Sad & Lonely

[Anonymous29]

I have already whinged on about whether I have ovulated this clomid cycle, and panicking because I won't be allowed another try if I haven't ovulated (test is this afternoon). But I'm just feeling really lonely and emotional atm. I am surrounded by 3 pregnant women at work, 2 in my personal life and just really feeling sorry for myself thinking why can't it ever happen for us. I just really don't know how to navigate these feelings and where to turn for support. No one really fully understands in my life (apart from my husband), but I'm just not sure what to do if the results next week confirm no ovulation. I'm so far away from the BMI I need for IVF and I just feel like I'm running out of time. I am losing weight but I still have about 6 stone to go and I've never been that weight since a child, even when I was a size 10, I didn't have a healthy BMI because I have such large breasts so I don't know how I'm ever going to get to the weight. Don't know what I'm looking for here, just needed a place to vent

Hi. I as in the same position as you at one stage with PCOS. You’re losing weight which is terrific.. you will hit plateaus, then it will shift again. Have yoou tried our weight loss group, lots of help and support , so do have a look. Try not to worry about othe pregnancies and babies, unless you want to. Just concentrate on you and I hope others will be along. Diane

I’m so sorry you are feeling this way. Being surrounded by pregnancy is just awful isn’t it. I just wanted to let you know that on a recent fertility network uk support group zoom they said that fertility network uk are run in g a 6 week weight loss and nutrition course, all online. One of the ladies in the zoom works for fertility network uk and helped to get it set up.

This is it if you want to check it out - fertilitynetworkuk.org/even...

Sending you a hug x
