Support thread for anyone TTC and stuggling emotionaly💖

[whymewhyme]

Hi👋

I thought I'd make a thread for anyone, like myself who is TTC and it's emotionally taking it's toll. Feel free to moan, vent, share good news or just offload.

I'd like this space to he helpfull and supportive with zero judgment. 💕💕💕

11th attempt this month. I can already feel cramps, I'm irritable and bloating so I already know my periods coming. I'm feeling incredibly deflated. It's just me and my 3 year old since my partner needed to go into the office today. So I just sat on the bottom of the stairs while my son was playing with his cars (door open and only a few feet away, before people panic) and had a cry. Didn't want to alarm him but I needed to get it out of my system for a bit so I can at least TRY and be 'Mama' for the rest of the day.

My boyfriend keeps saying that I shouldn't take it so hard, but I don't think the partners really understand how lonely it feels, despite them being around. They don't have to calculate anything, track every little thing...

I'm only 28 (boyfriend is 29) I had no problem conceiving my son (3 months) yet now it's been almost a year. I've lost 20kg, and it's not enough. I've never smoked, I don't drink much and certainly don't do drugs - and it's not enough. I take folic acid, eat well, exercise and go to the gym - and it's not enough.

I'm so close to losing hope.
