about to ovulate and scared

I have been TTC for a while. I should ovulate in the next few days and am really struggling with depression. I just don't know how I will handle another month of a let down. Everyone I know thinks about a baby and they are PG. They keep telling me the optimistic montra "It will happen" and "It is just not the right time"... that only serves to make me feel worse when I start AF. I want to curl up in a corner and not talk to anyone until I finally get PG. How do you find the courage to keep going without feeling like an absolute failure???

I totally understand your fears and disappointment whenever AF shows. However, the fact that you're about to ovulate should make you feel hopeful, not depressed! Try to stay positive and tell yourself that it WILL happen, not that it won't! Attitude really can make a difference in this whole TTC process, and believe me, having a positive one can make an incredible difference! You WILL find the courage to keep going if you keep your goal in mind - a happy, healthy baby! And that's what this board is here for - support and encouragement when you can't find it anywhere else. Trust me, most of us here know what you're feeling and what you're going through. So, uncurl yourself from that ball and go get BD-ing - you could be making your baby right now! ;) Good luck and keep us posted on how you're doing!

Don't be scared...be postive..I know it is hard..I did it for a few years myself..it seems you are always losing hope and seeing pg women everywhere at the same time..I hope that you continue to try..I even lost a pg..but still I kept on..now I have two..and am so happy that the struggle happened because I cherish them even more..I don't know if anyone here recommends this..but has anyone ever heard of the Clear Plan Fertility Monitor...I know it is expensive..but gosh it was a life saver...using it instead of opk's helped me get pg with one month of use..and with clomid..so I hope you continue on your trail..and most of all..don't worry and stress that in itself can cause failure..
