Definitely losing it!

Was just walking the dog & when a couple of lambs saw my dog (he was on a lead so couldn't get to them) they ran over to their mum for protection & they all stood there looking at us - a little family, all protecting each other! Well I started welling up! I mean, c'mon - I'm jealous of a sheep now! Lol, just thought I'd share, as I'm sure I'm not the only one in our situation who's got emotional unexpectedly?....

I know it is bittersweet, but the 'jealous of a sheep' part of your story really made me giggle (no offence intended!)

I am a sad sap anyway...I can't watch the Brookes Donkey Appeal ads on telly without dissolving into floods of tears! Hubby quickly changes the channel now 😬

But infertility/treatment/drug regimes/hormones and all the loaded emotion, makes reactions like yours totally normal. It is instinctual...that sense of unity, love and belonging that comes from family. I have had a few 'heart in the throat' moments like you describe over the years. I hope that wonderful and overpowering sense of family will be a certain part of your - and all the other amazing ladies on here - future. Xxx

I can relate to this. I cried at a Jet 2 ad tonight. Nuclear family, mum, dad, 2 kids. I'm never going to have this

Aww Hannah I can relate to you. I think baby lambs make me more broody than when I look at human babies 😂😂 I would never have actually said that out loud but your post seemed appropriate xx

"I'm jealous of a sheep now!"

This made my day, thank you :)

Well, in comparison, you still able to have children in one or either way, even with infertility troubles. So do not worry, all should be fine and next time you`ll show them your own children :)
