When your period arrives

When your period arrives while you’re trying to conceive, it can feel like more than just the start of a new cycle—it can feel like the end of a month of hope. In this compassionate episode of *The Daily Try*, Lara reminds you that disappointment, anger, sadness, frustration, or even acceptance are all valid responses.You don’t have to rush into planning the next cycle, analysing what went wrong, or figuring out what to do differently. Sometimes, the kindest thing you can do is pause, rest, and give yourself space to feel. Whether that means a quiet walk, comfort food, a call with a friend, or simply an afternoon nap, taking care of yourself isn’t giving up—it’s part of the journey.Your period doesn’t mean you’ve failed, and you’re not alone in finding this experience difficult. This episode offers a gentle reminder to be patient with yourself, honour how you feel today, and trust that tomorrow may feel a little easier.For more support, check out my ⁠Monthly Fertility Snail Mail letter subscription ⁠
