Feeling down about ttc

Just fed up really. Been ttc for 9 months now and it's that old familiar feeling of disappointment and jealousy creeping back in.

I knew it could take a while (this would be my third and I'm 37) but I'd felt quietly confident and now AF is here again and it feels like everyone around me is pregnant or having babies.

Anyone else in the same boat?

I completely feel you. We have been TTC #2 since Christmas. It took almost 3 years to conceive #1 due to PCOS, and typically, my cycles were perfect for the first time after #1 but since Christmas have been very erratic... I'm currently day 38 and no BFP and no sign of AF! I too had been quietly confident we would conceive with less issues than last time due to an accidental pregnancy that resulted in an early miscarriage last year. I had forgotten how hard I was on myself during TTC last time, and I am rather full of self loathing at the moment. It's so hard not to stress about it, or be disappointed. So no words of wisdom but you're not alone! I hope you get a BFP soon Flowers

I know what you mean too. Hope it happens for you on your next cycle Flowers

I know what you mean @LatteLover12. I'm only on cycle 2 of TTC and already feeling quite down about it. I am 39 and have got pregnant very easily in the past. I was feeling confident to start with but I'm losing it. It just feels like it will never happen for us (this would be first with new DP).

Sorry to hear about your daughter @AliceRR, that's very sad. I hope you are okay.

I’m sorry you’re feeling down and it hasn’t happened to you yet

This is my second cycle TTC #2 after my first baby daughter was stillborn at full term in February

There are a few supportive groups on here. I’m in one 35+ TTC#1 (as hopefully my next baby will be my first living child) and one for TTC after pregnancy loss
