I've always been a person who worried a lot....about everything. In general, I worry about work, home, friends, family, etc. I've excepted that it is just part of who I am. Now the problem is, since this whole infertility thing, the worrying is getting worse. Most of the time I worry about the financial aspects of Infertility. I listen to everyone's stories of how many times they have done IUI's and IVF's and I worry that, if the time comes, we won't be able to afford to do everything that we need to do to have a baby. Sorry if I sound like I'm whining but these are just the thoughts that have been going through my head the last couple of days and so I needed to let them out so I can let them go.
Thanks for listening!

I hear you - I am a worrier too. I only did 2 IUIs to get pregnant so in the big scheme of things my journey was easy but I worried about IVF, I worried about adoption, I worried about all the what ifs all the way down the road that thankfully we never had to travel. That's what I do though - I prepare myself for the worst case scenario. The only advice I can give is try not to add to the worrying by beating yourself up about worrying. You have every right to feel everything you are feeling right now and be thinking everything you are thinking! I could say try to take one step at a time but I never managed it so I won't. I also find writing to get things out of my head helps so any time you want to offload - I'm here. And don't worry that the worrying will prevent you from getting pregnant either - that was one of mine and people say the relax thing all the time but the truth is I was at my MOST stressed and anxious during the second IUI cycle when I got my first ever BFP so I know it's not true. Just keep venting and letting it out. Hang in there x
