How to stay positive after ttc for over a year?
My husband and I have been ttc for over a year and I am beginning to lose hope. We have gone to a fertility specialist and we are still currently trying but the stress and disappointment every month is getting harder and harder. We have taken vacations and frequently do fun things together... we are very open with each other and support each other fully. So with all that said, for those who have been in this situation/are currently in this situation, what are some strategies you have used to stay positive while ttc?

Let go of trying to control everything each cycle. Try not to obsess over ovulation tests, tracking, symptoms, hpts, etc. If all the conditions are right it will happen. It took us over 6 years to conceive our 1st baby via IVF. Leave the worrying up to your doctor's and just try to go with the flow. I know it seems hopeless when you are in the thick of it but if you just keep taking it 1 step at a time you will create your family one way or another.

We too have passed the year mark, I find constructive distractions very helpful. I've been doing a lot of knitting, and have gotten back on the fitness bandwagon, trying to focus on getting in optimal shape instead of obsessing over how not-pregnant I am. We're TTC after vasectomy reversal, and we were told it often takes people 1-2 years to succeed after VR (knowing that doesn't make the wait any easier, of course), so I'm doing everything I can to not stress myself out in the meantime.
