So basically I’m just going to put it straight out there me and my partner have being trying to convince for months now and I’m getting really really sick of all my friends getting pregnant and then there is me! The only time I’ve managed to get pregnant I’ve lost it! I blame myself for that and it’s so annoying that it’s ended up this way! I’m getting so frustrated and emotional all the time, I’ve just found out tonight that another one of my friends is pregnant! I don’t think I can do this anymore, I’m just not having any hope left at the moment xx

@iswhois
I know it’s so frustrating! Me and my partner have been trying since March, but since not getting positive pregnancy tests it makes it easier not to test in the TWW as that’s what I feel like is going to happen! X

Same here too. 8 months in, I'm starting to have friends give birth who stated ttc around the same time as me. I'm not even pregnant yet. I think I've used about 10 cheapies this month. None as positive and staring at them doesn't seem to encourage a line to appear 😂

I’ve been trying since January this year and the year has flown by, each month revolves around trying to conceive and I definitely don’t want to waste next year as I have this year.

I spent most of this year upto my eyes in opk tests and pregnancy tests.

I think it’s time we put ourselves first and conception second. Let’s enjoy our lives for what they are and live them as if each day is our last on earth x

Why do you blame yourself for your miscarriage?

Want for other what you want for yourself is something I try and live by. I know it’s easier said than done but it will make you feel better within yourself if you send out positive vibes x

TTC is a lonely place, maybe your friends have had a journey that you don't know about?

Chica1990 · 02/11/2020 05:15

Same. TTC is a desperate, sad and lonely place.
It doesn’t feel fair and feels more frustrating when
it looks like people are having an easy time of it.

Please don’t blame yourself for anything that’s happened. Unfortunately miscarriages are common and even happen when people do their very best to prevent them.

Are you tracking ovulation using temping or the opks?

I feel the same way. It's rubbish and feels like pregnant people are everywhere, making it look so easy as well.

TTC is exhausting and upsetting. I hate it. SadSad
