Oh my goodness. I think the biggest hurdle of ivf is actually your mind. Can I eat this? Should I eat that?
Need a 💩 can’t push or the embryo might explode out my arse right down the pot. Dropped a wrapper- leave it there! if you bend you might squash it. Did I drink enough water? Did I drink too much water. Did i move enough. 🤦♀️🤦♀️
It’s amazing how your mind goes into over drive. Best check google and see if I can have a cup of tea, might be safer to just lick the tea bag.
I am not going down this path. Or I may go bonkers. Strong mind. We are warriors after all. Now where’s that packet of maltesers I’m bloody well having one xxx

Haha! A rare hilarious post about IVF 😂 No wonder it affects people’s mental health… Congratulations on getting the transfer over with. For what it’s worth the only things I was careful with in successful cycle was “lifting anything heavier than a kettle”, alcohol (but you’ll be well used to that 🤦♀️) and walking fast (in the couple of days after transfer). But boy did I enjoy my food & drink in the 2WW. 😋 Come on little embie 🤗
Ha! So funny. I've not had a transfer yet but I can imagine this would 100 percent be me... crawling around the house at the pace of the snail and squatting to unload the dishwasher so I don't bend. The things we do for IVF eh?
Hahaha thank you for making me laugh so hard 🤣🤣 it is so true! Also suddenly craving the things you should not eat (sushi, lots of soft cheeses etc). Chocolate will just have to do 😅
I can completely relate to this lol. When my partner had her transfer I was googling everything . And neally 7 weeks pregnant I'm still the same 🤣🤣 plenty of water is good . And hope you stopped at mcdonalds after for the frys😆😆
Haha! I have to admit I have such bad digestive issues I was also like - argggh can my bowels cramping cause the embryo to come out but nope! Apparently not! Phew! I agree - definitely time to open that packet of maltesers!
This made me laugh and glad it's not just me. My mind went mental during TWW. 'Should I light the yankee candle what about the paraphens' ' I can't use nail varnish what about the chemicals!!' 😂 good luck with the tww i hope it is successful x
I really hope you ate the whole bag of maltesers!! 😂 Anyone who has had IVF can relate to this entirely.
On my third round I completely relaxed about what to eat and drink (obviously except for alcohol) as it was in the run up to Christmas and I thought I’d deprived myself enough already and stressed out enough on the first two unsuccessful rounds. The third round was my BFP so I think there’s something to say for trying to relax and treat yourself. Wishing you all the luck xx
