Rubbish day

[AJJ123]

This year I set out a goal, to be as healthy as I could exercise regularly and feel good about myself.

This month has gone out the window, I'm eating crap and have done zero exercise.

I’m on letrozole and I just know it’s not going to work and this time next month (after my final dose) I’ll be facing IVF.

I’m really scared that nothing will work, not even IVF because the cards are stacked against me before I even start - that if it works out for a little while it will end up in failure.

Really down today.

I’ve been like this lately, I told myself to be on my game, healthy eating, no snacks and exercise and it hasn’t really happened. I’m trying to do better but there has been 0 exercise! I think we are too hard on ourselves sometimes, and forget how hard things can actually be. Praying things get better for you & you come back stronger than ever. x x

Sometimes you just need to try and be semi happy in it all! Don’t beat yourself up over what you’ve eaten this past few weeks! Change it now if that’s what you feel will help your mind! The whole thing is so hard, please don’t make it harder by beating yourself up! You are doing the best you can! Feel the pain of the crap days then hope for a brighter day tomo! No point lying when you feel crap ya feel crap and it’s not because of no reason! Ivf is so hard! Be kind to yourself 💐💐💐💐💖💖💖😘😘😘😘 thats an order ! 🤣😘💖💖💖💐💐💐💐

Hi AJJ. Oh dear, you sound quite down. Just remember that Letrozole and Clomid are not for everyone, people have to progress to IVF. Don't let yourself go, as you need to be in good nick to have IVF which might just be what you need. It could be the Letrozole talking and letting you down, but do try and be strong. Thinking of you.

Thanks Diane, feeling a bit more upbeat and concentrating on decorating - I’ll get back to exercising tonight plus I’ve started taking vitamins again (as of this afternoon) x

Hope you already get over with that feeling of despair and yes our bodies sometimes doesn’t work according to plans and we need to relax and let it process as ivf medications are all very strong on our bodies and we can’t be more hard on us by playing according to hard and fast rules and healthy schedule although it’s good to follow that up but please be kind at yourself and May Allah almighty bless you a beautiful baby Ameen

Thank you shia123 . I don’t know what it is that’s wrong with me this week. Could be the medication I suppose, I never really thought it would affect me this way (fingers crossed things work out in the end for all of us). It just might take time Xx
