I am really struggling, just feel lost and alone right now. DP tries his best to understand but I've had so many issues with my hormones and health recently and he is fighting a custody battle that I feel I can't talk to him and when I do he is unsure of what to say.

I'm currently mid meltdown, bawling my eyes out because AF arrived. We have only been casually trying for a few months but I'm absolutely devastated this month.
Could really do with some way of venting my feelings and was hoping for some suggestions.

I work from home and don't really have any friends and don't feel I can talk to my family about all my worries about my health and fertility without them adding to the pressure of it all

Can you afford a few sessions of therapy? When you are feeling isolated, a trained sympathetic ear can be really helpful.
Isolation is very debilitating. Right this minute might not be the time to make plans, but you really do need to get out and engage: craft group, exercise , singing, it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s different to what you are doing every day. Your poor brain needs a break. Be kind to yourself.

Thank you for your very kind words

Do you have reason to be concerned, because it does generally take time to fall pregnant? Not meaning to be harsh, I just wondered if you are worrying over nothing iyswim.

I am probably worrying over absolutely nothing, just had over 12 months of insane symptoms which led me to stop my birth control earlier this year as GP just kept switching it. We took this opportunity to TTC but have had a few months of not really trying and then this month was the first of really trying and I think I'd just got my hopes up. Also had a tough few months with DPs court case regarding his DC so that's probably not helped.

Always happy for you to DM me for a chat!

Sounds like you are having a stressful time which doesn’t help with ttc but honestly it does take time. From what you’ve said no reason to think you won’t be pregnant soon.
