Back after many many months away (DD mentioned)

Tink1704 · May 2015

Hello fellow ttc mommas. My name is Mindy. My husband and I tried for 5 years and mcs before we had our DD. She is a true joy and don't get me wrong I am very grateful for her, but for 10 months we have been doing fertility treatments which are 2 hours away and 3-5 days a week. I'm currently 11 dpo with follistim and really struggling with the chances of another bfn. How do you stay positive? I feel like I'm reading more and more into every little thing I feel hoping it's good and then get let down. How long would you keep trying? I already suffer from depression and don't want it to sink me further into it.

Welcome back! Staying positive isn't easy and I sometimes fail. In fact I'm currently on a break for emotional reasons... and sometimes taking a breather is okay. I go to RESOLVE meetings and also participating on this board really, really helps. There something about talking to people who are in the same boat, you know?

You keep trying until the pain of trying is bigger than the pain of not succeeding. I know that's not an easy answer, but that's what was told to me when I asked an IF veteran a few years ago. GL with your follistim plan!
