TTC #1 - third cycle and already struggling emotionally

Hello!

Okay so with a little more background so I don't sound like a crazy person!

2 years ago myself and my ex partner started ttc. Within 2 cycles I fell pregnant (although I didn't actually find out until 7 weeks as I have very irregular periods). sadly I miscarried at 13 weeks and am no longer with this partner.

Fast forward a year and a half and have now made the decision with my current partner. Started ttc end of April and have since had my second AF arrive yesterday. I'm finding it so much harder this time round and can't help but feel so emotional. I know it's a long process for anyone and I should be prepared for it to possibly be even longer for myself but I just can't seem to keep spirits up.

I'm hoping that talking to others and helping you all will help me stay positive and less of a crazy woman with each AF that arrives 🙈.

Thanks guys x

Hi @Madaleinerw :)

I was chatting to you on one of the other threads...little update...my AF arrived today so we are in the same boat. Even though I felt a few cramps over the last few days I couldn't help but be a bit in denial but today has definitely confirmed that its not happened again this month. This was our 6th cycle so I can completely sympathise with you and your frustrations. I am finding it so hard to even imagine getting that positive on the stick...literally cannot imagine it!

@Rosieposy89 we have been TTC since January so the same amount of time as you.

Lets try and keep ourselves positive - we are just starting a fresh new month and this could be our month...if not we are one month closer to seeing out BFP whenever it comes :)

@Rosieposy89 thank you for replying :). It is so hard isn't it. I am quite good at keeping busy but that day AF arrives I am just so negative and emotional :(.

A year seems like a really long time! Hopefully it won't take us that long!

Hey, I can fully understand the struggle emotionally. We have been TTC since January without a hint of a BFP and its so hard every time AF arrives. I'm trying to carry on life as normal, booking holidays etc as I am not putting my life on hold and reminding myself it's normal to take a year. Big hugs, you're not alone x
