TTC Advice

[EllaA1990]

Hi ladies,

I have been ttc for 6 months now, I know this is not a long time compared to so many others, but I'm struggling so much in the week before my period. When I start my period I always feel relaxed, like it's a fresh month to start trying and then I am happy and optimistic during ovulation but then the week before my period comes and it gets me down so much.

I really have to stop myself from testing early but I'm so anxious about how sad I'm going to be to get a bfn again :( I have a few symptoms but they are similar to pms symptoms too so I have no way of telling them apart.

So many of my friends and people around me are getting pregnant and whilst I am genuinely so happy for them, it also really hurts as it's a reminder that it's not happening for us :(.

Any words of wisdom on how to cope during this time would be so appreciated <3

Thanks

No advice, just here to say I feel exactly the same :( I always feel okay up until the last week before period is due and then I just get really down waiting for it to come. It's so tough, I've tried not testing at all and that was almost worse. Now I'm limiting myself to one or two tests a month, right before my period to prepare myself if it's a negative.
