Just really needed to vent on here today as I am feeling so sad and just at my wits end.
Have been trying to get pregnant for nearly 2 years. I’m 36, DH is mid 40s. It took months and months to get a referral from the GP when it was clear nothing was happening. I’ve now been referred for egg retrieval and eventual IVF, appointment beginning of July but I’ve still been hopeful we might naturally conceive before that begins. Obviously too hopeful as AF arrived today and I just feel really sad about everything.
I’ve also got Crohn’s disease and spent the last 5 years going through surgeries, medical procedures, recoveries, various medications. I feel like I’ve only recently got my body back and in pretty good health again, and now starting a new journey of more horrible medical procedures and medications but it seems it’s the only way for us. And even then, a high chance it won’t work.
No need to reply, I just needed to get it out of my system somehow 😔
