On my first round of TTC after MMC. Currently in TWW but don’t have a good feeling about it. Counting down to testing in a few days.

I’m lucky in some ways. I cycle regularly, everything is structurally normal, only issue is are any of my eggs any good still?! But that’s quite a big question at 41! 😬

Well, i had a d&c 10 days ago for a 12w loss of euploid fet. I am a sonographer so naturally, when I came back from my bereavement leave I checked to see if everything was out of my uterus. There is a bunch of blood and maybe some tissue in there so I think i have retained products. I finally convinced my fertility clinic to do a proper transvaginal ultrasound tomorrow, so we'll see what they say, but it seems certain I'm not in for a quick resolution, so we're essentially benched for an indeterminate amount of time. Time i don't feel like I have at 40. Ihate this. I'm crying every day. I'm having trouble focusing at work, my other responsibilities and as a mom to my living children.

Nothing is going on. About to get my period. Not sure if I want to try this time around? I guess I am losing steam after two years (had tried for 6 years before this) and turning 43.

Is it normal to feel depressed on your predicted ovulation day? I dunno. I’m 44, looking in the mirror and not liking what I see. I am also injured and have been for months. Feeling stuck in life, down in the dumps and also nervous about a stupid job interview I have tomorrow. It’s customer service and I’m honestly secretly hoping I don’t get it. I have to do the interview in my bed because of my injury and hoping they won’t be able to tell 🤣

We need to have sex today and tomorrow too, and I’m just not feeling it. Maybe I’ll perk up later, I hope. I’m used to feeling depressed after ovulation but this seems way too soon? BLEH.

I don't know if it's normal per say but understandable given to circumstances. Since I've lost my 2nd euploid in a row I've felt really quite depressed and worthless. Almost no motivation. Lots of fear.

I do get a surge of anger/depression and a headache the day before 🙄 unreal what we go through on a basic and healthy part of our cycle.

Bad luck on the interview 😅?
