Tricky Days...

[Sez73]

When I was much younger, I thought being single & feeling alone on Valentines Day really sucked, I dreamt of finding my soulmate. I'm now 43 and feel very lucky to have the most fantastic fiancé in the world at my side and no longer dread that day. 15 years battling endometriosis and 6 years trying unsuccessfully to conceive and I find myself dreading a different day. A new day which also sucks, but boy does it pack a much bigger punch than any old sad Valentines Day. So to all you amazingly strong, inspirational lovely ladies out there, whatever your circumstances, I'm thinking of you today as I know how hard today can be. So I will go and have my decaf coffee while my partner enjoys a wine, I'll tuck into an enormous bar of chocolate because sometimes you just deserve a treat, and I will curl up on the sofa with my other half and hope that maybe, I'll see one more dream come true. Go and do something nice just for you today, I think you all deserve it. xx

Thanks for the lovely message to us all!! I knew coming on here would cheer me up a little. Personally I'm having a big lie in today, so am browsing my phone in bed and this site was my first port of call. I'm just glad it's sunny so me and my husband can go out and do something nice hopefully or I'd just mope about like mad all day. I'm in between ivf cycles and just finished my period so am going to have naughty stuff today, some alcohol, maybe some rare steak, chocolate, whatever treats I fancy to try and battle the blues. I'm grateful for so many other things in my life so will think of those and try to appreciate them as much as possible. Lots of love to you and everyone else on here 💗 Xx

Enjoy your lie in, u deserve it! Go for it on the naughty stuff too, we're always being so strict with ourselves & I think sometimes we need (& deserve) to give ourselves a little break. Great advice to focus on the good things you do have in life, well done for being so positive.

Enjoy your day out in the sun, I live in Sydney so it's bedtime here, they celebrate Mother's Day in Australia on a different day so I get a double hit!! Wooppeedoo! I'm turning my phone to silent and ignoring all Instagram posts from my friends & family back in the Uk as I'm making today about me, my chocolate bar and my lovely man!

Thanks for your message and I wish you all the very best on your next ivf cycle. 😘

I couldhave not had the extra bits but i did i think i kinda deserved. As we went out of the shop i had a corn munching on it and fanta and i fell flat on my face so embrassing so that made me think well i defo did deserve the kfc 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
