How do you stay sane?!?!

Not sure if this is the correct area for this post, so I do apologise if it's not. But...

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a year now. We're seeing a fertility specialist and I've been taking ovulation stimulation injections for the past two months, however this is our first month of a full round (last month I ovulated early and couldn't take the remainder of the drugs). My periods were a bit all over the shop, but our biggest hurdle is that my husband has a rather low sperm count. My period is due tomorrow. And I can't stop thinking about it and analysing everything! We've done everything the doctor told us to do. I've had sore boobs for about a week and a half now (although today I woke up and they aren't as sore, which is starting to get me down a little because it usually means my period is on it's way). I usually get a browny coloured discharge a few days before my period, which I haven't had at all this month. I've been feeling a bit nauseous the past couple days, but am not sure if that's just the anxiety and anticipation of my period (am also starting a new job today). I don't have any cramping yet. I desperately don't want my period to arrive. But because it's so close now, I can't stop thinking about it! I've built up my hopes so much that I know how devastated I'll be if I have to go through another round of injections.

How do you stay sane while you're waiting?!?! :wall:

Hi Future Mummy
I hope things are going well for you. There is somewhere on this site (BB) where people talk about the two week wait and how to occupy yourself while you wait in hope with fingers tightly crossed. I have had a quick look but can't find it. Hopefully someone reading this will know and can give you some direction. Best of luck.

Hi Future Mum - what you are describing is very normal for those in the two week wait (TWW) - it is a very hard and difficult time and unless someone has been through it is very hard for others to understand. I've pasted the link to the TWW thread in the LTTTC area of the forums which may be a good place for you to go to find others who can offer support.

Wishing you all the best.
FG

I know that I spend my time chatting on these forums and writing in my blog...it normalises things for me and I appreciate the advice a support of all the others who are experiences the same thing. I do try to keep busy tho...a bit harder when you are going through fertility treatment! Goodluck! Sending lots of :pink-babydust::bluedust: your way!
