Feeling defeated

Hi all, I don’t know what I am looking for here except maybe to vent. My partner and I have been ttc for 7 months now. My cycle was 29-36 days and I’m fairly certain I had anovulation cycles. Anyway, now it’s been 50 days since I’ve had aunt flow and I am just so upset. Everyone I know seems to be falling pregnant at the drop of a hat. I have to book a scan but I need to book it first day of period which just seems to be never coming. I’m seeing specialist next Tuesday. I don’t know what I’m looking for. Sorry I just feel so defeated and exhausted.

Hello, sorry you are going through this. I understand the struggle completely. My situation is a little different to yours. I’ve been pregnant 7 times but have only one living child. Since having my son I’ve had four early losses in a year. Its been truely heart breaking. I started fertility testing after the third one and it took 52 days for my cycle to return and I was able to start testing (scan and bloods). Some things that have helped me is remembering it takes most healthy couples a year to fall pregnant. I avoid social media because of all the pregnancy announcements. And I’m honest with my friends about how much I’m struggling so they are more thoughtful about how they break their news to me etc. I understand the exhaustion, it can take over your thoughts and your life. Try to focus on things that make you happy. Hang in there xx

Thank you so much for your reply. I think hearing last night my step daughters mum was pregnant just broke something inside of me and I cried for hours. It was good to release all the built up emotions from over the months. I am sorry you are experiencing your own turmoil with this. Sending love

I get you. It's tough. I've been TTC for 6 months and only just found out a few weeks ago I'm not actually ovulating. All this wasted time and energy and OPKs for nothing. Now I need to try letrozole and trigger shots. Meanwhile everyone around me is announcing their pregnancies and having baby showers. I know it's exhausting but hang in there. The specialists will get you to where you need to be. You're on the home stretch now 💜

Thanks Leanne! I have the specialist on Tuesday to trial letrozole. Worried because it doesn’t even feel like my period is coming any day soon :( Thank you, we will get there!!

I'm hearing all you ladies. It's exhausting, frustrating and heart breaking. I have just done my first round of letrazole and hcg trigger shot, my never late period, is not here and no symptoms of it comming. I've had both neg and pos tests, now waiting blood results. Had light pink spotting yesterday morning and lunch today. ( way to late for implantation bleeding) so confused right now.
