Feeling a little sad…

Hello,
I hope everyone’s had a lovely Christmas and wishing you all the very best for the New Year. Sending lots of luck for the mummies to be and for those ttc.

Ive been feeling abit sad today and I’m not sure why. I think it has just hit me today how much I want a child. I got my AF today in cycle 1 so on to cycle 2 now. I know that’s so early and some people have been trying for so much longer and I know it could take me a while yet. I don’t feel sad that I got AF as I was expecting it. It’s just I knew I wanted a child but today it’s hit me how much I really want to be a mum and I’m feeling a little overwhelmed.

Maybe it’s the time of year and being around alot of children in the family or just hormones due to AF.

Not really looking for advice I guess I just needed a place to write out my feelings and if anyone else is feeling a little down then here’s a place a talk it through Flowers

Thanks for sharing Flowers. I feel very similar to you. This will be our first cycle and I’m equally excited & terrified. I know I will take every negative badly so trying to mentally prepare myself. The yearn for this to work out is scary.

Hi both

Thanks for sharing @Newbiemg - I'm sorry to hear how you're feeling and I can only hope next month it happens for you.

I'm the same as you both thought just in my first cycle and waiting to try for the first time but it's nerve wracking and has made me feel how much I want it and I am ready for it. I think I will be the same as you both and be sad even though I know it can take a long time.

Happy to meet you both and keep each other positive as we continue on our TTC journey 😁

Good luck to you too @LittleWins - this is our first cycle too and I'm excited and nervous.

xx

Hello @newbiemg, sorry to hear you are feeling deflated today. I can relate with you as I am just finishing AF and moving onto cycle 2 TTC baby #2 and was a little disheartened that it didn't happen right away.
With my son, I fell pregnant 2nd Cycle and remember feeling let down 1st cycle then too.
It's completely normal to feel how you are and if anything it's just confirmed that your making the right choice ttc and it's something that you really want. Making the choice to ttc can be uncertain at first and things like this give you the clarity to persue it with more passion ❤️
Sending baby dust your way!

Hi all I'm the exact same. Sorry to hear about how you're feeling. First cycle trying and AF arrived properly today. It is so hard not to obsess.

Hi! I'm sorry you're feeling down. But you're not alone, I feel completely the same. We are on cycle 5 ttc our first and it hurts more each time there's no pink line. Even though I know 5 cycles is still early I feel like everyone around me is pregnant and having babies and we're still trying with no luck.

Thanks for starting this post! I'm sad too. Thanks everyone for sharing.

We are ttc our first, had a miscarriage at 8 weeks in Oct so even though we are only on our second cycle post miscarriage I feel like we have been on this journey since we conceived the first time and still no further forward.

This tww has been a nightmare. I have had every symptom under the sun, I feel like my whole body is trolling me but BFN on the frers :( then I give myself hope thinking ohh it was just to early - Eugh. I'm going mad. I am going to try my best to never test early again.

Sending positive thoughts to all! Feels like a really lonely journey.

Hello All!

Thank you all for sharing Flowers

Sorry to hear you are all struggling with your journeys too but it’s kind of nice that we can help each other through and not feel alone. Makes me feel better that everyone is so supportive.

I’m sending you all so much luck and baby dust. Let’s hope for bfp for us all in 2022 Smile

So sorry for your loss ❤ I had to stop testing too, and I stopped tracking everything this month as well as I was getting really anxious and obsessive with it all. Decided this month no tests no tracking just lots of dtd and see what happens. Fingers crossed for you 🤞💕
