Another tww. Anyone else feeling down/emotional?

So I'm 1dpo again today. I'm feeling awful tbh. Really depressed and down. I had a mmc in January and a chemical last month.
I started this cycle optimistic and eager but now the thought of another tww and symptom spotting etc is making me just want to curl up into a ball and hide away. I've been really snappy and tearful today. I know I'll be ok I just hate this part.
Just wanted a rant really and see if anyone else was feeling the same so we could support each other through this mine field

Yes, me. 7dpo. Just found out after 13 months ttc, 5 chemicals and one mc that i have basically been poisoning myself with folic acid: i have the mthfr gene mutation (very common). My body cannot process folic acid so it builds up and actually could be causing my ttc difficulties as well as a whole other set of health issues. Really frustrating because you try to follow all the nhs advice and it’s wrong! I need to take methylfolate not folic acid! Why did no one tell me this before? I have wasted a year I don’t have (39 in July ttc #1). Sorry, needed to vent and maybe this info might help someone else!

So sorry to hear of your miscarriage. It's such a horrible experience.
I think when you get to the tww that's it. There's nothing more you can do. We can distract ourselves in the lead up with opks and timings etc then it's out of our hands.
Are you trying for your first?

I'm so sorry you're feeling down @Everybodyfednobodydead I don't have any advice but I completely understand! The tww is shit. I'm currently 3dpo, we've been ttc since December and had mc at 9 weeks in March. I always feel really positive in the 2 weeks leading up to ovulation and then after that I feel really helpless and the wait seems endless!
