Re: dealing each month
It's really hard. DH and I just finished our 2nd month of trying and we are on to our 3rd. I allow myself 1 day of pity (the day I get AF)...and then I get back on the horse.
Something that helped me this time - I started reading some older threads and came across one from about 3 months ago. It was called "Why arent I pregnant" and it was everyone venting about not being pregnant. But reading that thread now - 3 months later - more than half the girls that posted on that thread are now pg!! That gives me hope. In fact, I am going to bump it so others can see!!

Re: dealing each month
It is getting easier for me. I think that the first couple of months you expect to get pregnant and it is so dissappointing when you dont. now i am not expecting it so hopefully the month that it does happen it will be a nice surprise!

Re: dealing each month
I don't know if it ever gets easier. I'm going on my second month now of actively trying instead of the "we'll just see what happens". But everytime AF does show up I just say to myself "happy hour here I come!!!!!!". That usually helps

Re: dealing each month
I cry the day AF shows up, then enjoy wine with dinner once or twice while she is in town, then start all over again.

Re: dealing each month
I guess it may never really gets easy. But whenever I get a BFN or just frustrated with my crazy cycle I sit down and play with my 4 year old son. It helps me because I had him no problem and I know it will happen eventually.
