We got pregnant the first time a year after we got together, I miscarried. It took 7 years and tons of testing and treatments and etc to get pregnant again, I miscarried. It took 3 more years to get pregnant again, Landon was stillborn at 35w1d.<br />My thoughts are 100% consumed with TTC - it's who I am... I'm the lady who's been trying for 11 years and still has nothing to show for it, yet I continue to torture myself in trying. <br />Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone, if you ever need to talk, I'm here.losinglandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07794145712868120309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2219480138498759917.post-39344386558340918972010-11-26T11:34:43.178-05:002010-11-26T11:34:43.178-05:00When you are TTC after loss it consumes your thoug...When you are TTC after loss it consumes your thoughts. We tried month after month and I seriously though there was something wrong with me b/c it only took 3 months with Kyndra and 1 month with Carleigh. It took us 9 months to get pregnant with Lainey. And actually it was that next month I was going to make an appt with the dr b/c I thought something was wrong. And just like what I did with Kyndra, once I let it go I ended up pregnant. Maybe I just need to relax a little when TTC! I really just gave it over to God even with my plans to see a dr the next month.<br /><br />It's such a disappointment each month when you're not pregnant. I am not sure what is the best route to take. My fear would be those months on BC would be months taken away from TTC when something could've happened. But then again what if it wouldn't have mattered and you could've done something? It can make you go crazy.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431384515813384025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2219480138498759917.post-75543722104138711192010-11-24T09:20:21.451-05:002010-11-24T09:20:21.451-05:00Hey Erin:) When I was TTC, I had the same overwhe...Hey Erin:) When I was TTC, I had the same overwhelming thoughts that never stopped - the wonder, being careful of what I ate, was I warmer than usual (I had heard that happens when you're preggers), did that cramp mean ovulation, will I ever be able to carry a baby, etc. etc. Those thoughts were there w/o something tragic happening beforehand. So I'm sure your thoughts are 100% amplified.<br />The only thing that helped me was the stop technique. Every time I had a thought of the TTC sort, I would stay to myself "Stop, you will be a mother one day no matter what. It's in God's timing." I had to say that to myself SO many times a day! If you can say "stop" to yourself and then follow it by some uplifting truth, you might find that helpful.Deborah Snoreply@blogger.com
