IVF is so hard emotionally and physically. I’m personally really struggling after my 4th BFN 😢 Looking after yourself with self care is really important. Thought I’d share this picture. 🤗😘

It was a tough decision to carry on during this time but I wanted to do it for my dad 😓 and with our age we can’t hang around. Not feeling strong at the moment but the fact we keep going shows we are.

That’s a great start. Best of luck. Xx
