Just need a place to vent
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for the past three months. I really thought this would be my month. I get my period every 28 days like clock work. I track my cycle with the Oura ring and another app I’ve used since I was 24 (I’m 34 now). We used ovulation sticks. We thought we were doing everything right. I was 4 days late and really eager to test but decided to not to. Then I got my period on Mother’s Day. I’m devastated.
I think one of the hardest parts about another month without any success, especially on Mother’s Day, is going on social media and seeing all of the pregnancy announcements. I’m so happy for those people but it’s so hard not to be a little jealous.
I’m posting because I’m looking for my community of people who I can vent to about it. I know I’m not alone here but I can’t keep dumping my frustrations and disappointments on my friends who can’t relate because they had success with getting pregnant on their first attempt. I also don’t want to continue putting pressure on my husband because I don’t think that’s fair to him or healthy for our relationship. He knows how hard it’s been on me mentally and he’s such a supportive person but I don’t want the feeling of finally conceiving to be “relief.” I want it to be a happy, blissful experience. Does that make sense? Lol
