Hi everyone,
I am relatively new to this or any support groups. I decided to look one up as I have been trying to conceive for 15 months now and it is just such a frustrating and heart breaking process. I am 33 years old and my partner is older with an 11 year old daughter. I have recently been diagnosed with endometriosis and am on a waiting list for a laparoscopy. My period arrived again this morning and I just feel so gutted, even though I should be used to it by now, a little part of me always hopes that this might be the month! I work as an early childhood / preschool teacher and just feel as though I am surrounded by pregnant mothers and even one of the teachers in my room is pregnant!
Any advice on how people cope and get through this time and time again. I feel like I am on an emotional rollercoaster and this has an impact on my moods and my relationship too!
Please help!

I haven't found 1 single way to cope with IF but usually bounce between various outlets like exercise, counseling, drinking wine :) I think its natural for us to become a bit withdrawn from family and friends, often times because its painful, nobody really knows how to talk about it outside of those of us struggling with it. And also because its hard to keep up a front when you're hurting.
I hope you find the support you need here! I hope your BFP is right around the corner!
