how to get out of the rut?

Tue Dec 25, 2012 8:06 am

i'm sad.
i'm sick of taking pills.
i'm sick of acupuncture.
i feel like no matter how well Dh and I time our BD sesh's we will never get knocked up on our own! I try to be happy for newly pregnant mommy's but i'm at "that place" where i literally cry when I hear their good news. Yoga/meditation hasn't helped my mood. I went to church last week for the first time in years but not sure that's gonna help my funk, either. Ahhhh girls! help! How have you kick yourselves in the a$$ to get happy/TTC motivated again?

It is totally frustrating.
Have you tried the B6, and Progesterone Cream? Maybe that will help your LP. How long have you been doing acupuncture?

I really hope this cycle is for you!! I know about the BDing sessions and not gaining the BFP, I am right there, BDing our hearts away!

**Lurking/haven't posted in a long while** I wish I had the answer for you. I just read your blog entry today and I'm sending {{hugs}} your way. I totally hear you about being sick & tired of doing everything "right" in order to help you conceive. And then the growing frustration of watching so many other women not even have to try. It can be downright painful sometimes. Just know that there are people out here quietly rooting for you & cheering you on. We just have to keep on going, keep on talking it out, keep on believing, keep on trying. We can do this.

I know the holidays can be extra hard sometimes. I was just thinking of how long and exhausting this journey has been today. DH and I talked about it at dinner, both dropped our forks, and both had tears in our eyes. It's soooooo horrible having our lives on hold and waiting and wishing and watching everyone else living our dreams. I hope you can keep putting one foot in front of the other while your path opens up and becomes clear in front of you. I know your steps will bring you the family that you are hoping, wishing, and praying for. Sending you a hug tonight sista!

I just feel so terrible ! I have been working nights and am super tired so I'm sure that is part of it. Also missing my hubby since he is away and I am a geographical bachelorette. I am getting sooo sick of the ups and downs. I am always a super positive person but it is getting hard to keep telling myself that the next cycle will be it... 15 of them haven't been so why the heck would the next one be either?!

Thank you girls for the hugs. I know you know, but sometimes the funk is just so bad!


Dori, I took 100mg b6 and OTC prog. cream last year for a few months and it didn't help. I just started B6 this week again. I found it sitting in my drawer of drugs and figured what the hell. I'm super frustrated because i had such a good cycle last month and this one has gone back to ****. i just don't get it! I've been doing acupuncture weekly since October and chinese herbs since about mid-october. My RE said progesterone would extend my LP but that since he thinks my LPD is because of crappy follicles that it'd basically be a waste.

Good Luck with it. One other thing about the follies, you may have tried this, but it is something I have found a new supplement that will help that. It is CO Q10. I am not sure if you take that,...but it helps your eggs, and it actually helps them turn back time, so as my age goes up the eggs don't.

Oh hun, I know it's not easy to be in your situation but it's ok to be sad for a day. You're doing a great deal to stay healthy and it will pay off. Acupuncture is not a quick fix - oh how I wish it was...but if it's helping, then every effort towards your dream coming true is worth it. I also take a ton of pills and get Acupuncture regularly. I still get angry sometimes and think maybe it's not working, but then I'm gently reminded that the it won't make me pregnant, the treatment can only create a more favorable environment. It will happen for us. Hang in there (((hugs)))
