I'm just TIRED.

TrueLoveWaits33 · January 2011

Tired of BFN's...

Tired of seeing what seems like EVERY person on facebook posting sonogram photos and pictures of their new babies...

Tired of cutting out all the things a pregnant girl shouldn't have (caffeine, alcohol, prescriptions) just to find out I'm STILL not pregnant...

Tired of gaining weight from all the stress and not having a bump to show for it...

Tired of having so much sex and sticking my butt up in the air for 15 minutes...

Tired of seeing babies and bumps...

Tired of crying...

Tired of analyzing every symptom and convincing myself that this is the month...

Tired of looking at the Baby Shop and looking at things that I'll buy SOMEDAY when I get that BFP...

Tired of praying, hoping, and trusting that it will happen...

It really just HURTS... more than I expected, more than I can take ...

Just one of those days.

I'm sorry that you're getting frustrated. I like to do something nice for myself when I'm feeling down about this crap - usually a little retail therapy works for me Big Smile

Agreed. CD1 is usually my day to go get new make up or another new top or jeans

I'm sorry

Hang in there...we've all had ALL of those feelings....you are not alone

Yuck. I hate days like that! I like to do something nice for myself on cd1. Last time it was a facial and a new bathing suit. Hot bubble baths and a glass of wine make me feel better too! You are not alone! {hugs}

We are all in the same boat here, trying to have a baby is not longer fun for me either....in fact it sucks. I am sick of over analyzing my chart and sick of my cycles being so inconsistent. I am only on month 4 but each week feels like an eternity. Keep your chin up, your time will come

*Big Bear Hug* Your not alone.

Moose2000 · January 2011

((((((hugs))))))) Sorry to hear you're feeling down, as others have said sometimes it helps to do something special just for you - a hot bubble bath, bottle of wine, pedicure, or retail therapy! Just something for you to help keep your chin up! We have all been there, and some of us will be there again soon, but when you get that BFP someday then all of this will be worth the effort! Hang in there!!

We have all had days, weeks of feeling like this. Your best bet seems to seek out support (we're here!), take a deep breath and try to distract yourself. Maybe do some yoga or get a massage to destress. Its hard, but you have to keep up hope that the BFP will arrive someday!

hello to you too.

I am sorry you are having a hard time.

Hey Ladies,

Thank you all so much for being so sweet and understanding. I'm sorry for being such a downer! That was my first post and I just needed to vent to someone because no one knows that my husband and I are trying.

It's only our 4th month of trying and I know that I really have no excuse to complain because so many people have been trying for so much longer, but I'm just afraid that something will end up being wrong with my husband or myself that we can't get pregnant.

I'm feeling so much better today thanks to all of your thoughtfulness and hugs. Hugs right back to all of you!!! I'm so happy to be a part of this great group of women!

I think most of us have had those same feelings.

I don't mean to come off as insensitive but being THAT upset after only trying for 4 months is a little concerning to me. I really think you need to take a step back from looking at baby stuff, and take appraisal of the great things going on in your life. I'm assuming you have a husband that loves you? Friends? Things you like to do?

I feel like some people tackle baby-making as a "project" and lose sight of everything else in their life and make themselves miserable because this is not a project you can really control 100%. Should you do things to improve your chances like chart? Of course! But should you be this bitter when you have only been trying for four months? To be honest, no. So maybe take a step back and focus on the joy in your life. Because 4 months is nothing. And it REALLY does take some couples a YEAR and they are perfectly healthy. And that should be your expectation. You should expect this to take up to a year, not get pregnant on your very first month out of the gate. Otherwise you are setting yourself up for potentially a year's worth of misery before you get your BFP. Just my thoughts though.

UFCasey, you're absolutely right. I know I'm obsessing and shouldn't be complaining about a short period of time. This is just all very new to me and I'm learning as I go. I figured since I can't vent to any of my friends, I would share it with a group of people in the same boat. Thanks everyone for all the support.
