I was not simply aware of the complexities related to pregnancy and never noticed pregnant women, until I wanted to conceive! Once I decided on to be pregnant, I began to see them everywhere and anywhere. And suddenly I used to get frustated whenever I saw someone pregnant or with a newborn. I really felt very badly for myself. I need to console myself that - It is still possible, It will be your turn, You will get your chance, have patience!

Yes, you, if you are facing infertility, can also write yourself a pretty card with such type of positive self-talk. Do keep it in your purse and try to read it when you feel most vulnerable thinking of your situation. Other than this, you can also listen to some uplifting music which can give you mental peace and take you to a place of strength!

But, never deny your sadness. Instead embrace it and try to gain strength from it. Because, this is not a situation, when you should ignore your feelings. Do notice them, embrace them, learn a lesson from them, but don't nurture the sadness.

Spending energy anticipating problems does not even serve you well. It will keep you up at night at the time when you should be sleeping. And this will affect your hormone levels, resulting you to getting in a place of negative anticipation and worry, which is not useful!

The point is that try to stay as positive and optimistic as possible. Tell yourself that you will just deal with the disappointments when they come along.
