Bloody sponsored adverts getting me down.

[ladydorito]

Just needed to vent really!

DH and I are TTC and I came on today. A bit down but it's only our first proper cycle of seriously trying and we've got a boozy weekend with friends in France this weekend that I would have struggled with if I'd got BFP this week so 👌

Oh bloody hell my fat thumbs! Anyway so I'm not too despondent.

I inputted my first day of cycle on Flo and what do you know? This afternoon all my ads are private IVF, turkey blasters, infertility conferences yadda yadda yadda.

AIBU to be seriously annoyed? I don't mind sponsored ads in general. If I'm going to be bombarded might as well be for stuff I'm interested in. But it's just made me feel a) a bit shit and paranoid that I should already be worrying about stuff like that and b) seriously weirded out that my data on starting my period has been used in this way.

Just a symptom of living in 2022 I guess but feel so weird about it! Anyone else had similar?

It's not easy at all, I understand. Though it's perfectly normal to feel the way you do. I feel it nearly every day (some days I'm distracted enough 😄) and it does get very depressing. If it's any consolation, I'm on my 4th cycle TTC and I've got tests on Thursday (yay, trip to London... 🙄) to check all is well. I wish I could say for certain that it get's easier but I just don't know as I haven't been trying for long enough. Obviously it can happen because everyone else seems to be getting BFPs or has given birth!

Are you charting at all? BBT and LH etc.

@SarahShorty Oh bless you, hope your tests go well - still v early days! Sending love. Xx

I tracked with OPKs this month because my cycle is all over the place but we've had a chat this morning and decided not to for this cycle - I have OCD and starting taking ovulation tests/pregnancy tests in a way that was becoming a little bit compulsive so I need to nip that in the bud - next month only going to test if I'm late! 🤞
