Thank you, girls

Thank you for making me feel like I haven’t lost my sanity.

Thank you for understanding how frustrating it is.

Sometimes, when I say out loud or write to friends and family why I’m so down (TTC for 10 months, 2MC), I feel stupid. But then I come here and I see all the posts of women like me who, despite being normal human beings, feel as frustrated, anxious, obsessed and helpless as me.

Thank you for sharing how disappointed you also feel in your bodies and yourselves sometimes.

Thank you for sharing how silly you feel after testing at 6, or 7, or 8 DPO (why can’t we just wait to miss that freaking period and stop spending so much money in early response tests?!)

Thank you for understanding how saying “just relax” doesn’t help and just makes me want to punch someone sometimes.

And how, no matter how many times we’re told, it’s harder every month that goes by to believe “it’ll happen when you least expect it”

Thank you for getting that I’m jealous of every pregnant woman I see in the street and how I have to give it my all to just be happy for my friends and family who are having babies.

Thank you for helping me keep my cool.

Thank you so much for being my refuge and my safe space.

I truly wish a BIG and FAT and dark as hell positive to you all sooner rather than later. But until then, I’m here for you ❤️ 🌈 👼🏼
