Anyone else finding it just a teeny bit tough? Came off my pill 15 months ago and was fully expecting to at least be pregnant by now. Sending love and hope to others who are also struggling today x

@Anon9899 same here, I had a suggestion from a fertility website to delete social media for the day. I have just deleted the apps from my phone and I do think it is helping. I don't have a good relationship with my own mum so have never really celebrated it with her but it's helping not having to see all my friends celebrating it. Having a day in with the dogs so I can ignore it all until the world goes back to normal tomorrow.
It's tough but you are not alone, big hugs and fingers crossed we will both be celebrating it next year x

Yup. I’ve not been trying that long so I’m fortunate in that respect but I stupidly took a test this morning and it was of course a BFN.
Going to take a break from social media I think and have a glass of Prosecco with my mum later.

I hear you. I had a miscarriage last month and today has hit me quite hard. Unfortunately we are in the middle of a house renovation and I am behind with my work so I am sitting in Pret on my laptop having the odd tearful moment (I wish I was still in bed and hiding from the world).
Thank you all for sharing, knowing I am not alone is really helpful.
Wishing you baby dust.

@TheFanciestPants I had two before this current pregnancy.
Just wanted to acknowledge your pain and say I understand how unfair this day must feel. I promise it gets better and never stop believing that you'll hold your 🌈

@Loveyoutomatoes thank you so much for your super kind message. I had a little cry when I read it (not so unusual today!). I am definitely going to keep on trucking.
@Anon9899 - thanks for making the thread and for helping with a difficult day. I will keep my fingers crossed for you and that babydust comes all our way soon

@TheFanciestPants @Loveyoutomatoes I miscarried in Sept, my due date would have been beginning of April so I'm really struggling, DP kept asking what was wrong as I was quiet but we were out with his parents so I didn't want to say anything, and I wasn't sure whether I wbu to feel that way! Sorry to hear about both of yours.
@Anon9899 sending hugs.

@Matildahoney I am sorry for your loss, it's so hard. It sounds like you are very brave and in my opinion not unreasonable at all! My husband had no clue why I was upset either, but when i finally caved and explained he was very sympathetic, he just had no idea.
@Loveyoutomatoes I am so sorry for your losses and wish you all the best for your wonderful rainbow baby.
