@browneyedgirl626 i was only off work for EC and on my transfer I went straight into the office and worked as normal & definitely helped keep me distracted, the weekends were the worse!
My update is my viability scan on Thursday was positive, we saw a heart beat and have been officially discharged from the clinic - I still feel nervous as there wasn’t any checks and I’ve read that the head to neck measurement & blood tests for defects are important, so until I’ve seen a midwife I don’t think I’ll let myself get too excited. You just never know if you’re out of the woods with any of this - so just thinking positive and trying to eat healthy. Will be thinking and praying for you @Purplemichelle xx
@VioletCookie absolutely so normal to feel like this about your friends news… before I started IVF, last January my best friend told me she was pregnant and I was expecting it, but just couldn’t feel happy for them, and I felt really awful about it but I just couldn’t help how I felt. I think it’s also how nonchalant people are, getting pregnant just like that, that’s what made me feel upset & jealous. We all feel it, whether we like to admit it or not!
also I have a friend who was doing ivF at the same time as me but hasn’t been successful, we have different journeys but still really wanted to be successful together. Initially it was awkward between us, but actually we’ve been really honest together. I think we’re both sensitive to each other’s situations and being kind/careful with our talks, and if your friend isn’t being sensitive to your situation I think it’s a really big red flag. As happy as you should be for her, she should equally care about what you’re still going through, and even more so I think. It might not hurt to keep more of a distance so you don’t feel awkward in situations? Some people are just so blinded their own happiness they forget the world around them but also maybe an honest conversation will settle and straighten things out for you both?
so great to have this community to vent to!!
