[quote=Anonymous]First - It's not just you not coping. It is overwhelming to manage the temping and checking the calendar and doubting yourself.  If you do fertility treatments it is a lot to manage the appointments, getting meds, calling insurance, etc. then they pump you full of hormones that make it harder to control your emotions. Cut yourself some slack.  It's ok to be emotional. You are going through a stressful time.  Tell your partner what you need. Find outlets for self-care. If you don't want to go to therapy, try Resolve forums to find a supportive community. Remember to take a break from reading the blogs and forums some times and remember that everyone's case is unique.

That said, I see a lot of jealousy on IF blogs and groups and an inability to be around pregnant people and babies.  Personally when going through that I never felt that. Parenthood is not a lottery with a set number of winners. Someone else having a baby does not take a baby away from you.  There are a lot of ways to make a family, trust you will get there one day but be open minded to the fact that you might need to find a different path than you first imagined. [/quote]
