I absolutely do not want to go to work this week after my CP last week. Literally want to spend all the time with my toddler and cuddle him but I’m worried about work and how they see it and how long is too long to have off? I let my boss know and 2 colleagues I work closely with and one has asked if I’m going to be off. Isn’t that a given? Sorry. I’m ranting 😞

I’m so sorry about this, I live in a country where we get miscarriage leave so was able to take this, surely they would be saying for you to take some time off??

Honestly I’d say whatever it took to get even an afternoon off. Brutal honesty and/or appendicitis.
 
CD34 and 11DPO now, this has been a looooong month for me!

I’ve had such a windy stomach both last night and now tonight, yesterday I’d put it down to the quorn Chilli I ate but now who knows! Of course Google says it could be a sign like it does about bloody everything 😂

On the podcast someone recommend in the previous thread one of the girls said you can Google any symptom and someone will always say yes I had that! And it’s so true lol She said she managed to convince herself lock jaw was a symptom once 😂
 
I’ve told a few people that we are going to see a fertility specialist and all of their responses have been ‘that’s exciting/good news!’ Ermmm no? They are also aware of my miscarriages.. I know it can be hard to know what to say in these situations but the toxic positivity around ttc and loss if sickening!
 
Found out at my scan today I only have 2 follicles 🥲 for some reason I feel a bit less stressed, I don't know if its because now I know what I'm up against I can start preparing, I'm less in limbo. Still tit, how can I be 23 and have TWO follicles, bleeping TWO out of all the hundreds of thousands we're born with and mine are down to two. I'm shocked, it hurts so much but I'm praying this first round of IVF goes okay and something good happens.

On the upside my partner is ready to do embryo freezing, after a few days of talking and speaking with our parents, he's ready to give it a shot for me. He told me he doesn't want his anxieties over the future to stop me from being a mummy if it's the only chance I have now. 🥲 at least something good came from today.

Hugs to all of you who need one tonight❤️

I’m so sorry but you know what most 23 year olds aren’t even thinking about checking their fertility and it could have been too late by the time they had starting trying for a baby. I think this it’s fate that you did. Best of luck with your IVF journey 💕

100% I'm so glad I did it when I did, I had been telling myself since last year to freeze them and I never did as I wasn't with the right person and i just never bothered. I'm glad I'm doing it now but I feel disappointed with my body knowing the most ill get from any egg retrieval is 2, that's if I'm lucky. I'm finding it hard coping knowing even if these embryos survive, I'll never be able to carry one because of my condition. Feels like the world's against me right now and I hope it gets easier soon. I'll stop moaning now, I know other people have it harder than I do

Don’t be silly this is safe place to let it out. It’s a lot to take it when it’s something that you want so much. Sending you lots of love and positivity, I’m sure the specialists will do all they can to help you.

Moan/rant/complain as much are you like! Your feelings aren’t invalidated because others may have it worse, this is a safe space💫
 
So we finally had our fertility specialist appt today, the only thing that came up in my bloods that needs more looking at is my thyroid/autoimmune antibodies as they were a little abnormal but it seems that this can be ok once you’re on meds. Next thing we have to book in for is a saline infusion sonohysterogram… has anyone had this?! Apparently it’s very painful so am not looking forward to this. Also we will be doing monitored cycles next month using clomid.. I feel relived that genetically we are okish - my AMH is a little lower than average but still in the ‘normal’ zone.. I hope we get our rainbow baby in the next few months!!
