Probably being dramatic

I’m really sorry When everyone’s got stuff going on but I do feel like everyone on this page is the only group of people who understand

I’m sat in my car crying on the way home from work. It’s been a really stressful few days I’ve got a new job so I’m still in that trying to prove myself stage and it was a difficult shift and my manger is away so I’m covering and trying to keep things ship shape

I’m my own worst enemy but it started off with a little stress tear but now I’m bawling thinking about how I’ve had three sets of friends go on maternity over the years and then somehow got myself in a state thinking that it’s unfair because i should be off on maternity leave now if all had gone to plan not dealing with difficult shifts and the I just got in this downward spiral and feeling rubbish

Oh lovely sorry youre feeling so rubbisht. All this fertility stuff is a bit of shit sandwich, but you’ll get though it. You’re stronger than you think, we all are.

Have a good cry and get it all out, then focus of getting where you need to be. One step at a time. Be kind to yourself.

Sending hugs xxx

Thank you and the ‘shit sandwich’ made me smile I’m going to use that. X x

Really hope you're okay, sorry you're feeling so down, this journey is so hard and so cruel at times. Have a good cry, let it all out and know that you've got people on this board that are right behind you! I second Barbara's comment you are stronger then you think! Take care of yourself X

You poor thing. I hope you are feeling a little better now. I think it’s healthy to have a good cry. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you. Very best of luck with your new job xx

We all feel emotional sometimes and have a good cry 😢 it’s normal, chin up tomorrow another day xx

Let it all out. I think lots of us on here spend so much time trying to keep it all together that it's great therapy to have a good bawl every once in a while. You got this. And be less harsh on yourself at work too xxx

You definitely did the right thing by letting it all out and having a good cry. Life is crap sometimes, total and utter unfair and unjust crap, but it’s those times that will make the good times that bit more

Magical. You will get there, one way or another, PPO is my mantra (persistence pays off) and I truly believe you can always get what you want, not necessarily exactly how you want it, but you’ll get there. Wishing you so much love and peace while you fight your way through this really unfair and rubbish time. You will get there xxxx

It's such a hard journey and a big cry is sometimes just what you need! Hope you are feeling better today xxx

I sometimes have to take myself off for a cry at the sheer unfairness of it all and then pull myself together. As someone has already said infertility is a shit sandwich and some days it's more palatable than others. You will always have bad days with or without infertility but your success rate for getting through them is 100%. Stay strong and be kind to yourself xx
