[quote=Anonymous]You're right, the TWW can be tough.

But, I say this gently, you've only been at this for one month. There might be a long road ahead of you. My suggestion would be to try to practice a form of cognitive behavioral therapy where you think about positive things and not focus energy on negative things. You'll drive yourself into an anxiety and depression spiral if you spend two weeks a month totally paralyzed. Would you be able to visit with a therapist to discuss your feelings?

For what it's worth, it took me 8 months to conceive #2 after an easy time conceiving #1. I was able to cope by focusing my energy on the family I have, thinking about the positive things of my child being an only, knowing that I have the option to explore fertility treatment if we decide to go that route, and to learn not to expect a positive pregnancy test in any particular month. Focusing on the positives in my life actually helped me get to a place where I forgot I was in the TWW until my period came. (Or, the month I did get pregnant, until I realized my period had NOT arrived and I took a test and it was positive!)[/quote]
