New to Site...Fustrated and emotionally drained

Hi all,I'm Felicia and I am new to the site. Me and my DH have been trying for bout 3 yrs. 2 yrs naturally and bout 1 yr with the docs. help. This is such an emotional roller coaster that I'm not sure how much longer I can ride it out, It's almost like gambling you keep saying just one more round (month in our case) of needles and visits to my second home. But when do you throw the gloves down and say it's time for a break or start looking at other options? Any advice on how to get through day by day without breaking down in tears.

You're in the right place!

Felicia,



I, too, don't have any advice for how to make it day-to-day because I haven't figured that out yet for myself. All I can say is now that you've found the forum, visit often. This has truly become the place that I come to find answers, motivation, vent, and laugh. So I guess it would be fair to say, this site is what helps me "keep on keeping on" on those rough days. So glad you found us.

I completely understand how you feel about the whole taking a break idea. Since my hubby got back from Iraq two years ago, we have been ttc. Only since April have we been seeing a doctor for it. I keep telling myself that I am going to take a break, but then its always the "let's try it for another month". I can't tell you how to deal with it because I am not sure on how to deal with it myself. I just recently found this site. I am jglad that I found this site. I come here everyday and it is like I am with people who know what I am going through.
