We've been trying to conceive for 2 years. We've had 2 miscarriages and its been really upsetting on so many levels. Recently lots of women around me are announcing pregnancies and I'm finding it really difficult. Any ideas on coping mechanisms that don't involve wine?

make other plans if you can. fill your life with other things you enjoy, hobbies, travel plans whatever it may be. i understand your pain, i have been through this, i am going through this now. keep busy and if you need to seperate yourself from pregnant others, either take yourself off social media for a while or distance yourself than they should understand. xxxx
I've had three miscarriages, I feel your pain.. It's so hard, but you know that saying fake it til you make it? It really works for me. I also believe in the abundance theory. It's a theory that makes a lot of sense. Your happiness and ability to have children isn't measured by another persons ability to have children and their happiness. There is not a capped amount of people who can be happy and have kids. I was very bitter and jealous and angry all the time over my miscarriages and I hated the person I was becoming. I got counselling for that and a few other issues and I am so much better off for it. I'm not saying you can't be sad, you definitely have every right to be sad and angry. But just get some perspective and find some inner peace. Good luck with your ttc journey, by the way have you tried acupuncture? Definitely recommend it! X
