Sick of this feeling after another failed month

I don’t understand it. This year has been hell. MC at the start of the year and then month after month of ‘nopes’, your body lied to you again. My body is useless. I think I should just quit. Maybe the universe is telling me something. So much for being more fertile post MC, what a load of 💩
