@Kiki061190 Hello, lovely. Thank you & glad you're feeling well overall! I used to have a 6.30-7.30pm nap after work when I was pg. I couldn't cope without it in the evenings, it was hitting me from 3pm onwards every day! Think it's lack of ceffeine too, I normally drink a couple of coffees per day, then I went all decaff before and during the pregnancy. What a difference, on top of the natural hormone-related fatigue! I'm thinking of you ❤️
@zoomies1 Good to hear from you. Don't apologise, there's nothing to apologise for. It sounds like an uber shit few days for you, sorry to hear this. Re IVF, what did they say again, sorry, that you need to be trying for 3 years of you're under 40? That's ridiculous? I read somewhere on this forum (not on our thread) that having a MC does not restart the clock for the purposes of any referrals, so the TTC period would have started when you started trying. Can anyone better informed than me confirm this, as I can't 100% verify this is true? Also re private clinics, I think it depends, some require a referral and some don't, but you shouldn't have problems with getting one. Extra faff though, isn't it, not that it's needed now. I also agree with @bananamonkey, pretty sure over 35 it should be 6 months, I'll see if I can find the links for you.
Re negativity, I realise how negative my recent posts have come across, and I also catch myself being negative when speaking to people in real life, whenever we move on to these subjects. I think it is very difficult. I said this before, to me being on this forum sometimes feels challenging because it's a constant reminder of what I've been through, and reading new stories on particular is difficult, as I try to move forward and am at a different stage now. So I sometimes switch off for a day or a couple of days, and I deleted most of my social media too. But, in the same time, I find not many people in real life actually are in the same place as me. Most of them have been through baby loss and totally understand, which has been lovely, but they've already gone on to have children after that, and often good few years ago. So they are in a different place again, and obviously clinical guidance has changed since as well. Therefore, there's not much I can relate to looking from my position now, and you ladies are a saving grace. I do love our thread, and how honest it is as well. I'd like to think this is a safe haven in this massive turmoil that, frankly, is going on in my head 24/7, whether with or without MN and the Internet. So thank you all for being you, you're amazing ❤️
@SunStruck How are you doing, twinnie? 😀 My AF is a killer, I definitely feel my cycle is back to normal now, ovulation tests are out and ready! Am I right in thinking we should start 3 days after AF is finished?
What is everyone up to this lovely Bank Holiday?
On the final note, hello new posters and sorry for your losses & experiences.
