As the PP mentioned, the cycle of hope and disappointment is so crushing. No matter how hard I try to force myself to not get my hopes up, I'm always convinced that I'm pregnant each month (and so far, I haven't been). I feel so let down by my body, each and every month (and I feel tricked even, thinking that I was pregnant). I've even tried the opposite -- letting positive optimism and excitement run free in my mind in the hopes that just being positive all month will keep me from being totally slammed with the BFN... but that doesn't seem to be very effective either.<br /><br />I especially appreciate Tired & Stuck and this post because it's nice to read other women feeling the same way as me. My husband doesn't understand, my good friends got pregnant easily or didn't discuss their trials, so it's easy to feel like there's something wrong with us because we're so disappointed each month. But there isn't anything wrong with feeling disappointed. We're all working quite hard (in our own ways) trying to get knocked up, so I just remind myself that disappointment is normal. Heck, if I wasn't disappointed, it probably would mean (for me) that I didn't really want it.Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999173170442768551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558418594324783250.post-52862598056601113112011-11-22T11:17:42.400-08:002011-11-22T11:17:42.400-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999173170442768551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558418594324783250.post-79134981529152357032011-11-22T09:09:12.273-08:002011-11-22T09:09:12.273-08:00Those stupid BFNs suck so much.

I just want to stop thinking about this fertility crap all the time, living my life in these increments divided between waiting to ovulate and waiting to get my period. The cycle of hope and disappointment. It's exhausting. It feels like it's taking over my identity! Anyways, nothing can really help that feeling each month (short of a couple valium or 10 shots of tequila), but do know that you're not alone . . . I like your book title by the way - I would totally read it!Laranoreply@blogger.com
