Fuck you TTC

Today should be day one of my period. No sign. We've been ttc dc2 since summer 2018. I don't have any tests in the house. I'm trying not to symptom spot, I haven't told anyone in real life that we're trying.
Our son is almost 4. I'm desperate to give him a sibling. I adore him. He's amazing.

But I am aching to have another baby. People keep asking when we're going to and we just laugh off the questions. They hurt. Every one of them hurts. I suppose I'm just looking for people who understand.

Every single thread I look at in relation to this ends up full of BFPs and I'm just not in the space where I can read those and not feel devastated.

So Fuck you to TTC.
Fuck you to months off slightly delayed periods
Fuck you to every fucker that asks me every time they see me if I have any news
Fuck you to the whole fucking lot of it.

Anyone care to add theirs?

@PurpleDaisies I don't know which is worse. Telling people and listening to that shite or not telling people and having them suggest you think about another one for ds' sakeHmm

Fuck you to all of them.

Fuck you “have you considered adoption”?

No. It’s been ten fucking years but the thought has never crossed my mind. What is this magical “adoption” you speak of?

Fuck you second cousin of Jimmy’s aunt who got pregnant after forty years of trying by...
A) starting the adoption process
B) COMPLETELY relaxing
C) taking Chinese herbs
D) eating a load of prawn cocktail flavoured crisps
E) COMPLETELY eliminating prawn cocktail flavoured crisps from their diet
etc etc etc....

Oh yeah big time.... We are trying for our first for about 2. 5 years now and all you can hear is: it will happen, don't worry, relax.....the worst one: maybe you're just not meant to be a mom.... So yeah fuck you TTC! Fuck you big time!
Now this made me feel slightly better.

@Nat4392 I can't face the questions so it's easier to let them all think I don't want anymore.

Fuck you to all the people who point out that it'd be lovely for ds to have a sibling. I forgot that one🤦🏻‍♀️

Unfortunately most people I know, know we’re TTC.
Fuck you who say “just relax and it will happen”
