@clitterratti I was fuming reading your post where the doctors just assume that your weight is the issue!!! Surely a doctor shouldn't assume anything, it could be literally anything!!! Like you say plenty of overweight people have perfectly healthy pregnancies and babies, I have friends twice the size of me who get pregnant first time without even having to try. I get the opposite annoying comments actually with doctors saying I'm slim and healthy and so I should have no problem getting pregnant, and I feel that my infertility is not taken seriously. It's so backwards, they should think before speaking. Sigh. I hate the pressure that comes with an extended period of ttc in terms of your health and everything you eat or drink. If anything with the depression that I had after the miscarriage I ate way more sugar and crisps than I ever did before, because it's that much harder to eat healthily when you're grieving. I am currently trying to eat a lot more veg and less processed sugar, but I refuse to give up on my alcohol (which is like a beer every few weeks so it's hardly over the top!). Anyway I also laughed at your magpie comment, I never used to be superstitious but this whole baby thing has got me reading tarot cards, magpies, the lot, lol! We just want it so much! Too much, according to my mum, as though me wanting it too much is why I can't get pregnant, which is SO RUDE and annoying - I defy anyone who's had a recent miscarriage to not want it!!! She never had fertility issues, she doesn't understand. Gah being trapped indoors is bringing out all my frustrations haha!!!
@VenusStarr I'm sorry about your period arriving :( and I'm sorry about your test results.. sort of! I know how you feel - when I was told that my fibroids have no impact on my fertility, I couldn't help feeling "but why then?" as though I'd prefer to be told I'm not healthy than to be told there is NO REASON why I'm not getting pregnant.
@Mumlili9 good luck this month. I'm also going to plough on despite what is going on in the outside world - like you I don't feel I have time to waste as it took me so so long to fall pregnant that first and only time. Probably shouldn't have used the phrase "plough on" there lol!
@BunnytheBee heading into the 2ww now, guessing your'e the same? We only managed 3 times this month during my fertile window so doesn't seem massively hopeful..
I'm only allowed into work 4 hours a week now, which is driving me nuts. At least the sun is out. My boyfriend working from home but has moved his "office" to the spare room which is allowing us to feel some separation between work and home, which is helpful! His job interview is not going to be affected by the virus either, it will be done via Skype, so that's good news! I've actually been in a really good mood the last 5-6 weeks, which is a welcome relief as I think I was fully into a depression for at least 4-5 months there. In a way this coronavirus just feels like an extension of the chaos in my mind that's gone on since the miscarriage for me. It's just more uncertainty, more total lack of control, things changing from day to day and not knowing what's going to happen to your body. In a way I think maybe I've been a bit better prepared for the total chaos than some friends, if that makes sense.
Hope you're all well, safe, and staying sane xxx
