Not quite IVF.....

[Aleelilook]

UPDATE!

I got onto the course!!! I’m over the moon, but as always IVF seems to be getting in the way, and this is a big decision to make 😡😡😡😡 I hate always giving up things for this shi*** journey x

Hello lovelies, so we are going for our 6th round in a week - 2nd FET with donor eggs, and to say I’m excited and nervous is an understatement!!

But today is another nerve wracking day, today I’m going for an interview to do a Masters in Art Psychotherapy! I’ve taught for 10 years as a secondary school Drama teacher, and after nearly two years of ivf, 5 rounds and a miscarriage I realised at Christmas how miserable I was, and work was not helping. I’ve always wanted to do it, but once you’ve climbed the ladder it’s hard to jump off! In January I went on a sabbatical, but after our failure in February and the death of my best friends dad it was clear to me to take the plunge.

I’m very nervous, and excited!!🤨 and wanted to share this with you lovely people as this is a result of all the sh*t we’ve been through 😞

I hope you’re all as ok as we can ever be!

Thank you for reading my ramble as I sit on the tube biting my nails!! Xxx

Good luck!!! I hope your interview went well and I really admire you for going for it and striving for your dreams! Life is too short for regrets!! Please do not lose faith 🙏🏼 I’ve had numerous miscarriages, different kinds and at different stages of development but had success on my 6th cycle (not counting my chickens but blessed to be 10 weeks). All fingers crossed you’re 6th time lucky 🤞🏼🍀 xxx

Wow, so brave! I think your bravery will be rewarded, sounds like you are making a new life for yourself. I am constantly moved by the stories of courage from all the women here. Best of luck xx

Great, I am also going to try with donor eggs, as I have a low ovarian reserve. And it has pretty much lowered my chance of conceiving naturally? I know, the emotional toll gives you hard time coping with your daily routine, because it drains you so much. The stress though is a lot and hard to cope with. I am not going for the interview but I am still doubting my ability to respond to donor eggs. Anyways, I wish you luck and advise you not o worry too much. Focus on the positive side of everything. I wish you good luck with your interview and the FET cycle.

Awww Ive just seen your update! Can you not do the course now? I know what you mean, I feel like Ive given up so much recently that we went a bit crazy, booked a holiday and my husband got his dream motorbike🙈....he always said he wouldnt get one as you cant have kids and be racing around on a bike but not looking likely anytime soon! If you can juggle both then go for it! Pee's me off that we always have to pick one or the other!xx

[Aleelilook in reply to Cinderella5]

Ha! A motorbike, good for him! Well we are starting our FET when AF decides to rock up! So if this round works I wouldn’t be able to complete the first year, if it fails then we will have to find the money for more IVF 🤦🏼‍♀️😒 so I will defer and see what next year brings! I’m just bloody fed up as I was so excited to get onto an MA, but I need to remember I don’t have to give up this particular dream, just perhaps leave it until the bloody baby one is sorted!!!! Xxx

[Cinderella5 in reply to Aleelilook]

I know, what a man child eh?! Ha ha ha We were just getting so tired of not being able to start a transfer every month the passed with my stupid bloods that we just though F it!

Ahhhh I see where your thinking lies now! You're right though, that is definitely a dream that you can go back to at any age so yes positive thinking about that. Good news that your next transfer isnt too far away!xx

[Aleelilook in reply to Cinderella5]

Yeah I’m now very excited so know I’m ready to fight again!! Xxxx
