Question

Emotionally drained; When will it be our turn.

I started a new cycle today! :( I am having such a hard time emotionally with TTC. I am angry and sad and (dare I say it) a little depressed about it.

Today marks day 1 of our 28th cycle of trying to conceive. We have been tested and both found to be perfectly healthy in all aspects. There it is the wonderful diagnosis of "unexplained infertility" The TWW is long and horrible.

I am constantly seeing announcements of pregnancy. These should be happy things, yet i feel sad and angry - which in turn makes me angry and sad that I am not happy for the parents to be. Any new life should be celebrated yet I feel jealous and wonder why. When will it be our turn? Why don't we have a beautiful child to call our own? What did we do wrong?

This is more of a vent than anything, but any advice or stories of how you have gotten through these feelings during TTC would be amazing. I need to find some happiness. Thank you for reading and responding. Baby Dust to all

I feel the exact same way. Been trying for number 2 for over 6 years now. This is my 4th round of clomid this month. The only advice I have is try not to symptom check and try to expect your period every month. The months were I had every symptom in the book and got my hopes up are the months I cried for 2 days after starting af. It will be our turn for a bfp eventually I hope. Best wishes.

Thank you ckry28. You are absolutely right about the symptom tracking. They are so deceiving!

Have been trying for almost two years with the help of a dr and nothing but a miscarriage :(
I hear you, it is depressing. I actually went on a pregnancy safe anti depressant to cope better with the mood swings and anxiety attacks that are largely caused by the medications and injections I am using for fertiltiy. Prayer helps and focusing on the blessings we have is key for me. Otherwise, I appreciate in some form or fashion that this process has helped me to develop more patience. Wishing you all the best and a baby soon!

You are not alone! My husband and I have been trying for 3 years and have both checked out normal. We too fall under unexplained infertility. I am currently on my 2nd cycle of Femara and Ovidrel injection. The emotional ups and downs make me feel alone and crazy at times. I cried off and on for days last cycle when AF showed up. Sometimes I would tear up at the grocery store because I swear everyone had a baby or was pregnant! For me I guess it helps to know I am not alone. That is part of why I joined this site. I find comfort in talking with others with similar experiences or reading blogs, etc.
I too believe prayer to be helpful. I also do yoga on a daily basis and practice breathing techniques. The combo of these things has helped me a lot. Good luck to you!
