Moral support

[Sian7919]

I had a failed round of IVF a week ago. I’m 41, have a complicated medical history and take medications. I am feeling really despondent. We have the money for another go and I’m fortunate we both have good wages, but what if money doesn’t matter and my body is broken :( please send any good vibes and feel good stories. I’m feeling really :(

We are here for you, please don't be sad...

Go as long as you can, and if it is time, your body and mind will tell you to stop... But if you think there is any chance then you need to remember, Dont forget it is not over until it is over .... keep the hope.

Loads of hugs xxx

Hey 👋 @Sian7919

I too had a failed round recently (in July).
Taking time to breathe/think/grieve what you had hoped for is important. I’ve now started meds and on journey for a second attempt.
After this we will begin looking into adoption which is the hope that keeps me strong at this hard time.

I pray our second attempt works but it’s the same success rate/chances as the last one. It does only take only embryo though which I try to remind myself!!!!

This journey is so hard and digging very deep is the only way I’m coping. Family and friends have been a huge support.

Thank you @Papoy and @UncleBrynsfishingtrip I recently found out my sister in law is pregnant too and as much as I am happy for them I just feel like why can’t I have what I want. I’ve done so much in my life and tried so hard. I’ve had so many set backs recently, bereavements and illness and medications that have made me poorly. I just want this one thing. Maybe I’m hormonal (pre-menstrual) as feeling a bit blue. I feel let down by my hospital and I’m more than capable of sorting out my next steps, but I want ‘my specialists’ to take care of me and not have to push for everything myself. Sadly though I think that’s what I’m going to have to do. I’m trying to change my diet, take supplements and I’m finally managing to do some exercise which I haven’t been able to do for a while. I guess I just need some good vibes and to stop feeling sorry for myself. I didn’t even get a blastocyst.

It’s very hard to deal with others announcements. Did your SIL tell you in a sensitive way? We’ve now got 13 nieces and nephews and just want our own to worry about and too make us sleep deprived too so we can join in with their conversations about stretchmarks/breastfeeding/nipple soreness/weaning etc.... 🤣
Sending you lots of love. Rest up tonight and do something nice for yourself tomorrow xx

@UncleBrynsfishingtrip just over the telephone. No one in my family knows we’re undergoing IVF. I don’t know why but they haven’t really been around for me whilst I’ve been ill so I figure I’ll do this part on my own too. I have told my three closest friends though. I think I will have a bath and an early night. I’m sure I’ll feel better tomorrow. It feels like the longest wait until Thurs when we have our appointment with the consultant regarding the failed cycle. Thanks for your kind words x

@Sian7919 sending you hugs ❤️ it hasn't been long at all, give yourself some time xx

Thanks @ivfjourney5 feeling a little bit better today. Just felt really sad last night. We have our consultation tomorrow so hopefully will know more and feel better after tomorrow x
