Counselling session

Hi all. We are in our way to a counselling session. Really not sure what to expect. And not sure what to say. But I'm sure it will be good for us. Lots of love to all. ️Xxx

Good luck, I'm sure it will help. We are waiting for a date for our session and I do intend to use the service as much as I can even if I sometimes just go along on my own. A fertility counsellor will have a pretty good idea about what you and your partner are going through which you just don't get from consultants and nurses who have a clinical approach. Best wishes.

Hi Piglet12, good luck and let us know how you get on. I wasn't sure what to say my first session either but I just told the counsellor our story and said that I felt very angry. That's when the tears started! I cried for most of the hour and she did most of the talking but afterwards I felt so much better and have had several sessions since. I hope your session goes well and you both get a lot from it x x x

Hi. Thanks for replying.

It was fine. It was very useful in making us realise that actually none of this is our fault the failed cycles and then the misscarraige. It was my body saying that the embryo is not happy with something and so won't let the pregnancy progress. That was a great help. As I blamed myself massively for all of it. When actually it's something wrong with the embryo its self. Which still can be hard. But it's not our fault.

I now feel ready for our cycle in April.

I cried tears of relief.

That finally someone at last truly could understand and explain it to me.

Lots of love ladies.

Hi Piglet12, I'm so happy that you found this helpful and you feel ready for your next cycle.

Counselling has also made me feel more prepared for our IVF cycle.

Good luck and take care x

So pleased you've managed to move forward now after such a terribly sad time. It does take time doesn't it, to heal and make peace with everything. I don't think you every truly make peace with it though, but it's about a step by step progress to the next attempt and feeling strong enough to pursue that. I really wish you every bit of luck for April hun, and I truly hope this is YOUR time. Xx

So glad the counselling helped. I'm going to look into getting some too. My clinic is in Spain as you know, so I will have to see if my gp can arrange it.

Take care. Be strong xx xx
