feeling really down tonight

[tyler85]

Hi Ladies,

I have been ttc for 2 1/2 years now- I am usually quite upbeat, but I am feeling really down today. My DH is away at the minute and I guess I am just feeling a bit lonely and sorry for myself. I have been crying quite a lot today- especially at the park with my dog, seeing all the families. Anyway I am guessing I am just looking for a virtual hug!

Thank you x

I love my dog- I don't know what I would do without her! My OH is in the states for work.

I hope I feel better tomorrow- I know I am being silly. I am waiting for an appointment for a colposcopy which is also getting me down.

you are not being silly at all, it can feel quite harsh when as a woman you have the natural urge to be a mother and nature takes its time about granting you such a seemingly natural thing. it is really really hard, especially when you are almost tortured daily as it feels like everyone and their dog (lol) has a baby or family.
i feel like it too, and i bet 90% of the women on here feel like that too from time to time. having your OH not there sucks too!
put your fave cd on, or watch some funny clips on youtube, or just have a good cry and let it out!!

give your pup a good squeeze
that doesnt sound like much fun, hope it goes well!

That is why I like this forum- everyone is so nice and we can all relate to each other. I am indeed giving my pup many many hugs and am going to put on a rom com and eat some sweets with a glass of wine!

sounds good! yes everyone is so lovely on here, i find it so so helpful on here in times of upset!

i just found the most hilarious posts, it said about what ridiculous and funny things we have all done in the process of TTC, it was so funny have you read it??
Mine was pee all over myself and toilet seat taking countless OPKS and preg tests, handstanding after sex to make the sperm get to the destination better lol!! sexy! lol.
have a read, itll cheer you up! some women have done some funny stuff x

 

[tyler85]

Sounds funny- I will have a look.

 

[clucas1988]

do, someone also said about getting AF and still thinking you might still possibly be pregnant thru some weird one off chance, i think that too! it just made me smile, all us ladies are in same boat.

goodluck and stay positive! hope i helped a tiny bit x

We will all get there!
I can totally understand how hopeless it feels at times.
In my heart though I know we will have out little one some day.

Don't give up love!

BIG BIG BIG VIRTUAL HUG TO YOU!!!



You are not being silly for feeling down. Although, I am sorry you are feeling that way today. TTC is one huge emotional rollercoaster.....but you can't have the downs without the highs and you will get your baby. Hang in there until you get to feel that high.

Thanks for your responses everyone. I am feeling a bit better today- I think the sun is helping! I think once DH is back I will feel alot better. Sometimes I just think it is never going to happen for us- but I need to snap out of that!

Huge big virtual hugs.

I'm a cat person, but I can understand the comfort of a lovely dog.

Think of the happiest day you have spent with your husband. Try and relive every detail, starting from the morning, all the way to the evening, and relish every moment!

 

[tyler85]

That is lovely advice- thanks. I am counting down the days until he is back! I do feel better today.

 

[MellyH]

Yay for feeling better!
