To ask for a handhold? Heading for a mental breakdown depending on tomorrow

Probably not the right section for this but with the traffic AIBU gets, here I am!

I'd like to ask for a handhold, some group support, a chat etc... As I prepare for my hospital appointment tomorrow.

I have been struggling with fertility issues for a while now and I am currently pregnant. Tomorrow is the scan where I find out if this is viable or not (I've had quite a few previously where I've been told they aren't and had to have D&C's or surgery etc...).

It's all taking its toll now and it's taking all my strength to go in that room willingly tomorrow and not being dragged kicking and screaming. I hate being there, I hate watching people coming out before me all happy and going over to the machine to pay for their scan photos, I hate the look on the nurses faces as soon as they can see on the screen and their 'im very sorry' voices when they tell me again, I hate being walked out and put in the 'quiet room' and seeing everyone's sympathetic faces in the waiting room because they know why.

I am seriously concerned about how I will be tomorrow if it's the same news. I am so so so fed up. I feel like I'm heading for some sort of breakdown but I can't bring myself to give up either.

I don't want to worry DH too much (although he does know how I'm feeling), so can I trouble you all for some support/conversation please? I feel so jittery and restless waiting for tomorrow.

It is crap when you are going through all this, you spend half your life looking at the calendar, jumping through hoops doing ovulation tests, having sex when it is the "right time" & not just when you feel like it. You don't want to plan anything in case you are pregnant, but dread the thought that you might not be. Add in the chromosome problems as well & I can only imagine the mess your head is in, yet everyone expects that you can carry on as normal. Have you got an IAPT worker at your GP surgery? You can self refer to them or google IAPT service for your local area or any of the charities for miscarriage & still birth, they often have someone on the end of the phone who is there to listen.

Parkandride · 03/02/2020 14:54

YES!! So pleased for you.

You kindly responded to my first page comment about my own fertility appointment - mine is actually PGD so when you mentioned a BT I was going to suggest that, but you don't need that now!

Hope the next steps are smooth and uneventful Flowers
