[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The time I took trying to get pregnant the first time was an incredibly difficult time for me. I'm a "fixer" - and when you're trying, there's so little you can DO at the end of the day to make it work. It was only 7 months (I got lucky) but I totally feel for you.

What really helped me was to throw myself at something creative. I've never been an artist or painter, but I found this series on YouTube:

Big Art Quest by the Art Sherpa, who's real name, if you can believe it, is Cinnamon. It's a weekly series, one year long, that teaches you to paint. I think I only got through the first like 8 weeks before I got pregnant, but it was absolutely game changing. Strongly recommend.

Taking some of that anxious energy and spending the day in an art store rubbing brushes on my face (per Cinnamon's advice!) seems silly in retrospect, but it was great.

Thank you for the recommendation, I’m excited to try it!  I painted a bit to help me relax a few months ago, but ran out of inspiration as my fertility struggles dragged on (and continue to drag on, ugh). Maybe this course will give me some ideas![/quote]
