Hello everyone hope u are all doing better than me today.. sittin on couch in pain.. no physical but hurting inside.. it didn't get better at all after month of second failed attempt.. I got ppl to talk to and trying to take my mind of it but every second I spend on my own I feel horrible.. am sick of putting brave face on for everyone not to see them hurting while I fight inside.. life is pointless at the moment.. just go to work and home and eat and sleep and struggle and the highlight of the day is when I do level on candy crush.. me and my partner are fine but seem miles away and specialy sexual life changed so much I can't be bothered doing nothing coz looking at it as pointles thing coz can't get pregnant that way anyway..and can't injoy it at all.. am scared if it's going like this it will all come to breaking point.. even when I talk to ppl I start to feel like I annoy them with my problems and just feel so empty and sad lost and horrible today knowing I could of bn pregnant today.. but might as well never be..

Big hugs this journey is a tough one and nobody quite prepares you for the emotional feelings that you get. Have you thought about a councillor or try a hobby something to take your mind of things even for a short time xxx

Hi thank u for reply.. to be honest we got no money left for councillor.. and clinic is three hours away for free one x would need holiday to get there.. I try to do stuff but feel like falling more and more into the dark hole actually hate life at the moment.. I know it could be worse but just can't see myself getting out of this with happy ending xx

Have you asked your clinic if they offer over the phone sessions. it's not ideal but I know mine did which means you could still talk to someone without the round trip.

It's hard to stay positive but hang in there and don't give it up hope. Wishing you all the best x

Hi Miroslava, speak to your GP. They may be able to offer you some help, it sounds like you are really struggling and could be suffering with depression. They could recommend an NHS councilor who is closer to home (there is often a waiting list for this) or talk about medication options. Don't try to deal with it all yourself, ask for some help. Infertility is such a hard thing to deal with and I know how lonely you can feel at times.

Do you have any pets? I know it sounds silly but looking after a dog or cat can be very relaxing and helps focus some of your energy and love. I adore my cat and she can help me relax, make me laugh and never tells anyone else the secrets I tell her! ;-) I'm not suggesting this can fill the void in your life that a baby could but they are a great distraction from your worries.

I hope you start to feel better soon. Much love xx

Thank very much for reply vickal I really feel at the moment it's either baby way or no way.. can't enjoy anything in life without thinking about bn mum x I will try and get appointment see what they say x really don't want to end taking some medication but as u say I see I can't handle it myself x pet would be lovely but would cost extra money that could be used for getting other stuff on way to our dream x hope us are all doing better and coping better with all this x lots of love

Hello, I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time. You've been through a lot and it's only natural that it will take time to heal. Be kind to yourself and your hubby. Even if you don't feel like sex right now make sure you have lots of cuddles.

If you can't afford to go for counselling there is a supportline advertised on the Infertility Network UK website which I think is free. Otherwise you may be able to ask your GP to refer you to a counsellor on the NHS.

Take care of yourself x
