I'm following waiting_on_a_bun on Instagram. She's 28, premature ovarian failure and documenting her ivf journey; needles and all.

Saw this she had posted and thought we'd all relate to it! Considered sharing it with a couple of friends.

Morning all xx

Fertility issues shouldn't ever be a taboo subject . When I've been going through this journey I've often felt isolated and that people get forgetful to include me into things. Although my family and husband are so supportive sometimes the healthunlocked network understands better and easier xx

The taboo is unbelievable. It's one of the biggest things I have struggled with. Admitting to people that it's not a normal route for me. This network is definitely where I feel most at home! x

For me and my husband the torment is I fell pregnant in November / December and right after Christmas we lost to a blighted ovum. And had 3 Miss carriages now and I've had one with previous relationship.. it's one big puzzle .. one which ends up really frustrating.. on many occasions I've thrown a wobble and said I'm quitting and just giving up. Still keep putting myself through it though family won't allow me to give up just yet until all options have been looked at. But it's still a torment.. x

Wow romaluna2015,that sounds like your having a tough time emotionally. Im reading this really cool book and it says everything is energy. It got me thinking if I'm still thinking about those past events and want a good outcome for the future then I need to let go of the emotional stuff from the past to be aligned with what I want now.Just a food for thought. It seems that you have a loving family around you. Have faith. lots of love.xxx

This is so true. Never felt so alone in my life and so emotional. I wish I could talk about it as freely as she can. Will give her a follow xx

I know! And her husband is so part of it! Not that mine isn't - but he's so public too! x

Love this 💗 Good for her! It's illness so why should we feel embarrassed to talk about it?! I agreed with all that she said-spot on! Thanks for the share! X

It makes me angry that this happens. Makes me angrier that I still don't have the guts she does. x
