you don't mind me answering, but I am an oldie.
We started ttc in august 07, and had a m/c in Jan 08. It took a FULL YEAR to get another BFP and it turned out to be a c/p. We switched RE's and it made a world of difference.
I will say that it gets easier, but it sucks. You will have good days and really down days. It took us almost 2 full years to get to the point where we are right now. We are still so early but I'm very hopeful that this is our sticky bean.
You will get there, and try to remember it's not about anyone else, its about you. It doesn't matter how long the road is, you will eventually get to the end.
Big Hugs to you.
