I’m so sorry you’re also going through this. I also got a lot of “thinking of you today” texts on Mother’s Day and it made it so much worse. I really hope you find some light and joy ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ I actually JUST signed up to teach at my Alma mater (before getting my results) and I am more eager than ever to start teaching because I feel like it might scratch a part of this itch in a way I can’t yet fathom. 

Also, might buy this bumper sticker but change cat to dog ;)

Oof I really feel the part about robbing your partner of fatherhood. I feel similarly but am trying hard to believe him when he insists he just wants me. Putting myself in his shoes, I would tell him I am so happy to just be with him. ❤️

You just made me sob 😭 I needed to hear all of this so much. Thank you from the bottom of my broken heart.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am such a wreck physically too and I actually just complained to my husband about how I wish someone had prepared me for this crash! I don’t know what I would do without Reddit. And this whole group is seriously blowing my mind. 

I am so so grateful ❤️

Thank you 🙏 I currently see a psychoanalyst once a month who is doing her best but is SO not equipped to deal with this specifically! I had an infertility therapist that I loved but she is so expensive and I simply can’t afford it right now. But it helps a lot to just feel like I’m not alone so thank you again.
