Do you ever feel so emotionally drained by all this?

I know I am. I am 2 DPO and already feel down like I do just before AF shows up - I cried on ovulation day just thinking how hard all this is. Maybe the extra dosage of clomid is making me more emotional, maybe it is because it has been over a year of trying - I don't know

I'm sorry you have to go through this Donna.. I really am. You're such a sweet person, and I know you're going to make a great mother.

But as for your question, yes. I'm highly emotional right now, and I haven't even ovulated yet. My monitor is still stuck on high. Even some people on the site, which is supposed to be supportive, are offending me. I know it's probably my emotions out of sorts.. and my fault for posting what I do.. so I've kind of started slacking off from posting.

But, I just know your day is coming, Donna. ((hugs))

Donna,
I think it's the Clomid talking. I know it's hard, but when the day comes that you DO get your BFP, it will make all the more sweeter. You have the patience of a saint to come this far - DON'T give up, keep trying, chin up sweetie - IT WILL HAPPEN!

and

I just wanted to say I completely agree with you. This is only cycle #7 for me but I am feeling especiallydespondent this month.

Holy cow Donna! I was just thinking the same things today!! I am very very drained. I just O'd this past weekend and the first day after O I thought positive thoughts. Now I am feeling down just like I do right before AF shows.

I am sure all of the things you listed are causing you to be more emotional than usual. For me I think it is the fact that it is taking soo long to get pregant and I am so sick of trying for nothing each month.

I feel the same way. I am emotionally and physically drained. I am starting month 16th and I just feel like giving up some days.

Every day!!! It seems I'm always depressed...I don't know if it is still from the mc or because of ttc or what. I know you will get your turn soon Donna. You truly deserve it.

I feel the same way and want to give up all the time. I feel like I will be entering my 12th cycle this month and I just Oed today. TTC is a very trying and draining thing.

Phoenix Rising · #9 May 25th, 2006, 05:24 PM

Oh yes... in fact, after 3 years I am pretty close to giving up if I dont get clomid or something happening pretty soon.

I am on a temping and TTC break the last couple of months and I really needed to do so for my sanity.

I feel the same way. At one point maybe about cycle 18 or sooner I started asking DH if we could stop when AF showed. But we are now on cycle 21 with this going to be the 5th for Clomid. I only have 3 more cycles to try and then have to stop.

But I feel the same. I think that maybe I'm not meant to have a little boy ever again.

The ups and downs off TTC are heartbreaking, especially when the downs start outnumbering the ups. I don't know that it gets easier, either.

All of you ladies are and are going to be amazing mothers. Your children will be the luckiest to have someone who wanted them so badly and fought so long to get them.

I know exactly how you feel hon. I have PCOS and i was taking clomid and metphormin for 8 months and then early this month i had a Laparoscopy done. Well, now i am back on metphormin and clomid but starting out from the beginning all over again because i had the surgery. I wish you the best of luck and try to do things to occupy your time so that you don't think about the problems. I have to do that sometimes cause i get sooo emotionally drained and dont want my husband around me and with all these meds it doesn't help my emotions at all. But, GL and I hope you will get a BFP really soon!!!

proudjmmom · #13 May 27th, 2006, 04:55 PM

I hear you too! Every BFN is getting worse and worse to take

. I'm so tired of seeing the BFN. All i want now is to see a BFP! And it makes it especially hard cuz i have extremely long cycles. It seems like its taking forever to get preggy. It happened so fast last time for us, and this time, seems like a lifetime! Its drinving me insane! And actually its starting to get to DH as well!
I know we will all get our BFP sometime soon!
