Thought things were going so well...finally finished my degree, walked straight into a manager position in the same area as my degree. Spent two weeks there and my manager has told me tonight that there are not enough children coming into the club so can't keep it running....TWO WEEKS!! the stupid thing is is we have had so many more parents noticing we are there and asking if their kids could join and the bookings picking up over the next two weeks and they decide to CLOSE wtf??

😭 I am stressed to the max and only 3 days into my tww, OH is totally stressed because he is also due to start a new job so we literally have no money for at least two months, and this was also my lifeline into having more money for IVF and now I need another f**king job fast 😭

I know, I was so stressed and crying after she told me, I'm even more scared I have caused harm to emby. No she did not know about my treatment thankfully. X

Aw honey, really sucks beyond belief.

can your clinic help with any counseling? I ask as mine offered it free as part of the package of care, they may have help.

Agree with Nut on making a plan but make sure you get some support too. Tmrw is another day, you can't harm am emby with tears but stay hydrated and keep busy xx

BREATHE!!!!

It’s a shitty set of circumstances and the timing is awful but stressing will not help anything or benefit you in your 2ww.

I’ve been there, when everything feels like it’s crumbling round you, you just have to take control of what you can so you can keep calm and positive. Make some lists, update your CV, register with all the agencies in your area, make a plan for the money you do have and don’t focus on your next round before this one is over.

How awful for you. Try and stay calm and talk your options through with o/h and try to plan ahead (as far as poss). Can family help short term until you o/h starts his new job?

I had a major major amount of stress put on me during my last frozen cycle (I wont go into detail), the stress was so bad I could’t eat, I had over the phone counselling almost every other day, GP was ringing me, midwife had put me on a ‘check on’ list, it was life changing and I was sure my stress and anxiety had hurt my embie/little babe. Now I look at him running rings around me at home, bossing me around. He’ll be 3 in December. Although stressing is out of your control to some extent, if you’re a natural born stresser you will stress no matter what people say; embies are strong little things and can withstand a lot. Let it out and hopefully things will get sorted out very soon for you xxx

Oh no! How annoying and stressful for you.

I think for now, while your in 2ww you need to try and keep focused on that. There is nothing you can do at the moment regarding work. Your health is the main thing, I know it's easier said than done though.

Hoping everything gets sorted for you asap. xx
