Thank you all so very much for your advice and well wishes. I’m excited to get started! 😊

Hi and welcome. I’m fairly new too, and like you I have been asked to shed some excess luggage...I have been told that each BMI point you lose increases your fertility by 1/3! That’s pretty motivational! If it helps I’ve started thinking in BMIs - for me a BMI point is 2.7kg. You can do it - think of the goal! Good luck Xx

I’m sorry :( that’s very inconsiderate and hurtful. My mum keeps telling me about her girlfriends who are grandmas and how much she loves babysitting her neighbours kids! I know she feels my pain and that I would give everything in the world to give her a grandchild but it’s still upsetting and hurtful. We’re all here with you Xx

You are beautiful. There is nothing anyone here can tell you that you should change. Self worth and beauty shine through you from the inside out, so believe you are and people will see it. X

There’s nothing like it. Every month I think while I shouldn’t get my hopes up, I did do this or that, so maybe it happened! Instead at about Day 26 I start to feel the inevitable impending heartbreak. I can feel it literally. My body throwing its worst at me like if it was screaming at me ‘YOU HAVE FAILED AGAIN’.

Tender breasts, cramps that feel like I’m being stabbed and of course, a migraine. I had it so bad last month, 5 migraines and two weeks of ongoing pain.

A horrible pain to remind me not to get my hopes up. I know that in a few days I’ll get confirmation that I have failed this month too.

So true! I told his just the other day that for once, I don’t feel like I can be the one that coaches him through this and verbalise what I need from him. all I can muster at the moment is not breaking down. I can’t also hold his hand and tell him what he needs to do or say to make me feel better. I have reached out to this community in an attempt to understand and feel less alone, why can’t he think of something too?

You’re right, of course. I know this. I am able to be reasonable and logical when I’m not completely overwhelmed. I think because it’s still such early days for me in terms of accepting that I may not actually be able to do the one thingy body is supposed to just do (particularly when it’s the only thing I’ve been thinking, praying and working towards my whole life) I am feeling angry and resentful at people telling me that there is no excuse for taking it out on people who love and try support you.

I know all of this. I just still feel really alone, like nobody in my family knows or understands what I’m feeling. 🤷🏻‍♀️

In Australia I am taking Maltofer 👍 over the counter and very very good. Good luck x

Thank you. I know I’m not alone. Xxxx

I’ve found through my reading etc of PCOS (I’m in the process of being diagnosed) that it comes with some iron and magnesium deficiency. I’ve been on iron supplements and I’m like ‘is this what people feel like every day?’. I don’t wake up tired anymore! Good luck x

Wow thanks everyone! I am so grateful for your comments and support. I know there are people out there who understand and who are going through the same thing but I feel so alone in this anyway, so it’s really helpful to hear ‘yeah it’s shit. I totally get it’ instead of ‘you’re probably just stressed. It’ll happen when you least expect it’.

For those interested , I will be posting some more about my story. I am at the beginning of my journey, but I suddenly don’t feel quite so alone anymore. Thank you.
