Emotions

[benswife]

Hi all, just wanting to know if anyone else experiences the crazy emotions with ttc? My husband and I have been ttc for 18 months. I have been having accupuncture and chinese medicine treatments for almost this whole time which have completely regulated my cycle. I still don't ovulate and am now seeing a FS and on my first round of clomid 50mg.
I am generally a very level headed person, but the last few months have really got to me; excitement, disappointment, sadness, anxiety, happiness, frustration. Is this normal? I'm almost emotionally exhausted. I swear though, if one more person tells me "relax and it'll happen" I might explode! I've never been so sensitive in my life!

Hi benswife. Im exactly the same. I have been ttc since august for my second with fertility issues and on clomid.. Each month from cd1 to around o im depressed then from o onwards I get hopeful again and read into every sign I have. All month I google different things in my cycle im experiencing.. I am going crazy and feel teary when talking too much to dh about it all.. It does get too much but its not something u can just say oh its too hard lets give up.
I think so many women are like this when ttc you're not alonw. Hopefully it doesn't take too much longer x

I'm tired of trying and am emotionally drained this cycle. I haven't been trying asong as you @benswife but after 8 cycles of really trying plus 3 of not not trying, plus 2 Clomid cycles, I'm feeling like a failure.
Its so tiring and nobody understands.

@waitingforBFP I know! I swear I want to scream sometimes when people try and accuse me of "not trying hard enough" I am so sick of it. Well, I hope you get some comfort in knowing that you're not alone. Although we're random internet strangers, I'm here if you need anything!!!!

I have been feeling much the same for a tad longer. I'm not seeing a fs and I'm not on fd, as I am trying to naturally fall pg. The emotional rollercoaster and the (not so motivational ) words from others are much the same though, if not a bit more intense. I won't simply get angry, I get murderous or I won't be just sad, I would be downright depressed. Thing is, anything can trigger any emotion and it's mostly the wrong emotion.

Your definitely not alone, hubby and I have been TTC for 2 years, and its been a emotionally draining two years. The worst is when we are getting the pressure from his parents saying "so when are you going to have a baby" If only they knew
