Does anyone else ever wonder if this forum does more harm than good? I swear reading posts about BFPs all day is doing bad things to my anxiety levels & taking all the fun out of TTC 🙈

Question

Answer

I think it depends on how you look at it all. I had a miscarriage in Aug and have been TTC since, so seeing the BFP posts hurt a bit. But on the other hand some of those BFPs are from women that have been trying for years, and that’s awesome for them!

Answer

Sometimes it gets me down a little but more because I’m just getting a bit impatient with my journey not because of anyone else on here... sometimes I also really like to see the BFP’s especially from women in their later 30’s like myself and I like the comment below I feel my 7 months ttc is hard but their are women on here who’ve been trying for years and have fertility issues that makes their journey a lot harder - when they get a BFP I’m over the moon! But I do understand where you’re coming from. Perhaps just take a break from reading the group

Answer

I think that’s exactly my worry, seeing posts from women who have been trying for years makes me panic that I might have the same issues. Even though I’ve only been trying 3 months so I know that’s silly but you know what your irrational TTC brain can do to your mind! I guess cause I’m 31 now I feel the pressure and worry I should’ve started to try sooner. Hindsight is a wonderful thing 🙈 Doesnt help that my best friend & my sister both announced they’re expecting within a week of each other! Happy for them, frustrated for me I guess. 
Baby dust ladies, hope you all get your BFP soon! Xx
