Giving up ttc anybody else feel the same?

Question

I am so sick of being stressed out ttc so after my period last month i decided to give up. I can not be arsed anymore i just get disapointed every month.i havent given up having s*x but but now i just do it when we feel like it. Does anyone else feel the same?

Answer 1

I think the stress of trying to conceive is the culprit. Both times I got pregnant was within 2 months of saying we are going to quit trying. Unfortunately at about 15 weeks for each, they didn't survive. Stress can wreak havoc on your body. And hopefully as soon as you stop actively trying, you'll reduce your stress and save money by not purchasing ovulation kits and 5 pregnancy tests every month.

Answer 2

yes definatly! or so i say, i am still using the ovulating strips, i just cant stop completely, i think it turns into a problem! i didnt do any of this stuff with my first born, i think it was just a few drunken fumbles with me and my partner, which it seems like the right way to go because now we are officially TTC it isnt happening!! good luck huny x*x!

Answer 3

I feel the same way. How more disappointing can it get then to get your period every month after trying and reading and lying on your back with pillows under your bottom and starting to make up symptoms just so you can maybe think that you are experiencing some pregnancy symptoms? I am waiting to see what will happen this month but it is so confusing because I don't want to get my hopes up but I also still want it to happen sooooooo badly. Anyway - now I feel a lot better after typing all this.

I felt like you at one point in my life. All you can do is pray and when God feels like your ready everything will fall into place. As with me I prayed every night and when he felt like I was ready he blessed me with a son. It took me 5 years to get pregnant naturally. When I found out I was pregnant I was already 3 months. I'm now ttc and it hasn't happened yet , but I'm just gonna put it in God's hands. You should just pray , don't stress , and keep your faith. It will happen!! God Bless!!!

It is so stressful. It's so heartbreaking, frustrating, disappointing, discouraging, and draining. It kills me every month to see my period has arrived. It breaks my heart seeing the look of disappointment on my fiance's face every month when I tell it didn't happen. Me and him were talking about it all last night, and we both just don't understand it. It's actually to the point where it's starting to really p**s us off! That's nice, hey? My period is due tomorrow, and if it shows, I just give up. They say, when you stop trying, it happens. There has to be some truth in that, seing as how I hear it enough. Gees! Lots of baby dust for all of us, and one day we will all be blessed with our lil miracles! Hopefully that one day is right around the corner for us!  

Answer 6

Yes! I've been charting and reading every book about pregnancy that I can get my hands on. It's driving me crazy!

Answer 7

Praise the Lord!!  Another woman who feels the exact same way as me.. I am just going to enjoy the s*x we have, rather than thinking "is this the shag that gets me pregnant"... The two week wait is the bit that does my nut in - so this month i have come to the conclusion..... F**k it, i have had enough.. If an when i get pregnant, then yay!! Otherwise, i couldnt care less..

Life is too short to get stressed out before you are pregnant, you have the rest of your life to get stressed when raising the bundle of joy!!  

Answer 8

you'll probably find this attitude will be the key to a successful conception!

You'll be less stressed, and it'll just happen when your not expecting it (well, in your case, you'll be expecting it and it wont turn up)!

Good Luck,
