Hi,
im feeling very fed up and deflated and bitter.
I have PCOS & suspected endometriosis with severe symptoms- im basically infertile as no matter what ,me and my partner just cannot conceive. Yes I have irregular periods but TMI we do it every day or every other day so it would happen in a short timeframe if an egg was being released. I have come on here to rant because I’m fed up. The main thing bothering me is that ive got to a point where I no longer look forward to or enjoy sex because theres no point- nothings going to happen. I am never ever going to get pregnant ever. All I wanted was to be a mum but it’s never going to happen. I feel like I’m a terrible person who would be a crap mum or like im not meant to be a mum and this is the world punishing me for my issues in life and all the trauma I gone through. I need advice- i dont even desire sex anymore because nothings ever going to happen. How do I stay close to my partner? Any words or advice ? Thank you, feeling crap

You need to go to counselling. there’s a lot more to life than having babies and children. What does your partner say about the situation? People have sex all the time without wanting to make a baby. What is your job? Perhaps you should invest some effort into developing your career and looking after your relationship and build a future together. Once you are feeling better about yourself you could think about fostering or adopting. You aren’t being punished and you would probably be a very good mother but you need help to see that you could get over this and have a very good life.
