Getting drunk alone following another failed Clomid cycle. AIBU?

DH and I have been TTC for three years. Today marks the failure of another Clomid cycle.
I'm currently sitting alone (DP is at work) getting drunk on prosecco that I didn't drink during my 2WW 'just in case', crying and researching adoption.
I know I shouldn't drink. I know there's always next month (although I've been saying that for three years.) But I feel so disappointed and angry and upset.
Someone please give me some hope.

Yanbu. As someone who tried for a while to conceive DC 2 after a miscarriage I know what's is like to put life on hold every month in the hope that this is the month.
I say enjoy your Prosecco and start afresh tomorrow! Hugs

Enjoy your prosecco and don't feel bad about it

Yanbu! Go on and enjoy your Prosecco, let it all out. Be kind to yourself, you have every right to feel this way.

YANBU . It's a draining, rollercoaster process to go through. Enjoy the prosecco & sunshine and fingers crossed for you for future.

I've no idea what it's like to go through that but I wanted to send you some ThanksWineand to implore you not to bear yourself up. Xxx

Sorry to hear this. It took me 3 years to conceive DD and it was just so so hard. I used to cry every month, cry in the work loos as there was always someone pregnant.

Enjoy your wine (I'm going to have a glass soon too) and cheers to you Wine

YANBU. Infertility is fucking soul destroying. I spent three years ttc and had to use egg donation in the end as my ovaries are those of a woman twice my age.

Flowers op. It is just totally shit.

Thanks everyone. Your empathy has made me well up again!

Enjoy your prosecco.... it seems hard now but it can work... I did years of Clomid, a failed IUI, 2 operations to straighten out my tubes and have a scrape (lovely) and now have 2 daughters. I conceived both times when we had given up hope and went away and got drunk for a weekend... for DD1 the hotel thought someone had fraudulently added their drinks to our bill because they didn't think two people could drink so much rum....

whattimeislove · 26/07/2018 18:12

YANBU- I'm so sorry op. Drink the prosecco, eat chocolate & blue cheese & pate.

I hope next month brings better news

I spent 4 years ttc, had two miscarriages, but finally got pregnant with my DD after almost a year on Clomid. It was such a hard time, I really feel for you. My DD is now 23, and my pride and joy. Enjoy your wine, and don’t give up hope. I hope you have better news next month

My heart goes out to you op Flowers you have that prosecco and you never know what’s around the corner. Sending you big hugs and positive vibes xxx

Deadheadstickeronacadillac · 26/07/2018 19:03

Enjoy the Prosecco, don't get too disheartened it can happen!
5 years to conceive ds1, another 11 years ds2 rocks up and more than 12 miscarriages in all that time.
Bloody painful and soul destroying at times, but I forced myself to stop thinking about it.
