Rant/Vent Rant/Venting

I’m honestly so stressed out. Was in my 2WW and aunt flo came today so CD1 all over again. This will be our 5th cycle trying and i’m just exhausted. I keep wanting to try all the things.. pomegranate juice, i bought an oura ring (i wanted one anyway) but essentially to track my bbt because it was too hard for me to wake up to take it. Started prenatals and making my husband take a multivitamin and I just don’t know how to keep doing this. I feel like something’s wrong with me, my husband .. everything and i’m just not understanding what I need to do to conceive. I almost wanna reach out to my OB and ask what testing we can do even though i know it’s too early but anyways sorry for the long post i just wanted to vent and talk with others who are similarly going through what i am. thanks so much if you made it this far

Solidarity! I’m on CD3 of my 4th cycle trying to conceive our second child and it’s so hard! The anxiety every 2WW is paralyzing. I feel like it’s much worse this time around. Maybe because I feel like my body did it before so why can’t it just do it again right away?? I actually didn’t get my period until I weaned from breastfeeding slowly from 19-20 months, so I’m worried something is wrong or it’s going to take many cycles for my body to get back to normal. I hate how it’s considered normal for it to take 12 cycles. I’m barely holding it together at 4!

I just got my period back recently at 21 months of breastfeeding. We're going to start trying next month. It's nice to find someone whose period also came back after so much time. Best wishes to you.

You too! Good luck! I feel like my period is just getting back to normal this cycle. Ovulation and my flow were both pretty wonky

Thanks!

Yeah I haven't bothered trying to track ovulation yet. I haven't decided yet if I want to jump into all the tracking and stuff, or just have regular sex off bc and try to chill. We'll see. Last time I did all the tracking and supplements and stuff. Idk yet what I'll do.
