Bfn really getting me down

I'm on cycle 5 now and I feel like I'm getting more and more disheartened as the months go on. I know 5 months isn't long but it feels it to me. Just in the last few days I've found out a cousin, a friend and a colleague are all pregnant and I cant help but feel so jealous and upset that I still haven't had my bfp. It's awful of me, I know but I really cant help it. Just felt like I needed to write it down as I dont really have anyone to talk to, dh doesn't seem to understand and just keeps telling me it will happen when it happens.

@charlie0692 it's not awful of you at all, it's completely normal to feel like that. I started to feel disheartened around the 5 month mark too (I'm now on cycle 11). It does feel like everyone around you is falling pregnant at the drop of a hat.

Just remember, you always feel your lowest during the first week of your cycle, but it's a fresh cycle and this one could be the one Smile 🤞🏼

@charlie0692 I know exactly how you feel. I've just started AF so on to cycle 5 and I feel so down in the dumps. I know I'll feel better in a few days but it's still shit. Especially as DH is desperate for a baby and going to be as upset as me. I just keep thinking this time next month we could have our positives and that's keeping me going Xx

Same here. Just onto cycle 5. Trying to keep positive as I know stressing just makes my OH stressed as well because he’s convinced there’s something wrong with him. Really thought we’d have a little one on the way next year but hope is fading a bit. Going to try and not worry until next June when we’ll have been trying for a year and then will just have to take things from there if we need to. Also my OH is older than me and he says he doesn’t want to be an old dad so hoping it doesn’t go on too long that he decides he’s too old (he’s only 41 which isn’t really that old!)

Same here as well. Cycle 5 and AF due in 2 days and I can feel it coming so just know it's onto cycle 6....
I know it can take a while and I'm trying to keep positive but it just gets worse as the months go on. Was hoping for a spring or summer baby and that is fading, but now I don't even care about that, just hoping it actually does happen!

Horrible isn't it, I'm on cd14 but not hopeful for this month either, not had much time for dtd as both been unwell over the past week 😔 fingers crossed for next month ay xx
