Waiting is like torture

[Positive2022]

Is it me or is waiting for phone calls / results / appointments like torture? Feels like it's so very hard and I hate bugging people when they're so busy. Wish my mind could switch off for 2 mins at least. Humph xxx

totally agree it has been constant back and forth x

[Positive2022 in reply to lauren3189]

Feels like it's constant waiting all the time. Drives me mad! Trying so hard to keep busy but it's not that easy at times. Hope all is going ok for you xxx

Yes, totally agree! There's so much waiting around it's hard to focus on anything else xxx

[TTCs]

The waiting is the worst bit of this whole thing 🙈

[Positive2022 in reply to TTCs]

Completely agree, it's so hard isn't it!?! Struggling to focus on anything except my phone ringing !!

[TTCs in reply to Positive2022]

Totally!!!! Even a good series is hard to commit too, still get distracted x

[Positive2022 in reply to TTCs]

Ha! Me too!! Hubby and I going away for the weekend so we're hoping that will help me stop thinking about things for 2 days. I'm not sure I can !!

I think all can relate to the relentless waiting that infertility is.

It is frustrating- I used to wish my life away with wanting to get from appointment to appointment.

I try to accept waits and things are part of this journey and by stressing out doesn't make it any quicker! But then I've been TTC 6.5 years and one miscarriage last year.

My best advice is to take this journey one day at a time and try not to look too much into the future. The future will take care of itself it's here and now that matters.

Do things for you and do things together as a couple- that gets over looked in this battle. Go away to together for a break. sometimes we need get away from it and re charge the batteries😁

Everyone here will understand this- rant away it's a difficult journey xoxo

[Positive2022 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks lovely. I'm so sorry to hear you've had such a difficult time and i'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I hope you are doing ok. It's a very difficult journey and doesn't seem to get any easier. Hubby and I taking a break this weekend, only for 2 nights but it's away from the kitchen sink and hotel has a spa so we're hoping to do a bit of relaxing. Wishing you every success with your journey xxx

[Hidden in reply to Positive2022]

Thank you - I’m doing better lovely. 😊 I’m awaiting surgery date ( endo symptoms back) till we start trying again. With the cancellations I reckon I will waiting sometime! But we have our holiday to look for next month 😘

A break will do you good- a spa weekend sounds lush 😘 just the ticket.

It is a hard journey and has such highs and lows, but coming on here makes you know you are never alone 😃

We have think happier times lie ahead.

Have a lovely weekend xoxo

[Positive2022 in reply to Hidden]

Yes you're so right. The support on here is truly overwhelming, it can be hard to know where and who to turn to sometimes. I do hope you don't have to wait too long for your surgey and that you have a great holiday and a good chance to switch off. I heard a saying the other day... 'it's not a case of if, it's a case of when'. This has stuck with me and helps me feel more positive xxx

For me, the waiting is the worst thing about treatment as it’s the unknown, it gave me awful anxiety. After 2 rounds that settled down but I ended up off work at one point I was so anxious! We are all so strong to go through what we go through. Lots of love xxx

[Dunla]

Yes if there was an off switch in there it would be great 😉 Waiting for results before and during IVF is nerve wracking x

[Positive2022 in reply to Dunla]

An off switch would be perfect wouldn't it. It's just sk stressful at times isn't it. Hope all is going ok for you xxx
