I saw this as I chilled admiring our 20 week scan photos. Very emotional and good on her! x

[Hidden in reply to WeeMrsH]

Ya good on her is what I thought. A lot of people struggling alone.

Ah congrats on your 20 week scan! Xxx

MAde me cry, it’s such a shame that people think they can’t talk about it, we didn’t openly talk about ours, we only choose to tell 5/6 people

It’s so surprising how many of us are going through this xx

[Hidden in reply to Leesalou]

We didn't tell anyone and we will never tell anyone I think.....

So many going through it and so misunderstood....

Xxx

[Leesalou in reply to Hidden]

I’ve told a few more since because they asked and I didn’t see the point in lying, when I get round to it I’m doing a scrap book for my son when his older to see how he got here,

It’s very misunderstood say I’m glad I had the support of this amazing group the 2nd time round x

[Hidden in reply to Leesalou]

Yes this group has been a god send

This pregnancy is natural so I didn't want confused people talking about a previous failed IVF - We wanted to just focus on this pregnancy.

Let's see what happens! We might need our embie in the freezer for the future 😀.

I didn't care how we got pregnant - IVF or otherwise 😃

[Leesalou in reply to Hidden]

How far are you? My little boy is now 6 months well will be on 6th, x

[Hidden in reply to Leesalou]

Only 17 weeks!!!! I am very impatient 🤣 awww congratulations - he must be super cute at 6 months!

Xxx

[Leesalou in reply to Hidden]

There’s a couple of pictures on my page he is very cute and despite being poorly with a cold his still happy smiley and content

It soon go by I really miss my bump and the while pregnancy I didn’t enjoy it at the time as I was always worried something would go wrong x

[Hidden in reply to Leesalou]

I am anxious - but trying to enjoy it too. Will feel better after 20 week scan hopefully.

Yes I did see the photos! Very cute!!

[Leesalou in reply to Hidden]

Thank you 😊

Are you going to find out the sex,

Xx

[Hidden in reply to Leesalou]

Yes we plan to - but not tell family and friends and keep it a surprise for them.

I watched this and was pleased to see someone taking so openly about it. It’s so true about the waiting room aswell. I always feeling like talking to people, but most just sit looking at the floor. It would be good if the clinics did some group therapy meetings I think for woman, to catch up face to face with others going through the same thing xX

[Hidden in reply to Clover5]

Yes I agree - our clinic was so miserable and cold and the staff were rude and detached.

Now we are at the antenatal clinic and everyone is lovely and other patients acknowledge each other!

There should be a talking group set up like NCT for people TTC with issues - was so true.

[Loulav]

I'll get it on catch up. Thanks for that x

[Claire_Mitch]

Yes, I saw this - it was fab. I was unsure whether to watch as I thought it might put it all in a purely positive light, which really gets my goat as it means people who haven’t gone through it don’t appreciate the emotional pain involved, but she was so honest and encapsulated the emotional pain and the challenges we face. Good on her 💕 xxx

I just wanted to say that I just watched this interview on catch up and it’s a lovely interview, very open about the realities of the ivf process but hopeful too, thanks for posting about it xx
