Totally unrelated to IVF 🐶

[E_05]

For Christmas my dogs got a photo shoot and we could be included, 2 weeks ago when we went I felt so nervous this isn’t how our first photo shoot was meant to be, it was meant to be me holding my baby.

I received the photos last night and this is one of my faves 😍 It also made me realise how grateful I am to these dogs, without them I’m honestly not sure where I’d be. Even though my first ‘proper’ photos aren’t how id always planned, I have to be so grateful for the people in my life I do have.

Time to pull up positive pants and get ready for my hysteroscopy and cycle 5 in March 🤞

Ps. Apologise this is nothing IVF related, I just had to share xx

[Hidden]

I love it 😍 your dogs are so cute ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing it’s lovely. I’m sorry for your loss too- it’s hard I’ve been there. All the best for your next ivf cycle really hope it’s your time 🌈 xoxo

[E_05 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, so sorry for you loss to. Hopefully 2018 brings lots of little rainbows xx

[Amanda86]

What a beautiful photo! Your dogs are absolutely gorgeous!! 😍 xxx

[E_05 in reply to Amanda86]

Thank you xx

[Franco81]

Ah thanks for sharing your gorgeous photos, they really are our best friends aren’t they! I had egg collection yesterday and cuddling up with my golden retriever after definitely helped.

Good luck for the next steps and hopefully with your little friends there, tails wagging, they’ll keep you feeling positive x

[E_05 in reply to Franco81]

Thank you, hope your resting after EC and good luck for your call today 🤞x

[Franco81 in reply to E_05]

Thank you, my clinic don’t actually update us until two days after so I have another day to wait! Ahhhh. Feeling much better physically today though so trying to keep busy x

[Hidden]

Lovely pic they look like they are holding paws 🐾❤️

Would be lost without our dog 🐶 xx

[E_05 in reply to Hidden]

I know think that’s why I like it so much, they’ve always got our backs 😍 xx

[Hidden]

Oh My! They are gorgeous xx

[E_05 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you xx

[Hidden in reply to E_05]

How are you doing? xx

[E_05 in reply to Hidden]

I’m okay thanks, decided I owe it to my babies to keep positive for this next cycle and put my all into it. Waiting to find out if I ovulate naturally to see if I can go for a natural FET 🤞 how are you? Xx

[Hidden in reply to E_05]

Do you know when you are likely to start your next cycle or is that dependent on your ovulation test results? When do you find out? You absolutely need to go into it with lots of positivity - as hard as it may be at times. Wishing you lots of luck. xx

I'm not bad thanks. I had a good break and managed to stop thinking about fertility stuff for a while, however, I did have a wobble on Sunday! But, we got our appointment through for the new clinic yesterday - we go on 13th February! I am nervous but excited that things are starting to move forward again. xx

[E_05 in reply to Hidden]

I’m having a hysteroscopy end of Feb so can start after that, it’ll either be natural or medicated depending on results of ovulation, got another scan Friday to see what’s going on.

I’m glad you did, I think we all need that. Wobbles are okay, lots of luck for your appt hope it answers some questions for you xx

[Hidden in reply to E_05]

Thank you. Good luck with your scan and moving forwards with your cycle. Will keep everything crossed for you xx

[Hidden]

Beautiful dogs , id be totally lost with out my too as Well, one of mine is a total idiot and makes me laugh every day .

Sending you lots of luck xx

[E_05 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, sounds like Marley the one on the right. Safe to say he didn’t take to posing quite as well 😂 hope your doing okay xx

[cupcakesparkles83]

Such beautiful dogs 😍 I find animals therapeutic. Our dog is crackers but adorable. She knows when you're sad or anxious and knows to comfort you. They're so tuned in to you

[E_05 in reply to cupcakesparkles83]

Definitely, there so amazing!

[Positive2022]

Your dogs are absolutely beautifu thanks so much for sharingl. I'd be so lost without my 2 cats. They never fail to bring a smile to my face. I do hope your next cycle goes well and wishing you every success. Sending love and BIG hugs xxx

[E_05 in reply to Positive2022]

Thank you, how’s clomid going? Xx

[Positive2022 in reply to E_05]

I have to ring this afternoon to find out blood test results and whether i need to change. TBH i'm not holding my breath that it will work but trying to stay hopeful. Wish side effects weren't so bad. I've lost several kg in weight simply through sickness and lost appetite xxx

[E_05 in reply to Positive2022]

That’s not good, hopefully they’ll agree to change your medication 🤞let us know how you get on xx

[Positive2022 in reply to E_05]

Thanks lovely. Will do and take care xxx

[TTCs]

Fab love it. I love my dog to bits. ❤

[Ang24816]

Aww little angels. They're stunning 😍 we've two cats who honestly have helped us enormously throughout this whole process. Little gifts aren't they xx

[E_05 in reply to Ang24816]

Thank you, they definitely are xx

[Tugsgirl]

They are beautiful. I feel the same way about my bunnies. Thank you for sharing xx

[E_05 in reply to Tugsgirl]

Thank you, hope your giving your bunnies a hug now seen your post and all your dealing with again xx

[Tugsgirl in reply to E_05]

I will do later.. just got the letter then had to leave for work this afternoon. Just trying to take it all in xx

[Cinderella5]

Ahhh this is a gorgeous pic, looks like they're holding hands/paws.😍 You are sounding very positive, so well done you!!xx

[E_05 in reply to Cinderella5]

Thank you, I know think that’s why I love this one so much. Am definitely getting there feel I owe it to my babies to stay positive for this next cycle and give it my all. Hope your doing okay? Xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to E_05]

I'm good thanks. Just having lots of bloods today & hysteroscopy tomorrow. Fingers crossed they get to the bottom of why I can't get pregnant!

Absolutely owe it to yourself, positive pants firmly in place I would say!!xx

[E_05 in reply to Cinderella5]

Good luck for tomorrow, are you awake for your hysteroscopy? I’ve heard mixed opinions on how painful it is so please let me know if you don’t mind Xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to E_05]

I'm not going to be awake. As being mine done on Athens and that's what they do here so unfortunately can't help. I do know that locally at home they don't use anaesthetic and most women tolerate it pretty well.xx

[E_05 in reply to Cinderella5]

Oh okay thank you, hope it all goes well tomorrow xx

[AllWeNeedIsluv]

Lovely pic hun. 😍

Keep those positive pants High up Lovely 💗🤗😘

[E_05 in reply to AllWeNeedIsluv]

Thank you, how are you doing? Did the bleeding stop xx

[AllWeNeedIsluv in reply to E_05]

No hun. I was in hospital last night with Anamia. This loss has really took it out of me physically 💗🤗😘

[E_05 in reply to AllWeNeedIsluv]

Oh I’m so sorry. I was so hoping for positive news this week, hope your resting up xx

[AllWeNeedIsluv in reply to E_05]

No hun it happened on Friday night. I'm just trying to build my blood. 💗🤗😘

[E_05 in reply to AllWeNeedIsluv]

I know you take comfort in seeing the heartbeat but I’m so sorry you’ve been given even more heartache xx

[AllWeNeedIsluv in reply to E_05]

Thanks hun. It's just not meant to be for some reason. It will be one day though just need to give my body a rest now. It's been through too much in 6 month. I'm really feeling it now physically

💗🤗😘

[E_05 in reply to AllWeNeedIsluv]

I admire how positive you are, you right physically and I’m sure emotionally it’s been massive in a short space of time. I’m so glad you’ve got your holiday soon xx

[AllWeNeedIsluv in reply to E_05]

Isn't it I truly need it.

Thanks hun life's taught me lots and if I'm not positive I won't wake up every morning. 💗🤗😘

[Anna00]

Gorgeous dogs! Thanks for sharing with us it’s lovely! Sometimes it’s good to read something else instead of ivf,eggs,embryos..... xxx

[E_05 in reply to Anna00]

Thank you, that’s true. Hope your tww goes fast xx

[Anna00 in reply to E_05]

Thanks I hope so xx

[Violet5451]

They are gorgeous.. a little like my two (well same colour!) we had a scare last night. Our black dog missy bit the red dog (dudleys) colar and got it twisted in a figure of 8 in her mouth. She was crying with pain and was strangling him. He was yelping and gasping. Luckily after a minute of frantically trying to undo it and cut it my husband managed to pull the colar off her mouth. His eye is bright red and blood shot this morning. Scariest minute of my life. Made me realise how blessed I am to have them and how grateful I am. I’m sure you feel like this about yours. They are our angels from above sent to help us on this journey xxx

[E_05 in reply to Violet5451]

Oh bless them, that must of been awful for you all but I’m so glad there both okay. I definitely do, I always said I’d never have a dog until after my children but wouldn’t get through this journey without them xx

[Violet5451 in reply to E_05]

No nor would I! Bless the little four legged beauties xxx

[Dreamingofbaby]

Beautiful dogs!! Good for u for pulling up your positive pants. ☺️. Take good care 😊

[Dunla]

I love this photograph, such beautiful and well behaved doggies, I think I’m in love 😍 I totally relate to how you feel towards them. I’m the same with my wee dog. Same breed as yours too. We got her two and a half years ago after yet another failed cycle and she has brought so much love and focus into our lives. I would be lost without her. Glad to hear the positive pants are going on, take care xxx

[E_05 in reply to Dunla]

Aw thank you, your so right we got Tilly on the left after my first MMC she was as old as I would have been pregnant and I think she literally saved my life. Hope your doing okay xx

[Dunla in reply to E_05]

They’re wee angels, I know my girl helped me through some very difficult times too 😘x

[Kyell2]

This made me smile on the train home 😊 Such lovely dogs (and obviously a good photographer getting them both to look in the same direction) x

[E_05 in reply to Kyell2]

The power of food 🐽 haha hope your okay x

[Kyell2 in reply to E_05]

😂 the lure of doggy treats always helps! I’m good thanks, stuck in the midst of donor sperm selection hell, it’s not as easy as it sounds to choose one, the baby pictures definitely do not help 😩 x

[Aleelilook]

It’s all about the pooches!! They’re beautiful! Good luck for you next cycle lovely! Xxx

[E_05 in reply to Aleelilook]

Thank you, good luck to you as well! Did you decide to go for it this month? Xx

[Aleelilook in reply to E_05]

Yes we did, but my period is late!!!!😂xxx

[E_05 in reply to Aleelilook]

Oh no, always the way! Hope it arrives soon xx

[Hidden]

Absolutely love this photo I couldn't be with out my boy Ollie (cocker spaniel) 💙.

Hope your ok xx

[7AVA]

They’re gorgeous E_05 - so beautiful xxx

[E_05 in reply to 7AVA]

Thank you. How are you doing? Xx

[7AVA in reply to E_05]

I’m ok - how about you? Xx

[E_05 in reply to 7AVA]

Are you doing ahead with a natural FET? I’m okay thanks trying to keep positive for my next cycle 🤞 xx

[Hidden]

This is so great - what a happy photo. Really made me smile 😊 xxx
