Having a cycle buddy was so refreshing at first. We talked every day and we updated each other on our journey.

I told my cycle buddy I had been trying for a year and a half. She had only been trying for 3 months. Time went on through the month and we reached our fertile week and discussed things that could help. Such as eating pineapples during that time to help with fertility.

After that week we talked each other through the two week wait. We all know how awful that two week wait is wanting to pee on a stick every single day.

Of course we both tested wishing each other luck every single time and updating on any weird pregnancy symptoms that we were having whether they were real or in our heads.

And then the two week wait was over. Would aunt flow show her ugly face or would we be blessed with our miracle babies?

You see it, I got mine. I was devastated. I turn to my cycle buddy for support, only to my surprise she has good news.

After 3 months of trying she did it. She was pregnant. And while I was happy for her i was also so upset. I finally had someone to talk to during my struggle and my journey to have a baby. And she had done it and I still couldn’t. So while having a cycle buddy can be comforting it can also be heartbreaking. You want the best for them but in that moment when they fall pregnant and you don’t, not only do you lose hope in it happening for you but you lose someone to talk to during the journey because they are no longer trying they have success and you have your period.
