That's a wrap....

[Dreams1982]

So OTD is here and we got a BFN as expected. Now it's time to move on with our lives and stop chasing for our rainbow 🌈 baby.

This has been the craziest 4 years on this IVF journey and you guys have been completely amazing with your love, support, advice and I've been lucky enough to make some lifelong friends too. At times especially recently when this journey has been a dark place for me but I had an amazing support system around me and for that il always be eternally grateful xx

We have been truly blessed with our son from our very first transfer but we will never forget our 3 other angels who never quite made it. I just want to say to those of you who are still on this crazy roller-coaster... Have faith, be kind to yourselves and only you know when it's time to stop trying xx 😘 😘

Sending you all so much love, luck & baby dust xx

I’m so sorry it wasn’t better news but understand why you need to move on, you definitely gave it your best chance. Delighted you have your miracle son (not that makes it easier.) we are going to try for a sibling for our daughter but with the attitude if it happens great but it’s also just as okay just being the 3 of us I can relate to a certain extent to your post think you are very brave to call it a day. Very sorry for your losses. 😢 I wish you & your family a wonderful life together xxx

Thank you for your lovely message Hidden xx it's a hard and emotionally draining journey and I just don't have it in me to carry on xx now we can defo concentrate on our little Ray of sunshine and just be grateful everyday for his blessing xx sending you lots of luck on your journey xx

Hi dreams, I’m so sorry this last little embryo didn’t make it like you hoped. You are so brave taking the decision to move on, such a hard thing to do for so many of us here. Good luck with this process, sending lots of love xx

[Dreams1982 in reply to Shirazlover2013]

Thank you Shirazlover2013 xx I thought I'd find it so hard saying I'm done but after all the cancelled cycles in the last 6 mths I think it really helped me make that decision with my hubby of course as it really put me in a dark place mentally. But I wish you so much love and luck with your journey xx

[Sprinkles86]

We too were blessed with a son from our first round (he was our last frostie) and we both agree we won’t go through it all again, so totally understand the need to move on. Sending lots of love to you both, it’s not an easy decision xxxx

[Dreams1982 in reply to Sprinkles86]

Thanks Sprinkles86 I just want to enjoy the blessing we have and just stop all the worrying of finding more money, making excuses of why I can't do anything or go out and everything else that comes with each ivf cycle xx I want back my relationship with my husband because it takes its toll on us both xx it's the right time I guess xx 😘

[RhinoCat]

😘 brave soldier.

Sending you and the husband the biggest hug. You will never look back and regret this journey. I am so glad you have your precious little ray of sunshine and have made some lifelong friends along the way . May you immediately feel the release from the never ending rollercoaster of the ivf journey . No more of this nightmare , you are free to exhale, and go quietly on .

Wish I could hug you in person 😘

Thank you for returning the support to the rest of us. 💐💖😘

Peace and richest blessings to you three. I don’t know if you’ve ever read that bit from the Bible, or heard it , about the rope or cord? And strength being in the number 3, but it has just popped into my head . 😘

“By yourself you’re unprotected. With a friend you can face the worst. Can you round up a third? A three-stranded rope isn’t easily snapped.”

‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Love and tight hugs to you

Strong and brave soldier,

Stand down

😘

So sorry for your news and wish you every happiness and peace with your decision to move on. The ivf journey is so draining and puts some joys on stop and yet it isn't guaranteed. Enjoy your new journey. X

[Dreams1982 in reply to Kwags]

Thank you Kwags xx thank you for your lovely message xx

[ttcemmie]

Sorry to hear that it's a BFN. You are so strong to make the decision to move on. This journey can be all-consuming (and dark at times), and yet the decision to move on is not a light one. Enjoy the start of a new journey for you and your family, and thank you for your words. x

[Dreams1982 in reply to ttcemmie]

How have you tagged my name in a post btw?! Haven't worked out how to do that.

[Cinderella5]

I'm so sorry! For your little Angel's that you lost and that you didnt manage a sibling for your little man! Best of luck going forward though, at least you know you tried your best and your little lad has fabulous parents that love him very much. Hugs.xx

[Dreams1982 in reply to Cinderella5]

Thank you Cinderella5 xx I know that we did as much as we could and it's time to enjoy our little boy growing up and doing things with him xx sending you lots of love & luck xx 😘

[Solly-44]

Oh love, I’m so sorry.

I think the most important act of self preservation and self kindness in this game, is knowing when to call it a day. It takes huge courage and strength. Move on knowing you gave it everything, and I hope you find your peace. Xx

[Dreams1982 in reply to Solly-44]

Thank you Solly-44 xx I'm definately sure this is the right thing I do feel kind of a peace with our decision and we have no what ifs xx 😘

[Picalilli99]

I’m so sorry that your last little embie didn’t work. So sad. And so sorry that you have had so many losses along the way on this brutal, testing journey. You clearly are one strong lady! I am so pleased that you have your miracle little one and that you can be at peace with your decision to stop, after giving it your absolute all. That is a decision that takes huge strength and courage and I salute you. Wishing you peace and happiness moving forward, free from the reigns of the IVF rollercoaster (e.g. of fear, excitement, hope, joy, disappointment, heartbreak). Big hugs ❤️xxx

[Dreams1982 in reply to Picalilli99]

Aww thanks lovely xx 😘 it's definately the right thing for us xx although now the thought of asking for a hysterectomy is my next hurdle so wish me luck lol xx

[Core]
