AIBU to be sad about period

[girl78]

I’m 31, single, no children but desperately want a baby.

Every month when I get my period, I cry becuase I’m not pregnant. It’s not a shock as I’m not TTC as I’m single and not currently sexually active but I just get so sad about it. Having children is always on my mind but it just becomes more apparent every month that I’m not going to have children in the future, or ever.

I understand I’m not in a position to have children and I shouldn’t be sad, but I just get a huge sense of disappointment and sadness every month.

Is this normal? Has anyone else ever felt this way?

I used to feel the same but it all worked out in the end. 31 is still reproductively young, you have plenty of time to have children. Don’t give up hope and start dating!

Thank you. I’ve been dating for a while but not having much luck x
