Can I just talk about how frustrated I am?!?

We tried for 8 months, and finally got a BFP, only for that to be taken away by a chemical pregnancy.

Now the people who know about my miscarriage and how we’ve been trying for a while keep giving me advice on what to do to CONCEIVE!! Like I haven’t been studying about TTC for the past year! The Do’s and Don’ts!

I’ve done tracking fertile days, OPK sticks, BBT, monitoring CM, Pre-seed (honestly, the new thing we tried when I got my BFP), “not trying”, “don’t stress about it”, and my favorite: “don’t want it that much”

It frustrates me when people who don’t know what we’re going through give surface advice like these because I’M ALREADY DOING THEM! I know they’re trying to help, but it’s more frustrating to me as someone who’s doing everything we’re supposed to do but nothing is working.

I find comfort in the company of the people on this app since I feel like the TTC community is very supportive and considerate of each other’s feelings. We know the struggle because we are there, too.

So thank you, ladies, for being here with me.
