Are you going to Disneyland in Anaheim? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-time-staying-sane-whilst-waiting-for-treatment#post-1458339 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 14:05:40 +0000 deactivated_account 1458339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also obsess with things, too. Its not fun to have to wait for something that you want right now! I am waiting until May before I can get in to see my obgyn and tell her I need help. Until then, I ride horses on the weekends and sip wine in a jacuzzi with my sister on week nights - both things I couldn't do if I was pregnant. I love my life right now - even without a baby - so I just keep enjoying it as it is while knowing a baby will change the status quo dramatically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-time-staying-sane-whilst-waiting-for-treatment#post-1458310 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 13:57:57 +0000 littlek 1458310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: end of may :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-time-staying-sane-whilst-waiting-for-treatment#post-1458222 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 13:39:04 +0000 MaryM 1458222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm checking in just hoping for more helpful advice!</p> <p>Right now I'm waiting to return to normal post-MC</p> <p>Then I'll be waiting until May-ish when DH said he'd feel more comfortable starting to TTC. </p> <p>The waiting associated with a natural miscarriage was awful enough, I thought for SURE I'd feel super relieved once it was over....but it seems like there just keep being things to wait for!</p> <p>I need to force myself to find projects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-time-staying-sane-whilst-waiting-for-treatment#post-1458203 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 13:35:05 +0000 Snowdrop 1458203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: when is your trip?</p> <p>I should be doing an essay but I really can't motivate myself. Hopefully the weather will warm up and I can get back into gardening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-time-staying-sane-whilst-waiting-for-treatment#post-1456062 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:52:53 +0000 littlek 1456062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to do projects. Right now, planning our trip to Disney. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-time-staying-sane-whilst-waiting-for-treatment#post-1456049 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:48:34 +0000 spaniellove 1456049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The waiting is so hard. Looking back, I think it was helpful to have major projects totally unrelated to TTC to put all my energy into. Planning and going on a trip helped to take my mind off things and in turn inspired some lifestyle changes that did a great job of distracting me when we got home, and I remember we also did a lot of work to our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-time-staying-sane-whilst-waiting-for-treatment#post-1455964 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:10:41 +0000 Snowdrop 1455964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: hmm I might start that, I just want to fast forward to June. Then I feel guilty wishing my life away!</p> <p>@derevival: I obsess about stuff too. Except normally the more you obsess, work at something, the more likely you are to achieve it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-time-staying-sane-whilst-waiting-for-treatment#post-1455330 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:25:56 +0000 bhbee 1455330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think @derevival: has great advice. I am super bad at waiting and it has been hard and right now I am still waiting for the treatments we have been doing lately to work out. One way I deal is that I have a journal (I use a private blogger account) that I can write out my super crazy thoughts in. When I start to obsess, I assign myself a certain amount of time to write (so it's limited) and then I make myself move on to other things. I find it pretty helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-time-staying-sane-whilst-waiting-for-treatment#post-1455229 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:05:11 +0000 derevival 1455229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been through it and unfortunately, I don't have any great advice. It really does help to find something to keep your mind occupied although I'm the type who easily obsesses. I think I just got to the point after awhile that I made a conscious decision to not let it take over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/passing-time-staying-sane-whilst-waiting-for-treatment#post-1455143 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:46:55 +0000 Snowdrop 1455143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TTC is all about waiting:</p> <p>Waiting to try,<br /> Waiting to O,<br /> Waiting to test,<br /> Waiting for AF....</p> <p>That is already hard enough, but how to cope when you have to wait several cycles for an appointment/ treatment?! I know there are quite a few of us waiting at the moment. I have three cycles of charting/testing before my next appointment to hopefully start something. Even DH has started to admit the waiting is hard!</p> <p>So, how do you cope? Have you been through it and have some advice to give us?</p> <p>....or do you just want to vent....? </p>
