Feeling Down

Having a bad day today. Just feeling very down and wishing it was my turn. Yet another person I know is pregnant and not helped by the imminent arrival of AF (started spotting today). After mc, had a usual 34 day cycle, this month have gone to 50 days. It wouldn't be so bad if my cycles were short, but it will take ages before I can try again. Also hard to plan IYKWIM. Sorry for the whine, just wanted to get it off my chest.

Bluestar, thats what we're here for. Don't have any good advice to offer, but am happy to listen. Your turn will come sweetheart{{{{{H{}}}}}}} coming your way.

Sorry to hear you are so sad, bluestar. Do you have any kids already?

bluestar · 25/09/2003 15:36

Yes have a ds aged 2. Currently know about 10 people that are expecting, some due around the time I would have been. AF usually makes me feel a bit low. Have been trying for #2 for nearly a year now, cycles all over the place and then a mc. It was so easy the first time. Thanks for being there. I know we all feel like this at times.

I am ever grateful that I have become pregnant quite easily all three times. I can only imagine your feelings at the moment. If at all possible, I think you should try and focus on other things, and do your best not to think about it. If you are less stressed about it, you are more likely to conceive.

Bluestar - So sorry you feel awful. No advice, but thinking of you.

Hello bluestar. Sorry to hear you're feeling down. How well do I understand your feelings at seeing other people around your pregnant and having babies. It hapenned to me - and several of them were due about the time I had been. I had a really low time about 2-3 months after my m/c, just when I wasn't expecting it (thought I should be getting better by then etc. etc.). I can't offer you any advice, just to say that your feelings are totally normal and understandable (well, at least I felt exactly the same).

Your cycles do sound a bit over the place - would it be worth seeing your doctor? Mine certainly went haywire for a few months after my m/c if that's any consolation, but at least they weren't as long as yours.

Have seen doctor just prior to conceiving before mc. Said that if I have irregular cycles, will always continue to do so to some extent. Did go through the next options but then I conceived so can get pg so less of an urgency to proceed on that front. Gingernut (funny just eaten some of those!) I agree about the low point, Had loads of support on this board at the time, then felt ok, and am fine generally, apart from the announcements which just keep coming. Obviously don't begrudge them as I want OUR baby not theirs. I know in a few days I will be fine again and looking to the future, just hit these low points from time to time. Helps to know that other people can understand how you feel.
