There was even a point that I didn't wanna try anymore because I knew that it'll fail and I don't want to experience the stress and disappointment. I can completely relate to you - that at each cycle you TTC, you expect that it wouldn't work. I stopped hoping actually but it never stopped me from trying.<br /><br />Good news will come to you soon and I will keep you in my prayers.KikayChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276130055788827694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14915129.post-55820539549254981982006-11-21T10:51:00.000+11:002006-11-21T10:51:00.000+11:00I know how you feel.

You're all hopped up on hormones and have this big worry in your head about whether it will work - so it's totally understandable that little stuff will set you off.<br /><br />I do think it's a good idea to try to stop and breathe and think positively. But I'm not always very good at it either. I too agree with Thalia - you do what you can and be ok with it. If meditating and positive affirmations come easy to you, the definitely do it. But kicking yourself for not doing it is just going to add to your stress.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168704988026789910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14915129.post-67178751512266416522006-11-21T10:23:00.000+11:002006-11-21T10:23:00.000+11:00Hi Sparkle,

The last thing we need to do is start telling ourselves that being discouraged will reduce our chances of success! My last RE kept saying "Think positive" but he was the one who had told me how shitty our chances were in the first place, so that seemed kind of cruel.<br /><br />I have done the meditation/affirmation thing in an attempt to improve quality of life while I make my way through the torture tunnel of infertility. But I couldn't lie to myself by "affirming" something I couldn't 100% believe, so I didn't say "I will have a baby." It took a while but eventually I worked out "I will accept whatever life offers me," or words to that effect, a sort of promise to myself that life would go on and be valuable no matter what happened. I guess I was also promising myself that I wouldn't slide into a pit of despair never to be seen again. It did help.<br /><br />I am very excited for you with this cycle, even though I don't know you. But I completely understand your need to remain skeptical at the thought that something good could actually come of it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14915129.post-43866990902843642322006-11-20T19:47:00.000+11:002006-11-20T19:47:00.000+11:00I think you just do what you can, and be ok with t...I think you just do what you can, and be ok with that. Plenty of ppl have got pregnant on cycles where they were thoroughly negative, and plenty of ppl have got pregnant on cycles where they were doing "everything right". DOn't add any extra stress by trying things that don't work for you, or trying to be positive when you're not feeling that way.Thaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125639207843989848noreply@blogger.com
