I hope that’s an ex friend! That’s vile. Also I can see Abi and Cole doing that to their friends.
I have just turned 36. I know it may never happen, I just try not to dwell on it. I’m not always very good at that though. If my recent blood test shows my egg count is good then that will help relieve my anxiety. It was good before, I got tested before lockdown but I know I’m not getting any younger And my health needs to be better. My husband is all good with his tests.
The sad thing is if they did struggle to get pregnant with ivf they would have milked it for all it was worth. I mean they still are now and the baby is here! All in the name of ”raising awareness” which I don’t understand. Unless raising awareness of themselves is what they actually mean. They want sympathy and to tug at folks heart strings to get gifts from their sheep and I think that’s wrong. Perhaps I’m old fashioned but some things just shouldn’t be monetised.
Yes, she is now very much an ex friend.
I took a back step and slowly phased her out.
She turned up out of the blue on my doorstep crying because all the other mums at her kids school were being mean to her.
Turns out they thought she was a smug busybody.
I had to laugh (after she’d gone of course!) Made me realise it’s not just me she’d insulted. Passive aggressive she was.
Would say actually mean things to people and if they pulled her up on it, she’d always slap back with “oh you know I didn’t mean it like that, you’re too sensitive“ etc etc etc.
I don’t think she has any friends left. Not surprised.
So, I’d had glandular fever at 21, signed off work for a full year, sleeping 20 hours a day, extremely unwell. Just a sidestep from developing M.E. according to my GP at the time. It was them who said I’d struggle to get pregnant, but if I did I’d then struggle to stay pregnant. I didn’t think much of it at the time at 22, my priority was not to have childrenbut after that my cycle was all over the place, 3 times a year sometimes.
I was on the cusp of taking clomid, like literally had the pill in my hand, when I’d remembered the doctor had said I should take a test before I took it just incase I was pregnant.
We had been trying for a couple years and I’d already lost my first baby. As luck would have it, I was actually pregnant.
33 when I had my son, 35 when I had my daughter. You are by no means past the time of best chances. You’re right in the middle of it. Most times a body kicks out more eggs each ovulation as your go through into late 30s, so you may end up with twins!!
(I’d have loved to have had twins, seriously)
I agree with you, I do believe if they’d struggled to conceive or indeed had a loss in pregnancy, it would have been used for views/likes.
It’s the world they live in isn’t it. Every event is a content opportunity
It’s very very sad and a gross sign of the times
