My consultant warned me this would be my toughest cycle yet as I'm also taking steroids - well he was right the side affects are really getting me down. My hubby goes to work early and I just rang him down the phone crying telling him I don't think I can do it anymore. As always he provides his re assurance, I guess I knew I was due the emotional wobble at some point soon. The things we put ourselves through no one except you lovely ladies truly understands 😢
How do you keep going/manage when you feel like you've had enough? Xx

Thinking of you E_05! Just think it's not long left of your stimming and then it's egg collection. It's tough with all those meds but I keep seeing it as passing each little hurdle. Each scan is a ✅ I have my 3rd stimming scan today and then I'm onto egg collection. We can do this! 🍀🤞🏻💪🏻
Sorry to hear you have been feeling bad x i had a wobble last night whilst hubby injecting me. He told me to stop sobbing because the needle was in my tummy then got upset himself saying its all his fault and hates putting me through this. I felt awful for him. Its nobodys fault. Just rotten luck!
I find at times like this a bit of pampering doesn't go amiss. Also trying to see the end goal in sight. Very difficult! I hope you feel better soon x
Hiya, I had a really tough time when stimming. Gonal f made me feel like a hungover zombie, I caught a terrible sickness bug that lasted 5 days and my body didn't respond as well as we hoped and I was terrified of ec at the end of it...it was a lot to deal with! I ended up breaking up the bad days into 1hr slots and congratulated myself every hour for making it through!...I also planned treats for myself. Some for now, like takeaways or online shopping (when I was sick)...and longer term plans like day trips and holidays! I also didn't beat myself up for feeling sorry for myself and had a lot of pity parties which actually helped during the really bad times.
Remember nothing lasts forever...these feelings are temporary and you'll be worrying about something else in a few weeks time! xxx
Remember each stage is a massive goal..... I can do relate I have been having such mixed emotions too but remember you have your first scan soon & hopefully EC will be in sight not too far behind.
We can do this😀..... each injection is one step closer. Xx
Just take one day at a time. Have a good cry, a good rant amd be joked to yourself. It's such a difficult thing to go through. We're bound to have good and bad days. I think you have to just recognise the bad day for what they are and try to ignore them as much as possible. Sending you hugs xx
I'm ok. Been a bit jittery today like I get when due on but not due on just medicated up to the eyeballs. Had acupuncture today with a demon acupuncturist who was sticking the needles in so hard - she looked demonic when assuring me pain is good. She's only a temporary one til my other one comes back. She's scary! I'm glad it's Friday! Xx
Oh no that doesn't sound good especially when Acupunture is meant to be relaxing - hope your normal ones back soon. Definitely, try and have a relaxing weekend xx
I'm sorry you're feeling so sh*t. I don't really have any advice but just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you. You will get through this crappy moment like you have all the others you've had to deal with on this incredibly difficult journey...'This too shall pass' has become my new mantra! Xx
Sending you hugs hunny, we cope because we have to but just take it one day at a time, good luck with your cycle I have everything crossed for you x x x
Sending massive hugs, take each day at a time you will get there xxx
Just wanted to say I'm sorry you have been struggling. It's such a huge rollercoaster. I find for every bad day there is a moment or a thing that makes me smile, that is enough to get me through to next bad day.
If you ever need a chat I am always here. Thinking of you. Your doing so well and the medications will be playing havoc with your emotions too. Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend xxxx
Thank you all for your replies, it's lovely reading all your supportive messages. I took the advice and decided to take a bit of time out today, took the dogs over the fields and cleared my head and now gona have a chilled evening. One step at a time 🤞 xx
Sorry to hear you're having a rough time, but glad you got out & are feeling a bit brighter xx dog therapy hey?! U are so strong, but remember it's ok to have bad days. We're all here for you and are keeping everything crossed. Xx
Just sending a belated hug. Hope you are doing a bit better tonight. My go to during DR was dark chocolate and a long bath... that and quality time with furry friends does you the world of good when things are getting on top of you and you're wondering WTF you're doing to yourself. xx
