It’s never going to end 😥

I saw my friend yesterday who is only 2 weeks (naturally!!) behind where I would be now had our IVF have worked. I saw the perfect little bump I would of had by now & the excitement her & her husband are feeling. This is a pain I know is always going to be there as I’ll always know every step of her journey is where I should have been 2 weeks before. And even as I’m standing writing this I can feel the all too familiar twitches in my tummy of my period about to start. Why did life have to become so cruel??

It’s just so unfair isn’t it! But we just need to hope that our time will come 💕

Yeah it sucks, I see saw between sadness and anger. I did my first IVF round 1 week behind a friend doing her 1st round. She got a BFP and I didn’t 😭 she’s now 6mths pregnant with twins and I haven’t seen her at all, can’t bear the thought of it. And don’t get me started on all the people who get pregnant naturally 😤 yep there’s the anger coming out again!! I have to actively avoid going there in my brain each day as it’s just too painful, comparison is the death of joy, the saying is something like that and it’s true. Instead I’m trying to focus on hope xx

I feel your pain. It is the toughest journey especially when a friend is reminding you of what you aren't yet experiencing. Don't give up.....I am on my Stimms working towards transfer no6. I've read so many positive stories that have kept me going and don't lose hope. Our turn will come. X

I feel for you and understand as I am in the same position. My friend had the same due date as I had and it was on 11th July. She will soon have her little bundle in her arms and mine will be empty. Be kind to yourself and spend time with friends that make you feel good and are supportive. It's such a painful and what feels like never ending journey. We are all in the same boat though xx
