Just venting

Nicole

I’m currently on my period. It’s really frustrating when everyone around me continues to get pregnant & don’t get me wrong I’m happy for them all but meanwhile while im actively trying I’m also constantly asked “so when are you gonna have kids, you know your clock is ticking” as if I’m not already stressed enough. This will now be my 4th cycle TTC & each month my period comes I feel like I’m grieving a loss somehow. Now this isn’t to invalidate women that have actually experienced a loss because I empathize with them all, but wanting motherhood so badly & not being able to conceive when you’re doing everything by the book & aunt flo shows up every month is so hard. I don’t know if I’m looking for advice or support or both but my heart is heavy this morning and just needed to vent 😔
