Positive words of encouragement: feeling very down :(

[MummyMilla]

AF has arrived today. Started TTC for number 3 in Feb and I'm really beginning to feel the strain.

We put off trying for number 3 as DS2 has got additional needs and tbh, life can be quite full on with him. He's just turned 6 and I'm now worried we've left it too late (I'm 38.5). Eldest is 8.

I know we're so lucky to have two brilliant boys. Just feeling very down today and really hating my body...feeling fat and useless. Also cross with myself for putting off TTC for so long.

Don't blame yourself - it sounds like you made a sensible and reasoned decision in waiting. It is still early days... try to believe that everything happens for a reason.
I don't have any advice but hope it all goes okay for you xx

I can empathise as was in your position a few months ago. We had been trying for 7 months and everyone said it was still early etc but it completely doesn't feel like that on a month by month basis. Turns out they were right (we conceived later that same month). Don't beat yourself up for feeling down about it, it's very hard not to. You'll get there 😊😊

You sound like me, feel really fed up too ☹️

@MummyMilla hey, sorry to hear you’re feeling down, it gets to the best of us.
Have you tried doing SMEP? Come over to our thread, there’s a few of us going through it and all the ladies are very lovely and supportive.

Good luck x
