How do you get through the tough days?
I've been pretty good for the most part during this journey but like all I definitely have my moments.
I ask myself "maybe this isn't in the cards" "why is this happening to ME" "maybe DH isn't the one or something" I literally question everything.
Just thought it might be helpful to share what helps everyone get through those moments.
Last night, I ate a huge slice of tiramisu (spelling?)  and I bought $200 worth of stuff at JCrew lol

Shopping and food sound about right. Wine too.

Re: How do you get through the tough days?
this is jmo..but i never separate dh and i from the equation..
this si happening to both of us..do not get me wrong he has it easier but we are a package deal..we go in together and come out..we are doing this as a team
we also talk about everything so he knows when i feel like shit and i know when he is tired of all this
when i am having a bad day i stop and say to myself..does this suuck..yes..but this is just my way of getting here and if i gave up now all the shots,tears,meds,momey,mc's,all of it is worth nothing...so we keep going..a wise "cat" told me that
also i think it is very important to let yourself have bad days..if you want to cry,cry if you do not feel like going to that baby shower do not go..IF is hard and if u want a day or 2 to lay down and cry you most def deserve it
good luck

Wine!!!!!! Yoga and meditation. Dh gives me days of relaxation when I feel totally emotionally drained. He cleans the house for me and gets me whatever I need. Sometimes I just call my Mom and she makes me feel better. She struggled as well and she gets it. Some days I take my dog for a long walk and clear my head.

Wine!!!!!! Yoga and meditation.
This. As this has wound on without resolution, I have gotten increasingly pessimistic and angry. I read a book called the Mind Body Fertility Connection, and it helped me see that I really needed to pull myself out of it. Yoga and meditation (not the wine so much lately because I am also trying to lose weight to improve my physical health) have been the ladder out of this pit of despair I've been wallowing in.
In the short term I say anything that makes you feel good  whether that's shopping, sex, wine, chocolate, travel..indulge because you definitely deserve it!
