Happy on the outside...

Infertility sucks. I have the joyfully named 'idiopathic infertility'. I'm hoping on this forum that I can have just a few moments to feel really blooming sorry for myself and that, just for a little while, it's ok to be really, really sad. I'm also hoping that some of you may be able to tell me that there really can be more to life, because according to Facebook, there isn't! Without a baby I'm not in the club, my comments are irrelevant - after all, how could I possibly imagine the sleepless nights...- I am, by the way, as of yesterday, not looking at Facebook. It's my own silent protest. I'm trying to learn that it's ok not to have a baby. Please help...Thank you xx

Hi beabee...

Welcome to health unlocked. A safe place to be be broken, sad, angry, grieving and understood.

I too was given the 'diagnosis' of unexplained infertility. A lame arse way of saying something's not working but we don't know what or how to help. Great isn't it.

And I am with you with Facebook...I came off it 4 yrs ago and it's been a big help. I have also had to ditch some close but really insensitive friends. And found myself an army of caring and beautiful single women to walk through life's brokeness with.

Welcome to the clan xxx

Leave Facebook. Best decision I made. You won’t miss it I promise. What you will get out of it though is having time to yourself and not being socially guilted into feeling like a failure. Try it for two weeks and see how you go. Facebook is fine if you belong to the mainstream crowd. If you are a bit different then your differences are highlighted by the fact you are not posting the same inane stuff everyone else is.

Hope that helps. x
