worried about running out of time

[A_Fortune]

hello ladies,

last month, for the first time in my life, I was pregnant - and it felt amazing. Unfortunately, I started bleeding a couple of days before my first scan and when we got there I was told I had probably had an early miscarriage. It was soul crushing.

That was a FET and our second and last embryo from our very first cycle.

I am now 38 years old and have no clue when will I be able to do another cycle of IVF (a lot happening in our lives right now and money is a concern).

I feel like there isn’t much I can do right now and sometimes feel quite anxious thinking time is running out for me.

I guess I don’t really have a question, but instead I just wanted to vent and maybe hear about your experiences?

Thank you for being out there!

I have no advice - but all I can say is you are under 40 and that gives you time. I am 42 and we were very aware of the pressure and feeling of having no time....

Hope it works whatever you decide to do! X

So sorry for your loss. You do have time on your side, 38 is considered young now. I think often we feel out of control when we aren’t able to crack on with a cycle. Maybe use this time to focus on getting in the best shape for the next round whenever it comes? At least that way you feel like you are going something positive towards your dream rather than treading water? Lots of hugs to you, it sucks xx
