This weekend is never an easy one when you’re trying to conceive – it’s one of those times of year when it can feel as if the world is determined to make you feel worse with reminders wherever you turn of the thing you are most longing for.
Don’t forget – it’s not just you. There are 3.5 million other people out there in the UK alone trying to conceive, and Sunday is a difficult day for every one of them.
🌿 Whether it’s grief, anger or sadness, your emotions are real and deserve space. Don’t feel pressured to “just be happy” today.
🌸 It’s fine to avoid social media, turn down invitations or step away from situations that feel triggering. Protect your peace.
☕ Do something that brings you comfort, whether it’s taking a long walk, going to a yoga class or watching a feel-good movie.
💌 Reach out to a friend who understands and has similar experiences – or to us at the Fertility Alliance. Sometimes, just knowing you’re not alone can really help.
