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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 profile image
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

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

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 profile image
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

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
