A month later..

[Macca13]

Hey everyone. After treatment finishing at egg collection a month ago (no eggs) thought I was doing well, back to work last week and socialising again,had awful nausea symptoms but they've gone too. Today is a strange day though. Feeling very emotional again, have a family gathering later and don't know how I'm going to cope. Has anyone else felt like this? Is this the norm? Hope everyone's journey is going well and everyone had nice Easter. Xx

Hi Macca! I have to say ever since i found out my treatment failed last week i have struggle a bit. I am constantly anxious. I had quite a social weekend. Family dinner friday night and an 18th birthday party for my brother in law on saturday. I knew last thursday that the treatment had not worked. I made sure not to consume any alcohol because i k ew the slightest comment would have set me off. I have cried quite a few times and have also had to force myself to take deep breaths! The best advice i can tell you is to keep yourself busy. To at least try and keep your mind off it for the gathering. Dont be afraid to speak to your partner also to relive some of how you are feeling. Hope this helps. All the best x

Thank you Wifey90. Trying to keep as busy as possible even if it just with menial household things. My partner has been great I must say, and so far family gathering not too bad. I can be someone else for a little while. Sorry to hear your treatment didn't work, it's so unfair at times xx

Hi,

Your allowed to feel like that, it's a rollercoaster and have you spoken to your consultant for your next step? Keep hope xx

It sure is a roller coaster Kelly-03. My consultant wants me to go with donor eggs, although the clinic I went to you have to advertise for the donor yourself in local press which I've heard is not successful at all and you source your own drugs. Hope still here with me xx
