Your not alone. I have cried many many times to my DH because I can't think of any thing else to do. I've felt like a failure to many times to count. This roller coaster is making me sick and the only way off is with a pregnancy. Baby dust to you.

I feel very similar, I am coming up on my 1 year mark of TTC and it really hasn't gotten easier. I also feel like I am annoying my DH with how hard I am trying and now emotional I am getting (which thats just me overthinking because he is very supportive) but I am 22 years old my DH is 21 I feel like we should not have problems.
I know its hard and almost impossible, but I have tried taking on activities to take my mind off of trying to conceive. It sounds so cliche but theres really nothing we can do but wait and pray that God will bless us with a beautiful baby. I am no longer taking vitamins or using preseed to help me TTC, this month I am putting all of my faith in God and hoping he will see that I am going to be an excellent mother and have faith that he will bless me. Im sorry this isnt much help but I just wanted to let you know you are not alone!

I could have written your question myself - I feel that exact same way. It is so incredibly difficult when it seems as though everyone around you effortlessly gets pregnant and yet, despite your best intentions, it hasn't worked yet for you. What do you say? How do you react when you're genuinely happy for others but simultaneously so sad for yourself?

I, too, find it to be an emotional roller coaster that repeats itself every month. I wish I had good advice on how to make it better - everyone says to keep busy, which does seem to help, but it's so hard to do so when all you can think about is TTC! I do think that being extra kind to yourself can be helpful - I've bought myself a few gifts, gone to the spa, etc, to try to cheery myself up. I've also purposely avoided tv shows, social media, etc that seems to place extra emphasis on babies, pregnancy, etc. I feel for you and wish you all the best with your TTC!

Thank you ladies. It's such a huge help to know you're not alone. Sending extra baby dust your ways.

Thank goodness i'm not going mad.this is only my second cycle and already I am on that rollercoaster. Im promising myself that I wont become obsessed but thats easier said than done. Baby dust ladies!!!!!

WOW, that was VERY well put! I don't think there is a better way it could have been said! I am finding myself on the same rollercoaster and I, too am miserable. But we have to just keep pushing and being strong, because when we do get pregnant, this part will have seemed easy :) Positive thinking! And thank you for showing me that I am not alone on this ride! and remember, neither are you!
