TTCing makes me feel so lonely
Hi Girls,
been feeling dreadful the past few days, really low and upset (got yet another BFN on NYE!) I've realised that I'm really lonely!! OH is great but doesn't understand and just keeps telling me to be patient and we don't want anyone to know that we are TTCing so got no one else to talk to!
It's crazy how alone you can feel in a room full of people. BE is my only escape! Does anyone else feel the same?
How can I stop this dreaded sense of loneliness?

We're not telling any of our friends or family that we're ttc either and I find it so hard having this big thing inside my head all the time that I can't discuss with my best friends.
All I can say is that the ladies on here are so friendly and helpful and I know it's not the same as chatting to a friend face to face but it's a great place to chat to people who are going through exactly what you are.
How long have you been ttc hun?? Sending you a hug!! xx
if that wouldn't work for you then come on here more!!
I can really empathise with how you are feeling. There are a few people who know we are trying but I don't actually discuss the ins and outs of it with them. I never realised just how long two weeks is until we started ttc. I feel like I am constantly waiting (waiting for ov, waiting for af, waiting to fall pg) and like my life is on hold, which is a horrible feeling.
Is there someone close that you trust that you can confide in? I know your oh isn't keen on anyone knowing you are ttc, but if it helps you feel better about it...... what about your mum?
And ofcourse you have everyone here on BE. Don't know where I would have been without them, these last few months.
I think that the loneliness stems from feeling inadequate and not being able to get pregant straight away (totally stupid I know, but I can't help it). Going to go to the doctors next week (4th visit) to start tests so will have to see how it goes.
Thank you all for sharing how you feel with me x
Good luck hun. xx
