TTC - All rants welcome!

[poptartsandproblems]

Judgement free zone here Folks, Safe place to let it all go!

I'll start:

As if it isn't sad enough that it's yet another unsuccessful cycle to then have to put up with an extremely painful, heavy period over the next 7 days... Absolutely not fair

Seconding that. And hormones make you feel particularly shit about it, it’s even more upsetting than at any other time. I’ll add to the list:

1. It’s shit that so many AF symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are similar, so you can’t help but get your hopes up even though you’re trying really really hard not to

1. It’s shit that you don’t know whether/how long your career will be on hold. Do you apply for a promotion that you won’t want if you’re struggling with pregnancy/newborn/toddler

@poptartsandproblems, hope you’re now past the worst of it!

Mines is getting through a laparoscopy 11 months ago, getting an 8cm ovarian cyst removed, falling pregnant in August, miscarriage in October. Fast forward 6 months of ttc to go for an ultrasound 2.5 weeks ago then get told another ovarian cyst (4cm) has grown and it's likely causing me fertility issues 😭😭😭

I feel like life is on hold.

It's my 40th birthday this summer and I feel like I can't make plans with friends to go out partying etc as don't know if I'll be pregnant or not. If I'm not pregnant I'll be pissed off that I didn't arrange anything but if I do then guaranteed I'll be up the duff.

Also work...I hate my job, and want to move but if I move now and get pregnant I won't be entitled to SMP or it's not long enough to get stuck into anything so I'm sticking it out but am miserable.

I hate the limbo feeling.

I feel like I’m going mad; tracking and measuring everything to within an inch of its life, prenatals, BD to the SMEP with military precision and just not getting anywhere!!!
