‘Hooray’ for my period (for once!) / effect of hormones

So I came on my first period today post ivf cycle being abandoned. It’s over a week later than they said it would be and I think the hormones have been building up big-style. Reading my last post now I feel amazed by the power of the negativity those hormones bring for me. I always feel very low the day before my period but that was intense - yesterday I could not stop crying and saw everything through my ‘sad specs’.

Today life is already brighter!

I guess we need to remind ourselves that we experience many of the ‘lows’ ivf brings through that exhausted and hormonal lens which is magnifying. With a bit of recovery and time we can see things differently and will be able to cope better with the challenges.

‘Hooray’ for my period (for once!)

Great news! I remember that horrible feeling of limbo waiting for first period to feel like I could move on and put it behind me! So glad you now can! Hooray! Such a lovely sunny day too! Here’s to new starts x
