first counselling session after first failed cycle

We have our free counselling session with our clinic tomorrow, after our first ever failed cycle

What will the talk about? What should we talk about?

We have such mixed emotions and feeling and thoughts, are we expected just to say how we're feeling as it's kind of difficult.

Will they facilitate the conversations?

Hi luthien Firstly, sorry about your cycle I hope you are okay.

I recently had a counselling session following an early miscarriage which was over the phone. I was skeptical at first but the counsellor was so lovely and acknowledged how hard things had been for me and my husband but it wasn’t all doom and gloom. Although she initiated conversation I felt at ease so we spoke about baby loss and infertility but also our future plans (non fertility related) and even went on to both speak about our dogs. It is your session so you can use it how you wish, just don’t worry as they are there to support you and allow you to speak about anything you need.

Take care and I hope your session goes well. PM me if you have any other questions xx

Hi luthien. I think when you get there, you will find that you will just talk about anything. The counsellor will be concerned that you have plenty of support just now, an that you can hopefully look forward to what could still be, rather than what has happened. You will be in safe hands I'm sure. Hope it goes well. Diane

Hey dear, I belongs to Eastern Europe. I was really upset when I came to know about my failed cycle. Then one of my friend suggested for counselling. Glad to hear that counselling was helpful for you. Gearing up again is always tough but hopefully that support and time has made you stronger. I go for my 1st session on Thursday after 2nd failed cycle who recommended this forum to me. I found it helped get me in a good head space. Lots of luck for when you start. I hear a lot of positive stories from people have the scratch so it might be something to consider. The only reason I've not this cycle is cause my first fresh cycle I didn't and fell pregnant where as the 2x I had it were unsuccessful so even my consultant agreed I go against the 'norm'😆😂😂. I'm getting a little nervous but I think that's cause I'm putting more pressure on myself. I got good quality embryos last year and I'm worried but luckily got succeed. All wells that's end well 👍👍
