Took the plunge and called a therapist. Appt today!

My mom and aunt have been bugging me about needing to see a therapist or "your never going to get pregnant" d/t the stress.  Well it just makes me sick when they say stuff like that but there was just this nagging voice in the back of my head "what if they're right?"  So that has been making me very anxious and it's just this vicous cycle!  I went ahead and called an IF therapist and scheduled an appt.  BUT I've decided not to tell my mom and my aunt...

    YEAH!!  I'm so glad you did.  I am also glad you found one that specializes in IF!  I think it will go well and I think it is fine that you don't tell your mom and aunt until you are ready.  GL and let us know how it goes!

    Good for you! I'm seeing mine today. I first sought her help when I suffered an e/p two years ago and she got me through some really tough times. Now that we're ttc again and facing some crappy news from the RE about my reproductive system, well, it's time to see her again. Try not to consider it as a one time deal, they can be more helpful if you see them a few times...Good luck and I'm proud of you!

    I've been seeing an IF therapist for about 9 months....she's amazing! I've made a lot of progress emotionally. Hope you get a great one!

    GL....I am seeing a therapist (not IF) but she has helped me so much.  I didn't want to seem weak by going and talking to someone but I am so greatful to her with everything she has helped me get through.  Even though she doesn't specialize in IF, it has even helped me in that part of my life also.

    GL and I hope that it works out for you in the way that you need it to.

    I went to an IF therapist a few times. I can't say it helped tremendously, but it didn't hurt.  I hope you have a great experience. Sometimes it's good to just get it all out...
