after 14 cycles I can honestly say I've never cried or really broken down when AF shows up. I've been pissed or disappointed, I vent about it, get it off my chest and move on. I know it'll happen sooner or later and there's really no sense wasting time over what might have been or wallowing in the fact that I'm not pg...there's certainly not going to do anything to help me get pg next time around, so I just keep moving forward.
For this child I prayed, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him.

I enjoy the things I couldn't have if I were pregnant - wine and caffeine!
When AF shows her face I just think to myself that "the last cycle wasn't the right time, and hope that the next cycle is". I'm only on cycle #4, so we'll see how sane I am in 6 -12 months!
Honestly, when I feel myself starting to get a little crazy, I step away from the boards. We're only on our third cycle ttc, but each time FF tells me I've O'd I'm thankful that I was able to do it on my own. Small victories, I guess.
You can bet I drink when AF shows. I just try to be greatful for what I do have (I O own my now, at first I was anov.). Last night was my first in tears breakdown (I hid it from H though so he wouldn't worry) because I'm afraid of what problems might show up on my sono and HSG this week.
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929

Drinks do help! I just remember that the months go by quickly and I will be ovulating before I know it. That's been working so far.

Wine definitely helps. I also find that it helps to plan vacations that I couldn't take if I were super pregnant (ie. cruise)!
