How do you...
stay positive? I've just ended month # 3 of TTC'ing (which I know is not THAT long) but I am getting very frustrated. 6 of my friends have had or are expecting babies within the past year...ALL conceived first time...WHAT THE HELL??? I try not to think about it, I try to convince myself that I'm not prego, but nothing works.
What do you do?

Re: How do you...
Actually my best coping mechanism is to come on here and see that I'm not alone. Sometimes it feels like all the world is preggo but me. But the ladies here are right there with me (and many trying longer than I have been) and it keeps me going!

Re: How do you...
I find it goes in a cycle.....
I get anxious in the BD/2ww stage. Then I get enormously discouraged in the BFN/AF stage and I vow I am giving up. Then slowly I get all optimistic in the Post-AF/Pre-BD stage and convince myself that this is my month....
So I don't stay positive...but I always find myself back there at one point in the process.
But this is my month....at least I have decided to will it that way with the power of positive thinking!!

I kind of find myself doing the above. Right now I'm at the "AF was due today, but isn't here & I have 2 BFNs under my belt" stage which completely BLOWS

Re: How do you...
Thank you girls! I definitely agree with the timeline of excitement - frustration. It's a vicious cycle!
I was due for AF today, got a BFN yesterday and had light pink spotting today...I think it's coming late but I wish it wouldn't come at all!
