Trouble TTC

This week has been so bad...

Let me start by saying it could be worse. I am so blessed.

Maybe I have gotten myself in over my head. I work Monday-Friday (I am financial analist for juv/domestic court). I clean a family friends house on Thursday nights, and I work as a bridal consultant on Sat and Sun. We are in the process of buying a house (hints the need to make extra cash). In addition to me taking Clomid. I would just like to catch a break some where. I am so tired, so stressed, and I really don't feel well b/c of the meds I am on. Everyone says..." Your doing too much", "You need to put one thing on the back burner", but who's going to come along and do it for me/us. I haven't asked my husband to get another job, he works and take care the house....he hasn't really offered anything additional either. I think I am just being emotional, but ladies I could use some cheering today!

Re: This week has been so bad...

  • I know the feeling of being overwhelmed all too well.  Whenever I am feeling like I am in over my head I make me time.  Go do something that you really enjoy and be selfish for a little while.  It usually gets me back to normal. :)

     Just remember, everyday is what you make of it! Hope you feel better!

    Secondly, if you are run down, it might not help you ttc. You might want to sit down with your DH and explain how you are feeling. I had to remind my DH several times what the meds do to me/how they make me feel because he didn't understand why I would be so tired and moody. Especially if your DH isn;t going through any treatments of his own, he should help out a bit. You can't carry all this on your shoulders. Hope you feel better soon!

  • It sounds like you have an incredible amount of juggling. Life gets in the way sometimes. I wish there was another way for you. I hear you, though- no one is going to do it for you. Is there anything NICE you can do for yourself. For me its a walk in the woods with my dog and a manicure. Sounds silly and simple, but it helps me. 

    It sounds like you feel you have no choice but to take care of everything. That may even be true. Is there an opportunity that someone can take care of you or you can spoil yourself a little bit?

     HUGS.

  • Maybe you could ask your husband to help out a little more, just to give you a break-it really sounds like you need it and need to take some time to do something for yourself!
