TTC- I'm so sad all the time. AIBU?

Anyone else feel similar?

We are TTC cycle #7 which I know isn't a long time for a lot of people but I'm currently feeling so "down". I wouldn't go as far as depressed, but just sad/apathetic/tired in general.
I never realised TTC would cause such mental torment or stress on one's emotional well-being. Or marriage for that matter.

It's absolutely heart-wrenching watching my friend announce pregnancies, sending me scan pictures, daily updates etc. Don't get me wrong, I am so delighted for them but my heart physically hurts and they don't even know.

We have been married 2 years and have finished building a house and everyone is sitting on the bench waiting on an announcement from us which isn't going to happen.

I have been tracking my BBT and my temps are up and down like a yo-yo all month, causing concern over a possible thyroid problem? Maybe I'm not ovulating at all?

I have had a few friends ask me if I'm ok lately because apparently I'm not myself. I know I'm not. And I lie and say I'm fine. I can't bring myself to tell friends or family we have been trying as I don't want false hope, or sympathy.

I work out 4/5 days a week and I honestly think if I didn't do that I would be going completely insane.

AIBU? Do I need to chill out and stop being so dramatic? Anyone else TTC feel completely deflated and hopeless ATM?

I can honestly say I have never felt as lonely in my entire life.

Thanks @SilveryMountainStream I had been looking into TCOYF earlier in the week and was interested! I've never heard of the sperm meets egg plan, I think I'll be buying that if this month doesn't work out for me.
I guess I'm just having one of those days full of obsessive thoughts and worry 😬
Also I'm sorry for your troubles 😂 the joys of being a farmers wife 🐑

How were your tests?

Thanks for asking @peachypetite I was wrong and my appointment is Friday 🙈 I'm an idiot! It's for the 21d progesterone test so they couldn't even take me today for handiness
