How I'm surviving TTC
| Wed, 10-15-2003 - 3:53pm |
I thought I would share what DH and I are doing to keep things positive as we wait for a positive HPT. We both felt really depressed after last month (we've been trying for a year now) and decided we needed to find a way to be poitive. So each month, when AF appears, we decided we would start purchasing baby necessaties that we can store until we need them. Last weekend was our seventh anniversary and we went downtown to wander through the shops and had a blast picking up little baby things (baby gap has the cutest little mittens!). We hope that someday we will be able to use them but if not we want to help other families with new babies. There are a lot of new parents who could use some help getting togethor all those cute little things you need for baby. Its nice to put a positive spin on that horrible old AF.
I hope that this month is full of positive HPTs. Good Luck to all!

What a beautiful idea for getting through TTC!! I am so glad that you and DH are finding a way to stay positive through all of this. You both sound like wonderful loving ppl and I know you will get your BFP soon!

I love your suggestion for putting a "positive" spin on what can be a constant negative experience.. similarlyl,my dh and I have decided that with every arrival of AF, we will plan a "weekend" getaway (to be scheduled when she is expected to arrive next) so that we have something to look forward to in case we are disappointed (hopefully one of these weekends will be a celebration!)...it sounds like this plan is pricey (we should be saving for poss. IVF) but even a night in a local hotel with dinner is enough to "take the edge off".
good luck to you!
