Keeping positive when you get a negative

When your not trying for a baby it seems like all it takes is that one time to forget your contraception and bam your pregnant! When your trying and you've done all the right things on the right days you convince yourself that you must be. You feel nauseous, exhausted, your boobs are sore and your cramping. Your five days late on your period for Christ sake!

But what if its all in your head? What if that extra weight is well, extra weight? What if your test comes back negative?..You convince yourself its wrong of course! Maybe you tested too early? So you spend another £11 to see that negative all over again. Then the emptiness kicks in. You were sure this month was your month. You wonder how many more times you can actually go through this.

I feel grateful that I've already been blessed with pregnancy, and Rio. My OH knows people that tried for ten years before they conceived. People who have spent 30k trying. How do you keep hope for that long?

By staying positive that's how!!

Negativity is stress and stress can affect fertility. Just enjoy practising, because when I look at Rio I always think 'practice really does make perfect'.

We'd love another baby, id love to be pregnant again, complete our little family. But I'm just taking each day (or month in our case) as it comes. Because if I know anything, its that it will be more and worth the wait!
