Depressing

Is it normal for TTC to be one of the hardest things you've ever done? We're on our 8th month of trying and nothing. Living my life in 2 week increments is so hard, and I'm spiralling over everything, getting all the fertility tests I can. Is there a way for it to be easier? Saying to "just relax and let it happen...

2nd baby
