Struggling

Feels like everywhere I go I see babies and it just makes me feel like I don’t want to go out

Hey Smudge267! I know the feeling, i work with 0-4 year olds so can never seem to escape it. I dont really have any advice but just wanted to let you know your not alone! Sometimes the cinema in the evening can be a good shout as you're very unlikely to see any babies / young children there. 😘

I work with young children to x having to have time off at the moment though as feel so stressed

Thats good you're having some time off! I am off myself too, couldnt face work whilst going through ivf, too stressful! X

Definitely not alone on this one, I don’t have any advice on how to cope with it either sorry but I see them everywhere to. I think because of the journey we go on we’re a lot more tuned in to spotting pregnant ladies and babies which just makes it even harder x

I haven’t even started ivf yet x

Are you on the waiting list? Its so hard just waiting all the time. It feels like all we do is wait whilst others fall pregnant seemingly without difficulty though I know thats not always the reality either. I think it does feel better during treatment as you feel like you're doing something about it. Hopefully you dont have to wait too much longer xx

Hey,

I know it's really difficult and wish I had an answer. I'm 11 days into down reg and had been feeling tired but positive until yesterday I was given the news that my cousin is 12 weeks pregnant and I cried on and off all day. I have a really big family with constant pregnancy announcements and had twin nieces on 22nd Dec,some days I can visit and other days I cant face seeing them or photo's of them, I joke that I want to divorce my family at times!!

All we can do is stay positive but I know that's easier said than done.

Xx
