Sooo how do you remain positive but not get your hopes

at the same time...??

Re: Sooo how do you remain positive but not get your hopes

  • when you find out, let me know!

    no, really. for me it's about continuing to be realistic. reality tells me that there is still hope. there is possibility, chance and better luck. reality tells me that all of my testing yielded no bad news -- so that means there is still hope. at the same time, reality has taught me (twice) that things don't always work out in this game . . . so it's such a mixed bag. all I know is that I still want to try. we still want a family of our own, and for now, we will keep up the hope.

  • I listen to country music, one of my new favs is "Sounds Like Life to Me." Kinda my new motto. Everyone is going through something tough. Even if you think what they have is nothing on what you have, it's life, and it's not always easy.

    This.

    But, I'm not positive. I guess I can't get my hopes up that way.

    All this. After three losses I'm just not sure it's ever going to happen again.  This is some life lesson, I'm not sure what, but it sucks.

    This! why didn't I think of this before waxing poetically with my response (which is still true -- but I like this idea better!)??

    LMFAO~~

  • Ive just decided to not let my hopes get up anymore. Next time I get a BFP, I'm just going to assume it'll end the same way, and that way I'll be expecting it and maybe it'll be less of a blow. Besides, there's nothing I can do about it anyway.
