Taking a break...

Hi lovelies,

I hope you are all well...

I have decided I'm going to take a break for a bit.

I'm struggling a bit with my BFN a week ago as everything felt like it was falling into place, I had symptoms I hadn't had before etc. I totally understand that so many of you are going through bigger challenges than I am but I'm really struggling with it all and think I just need a break.

I have deactivated social media accounts due various announcements. I will still hang around in the background offering my congratulations and condolences when I can.

I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has commented where they can. This place is so amazing, everyone is sooo supportive and I will be back. I will keep an eye out for all your BFPs, as no matter how upset I get for me I am happy for every one of you as I can't think of anyone who deserves them more.

I wish everyone who's pregnant well and lots of luck and baby dust to those still trying for their dream

Xx

Such a sweet post oregan! Yes this place is very supportive and definitely helps through the good and bad times. A break always helps. I took 6months off before I tried again. Take some time out and enjoy the things you used to. Big hugs xxxx

Thank you for replying...

I'm hoping it will help.

it can be hard to explain how some announcements upset me and some don't. None of the ones here seem to upset me, and I think that maybe because "were all in it together" so to speak, but the ones you don't expect, like the co worker who u didn't know was trying or the one who posts bump photos to fb or the person who got married after you who seems to just fall so easily for some reason do affect me.

I wish them all well and don't begrudge them their happily ever after it's just something I need to learn to deal with.

Thank you for your reply and as I said I'll be back

Xx

I know how you feel. I came off of all social media too and it made me so much happier.

Wishing you all the best for the future Hun x

I think we all need a break sometimes and to take some time to grieve for your loss. Good idea about deactivating social media, I feel that can sometimes do more damage when your already feeling low.

Look forward to seeing future posts from you, we'll all be here waiting. Take care xx

Thank you hun,

I think this month felt different and then wasn't so that took me a bit to get my head around and then a new pregnancy announcement just kind of sent me into floods of tears. I thought I was doing so well and then a co worker who got married after us is now 3month and just posted her announcement. I'll get there but it's just going to take me some time.

Thank you so much for your reply xxx

Definitely will take time, I still really struggle with pregnancy announcements on social media for similar reasons. I just feel everyone but me (although I never would announce it on social media) is having a healthy pregnancy.

Good for you for putting yourself first and taking time to 're build' xx

Look after yourself Oregan. It's so hard. A week after my bfn I was still in bits but it does get easier. The first two weeks were the most difficult. It will be good to take some time to yourself to do some of the things we can't do on this journey. Be kind to yourself. See you soon xx

I totally understand, I had a negitive at end/start of this year, we was planning to do it again around now but now have decide to wait till next year, you can get so caught up in it all can't you that you just need time away from it all. Sending big hugs to you xx

Such a lovely post thank you 😊

I will be back as you said stronger and I know I will eventually get to my goal as we all will xx 😘

of course you are glad for the bfps but you are sad for you it hasn't happened for you yet.

if ttc is making you miserable then its the right thing to do to take a breather and come back when you are ready.

Thank you for your reply...

I just get upset by the ppl who seem to fall so easily when there is all of us who are struggling... I think I just need to get a better handle on my emotions and dealing with the pregnancy announcements
