    Anti Depressants?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question, has anyone taken or considered taking antidepressants whilst doing IVF. I have always been a very positive person, at least until my TTC journey began 4 years ago. As time has gone by, I feel that I have become more and more obsessive and TTC is always on my mind. It doesn't help that my work is very quiet and I have endless amounts of time to read TTC forums and goole etc. I am very aware of my behaviour and my thinking and am trying to alliviate this, I read, walk, do yoga, mediate every day, go to acupunture twice a week, but my obsession with this never wanes (and I think has become worse since I decided to take a break from IVF until next year, as I don't have the IVF process and schdule to keep me focused).

    I had a bit of a crying rant and rave to my mum yesterday, and she has said that she is worried I might be falling into depression. I have good days and bad days, but always the constant thinking and sadness re TTC. I just want to stop thinking about it but can't.

    She has suggested I ask FS about anti depressants. My DH says all I need to do is 'be strong'.

    Has anyone else been in this situation? Your thoughts would be much appreciated. Hugs xx
