TTC and childless is shit

I am drained, TTC is shit. Absolutely shit.

I never thought it would get like this. Pissing on OPK sticks waiting for smiley faces it's just bullshit.

I kinda wish now I'd have got pregnant by accident unexpectedly.

I have also had losses so it's dragged the process out and I just cannot be bothered anymore. It's draining and boring.

Not sure the reason for posting I guess just saying to anyone in a similar situation you're not alone.

It's even worse when all your friends have kids, so I'm lonely in that activities have to be 'child friendly' or never an evening out with cocktails sophisticated because they can't due to their kids so I end up feeling isolated and lonely and bored.

Just feel like my life is in limbo, nothing really happening - no life changes just same old bs.

I cling to my DH the only person lately I seem compatible with, and enjoy company.

I guess I'm just fed up today.

Hi OP,

I am fed up today as well. I am sorry I don't have anything helpful to say, I just wanted to share that things are shit for me too.

Not really sure why I am posting this, but oh well.

We will find a way to get out of the shit I guess.

We knew that going through fertility treatment was going to do our mental health any good at all so decided to look into adoption. Best thing we ever did. Not straight forward by any means but so so rewarding.

Just adding another handhold. I've just miscarried my IVF pregnancy. It's a sadness and grief that can't be understood by those who've easily had as many children as they wanted.

Can I ask how long have you been ttc for?
I’ve been their one hour position for many many years and watched all My friends and family have babies one friend is on number 5!

Ladyraven0483 · 26/08/2021 18:49

In your position *

@Ladyraven0483 started trying in august 2019. Suffered two losses since that time and have had a medical condition to get under control as it causes miscarriage so I still count that time as TTC as couldn't conceive whilst being monitored.
