My story | Sending love to you all 🤍

[PPea]

Dear all,

Will be starting IVF treatment as soon as my AF arrives in January, it should be around January 1st (lucky me).

I have a story of unexplained fertility, I had a miscarriage 10 years ago and I have never fallen pregnant again. The relationship ended and so my dreams of becoming a mother.

3 years ago, I started a new relationship and last year we spoke about having children (although it should be difficult...). We did 5 months of Clomid, my lining responded well, everything was good, but no fortunate outcome.

This month, I prepared myself for starting IVF treatment, but along the way I convinced myself that I was pregnant   sore breasts (that never happens to me on PMS) , some lower back pain, heartburn... but just took a test at 11 DPO and it was negative...what a disappointment! So frustrating, why do I do this to myself!!!

So now I have all the medication already, I'm feeling a bit anxious about so many injections and the way that my body will react to them, but where we go!!!

This is just a vent, really, and also the opportunity to send love, compassion and lots of virtual hugs to all of you that are in the same struggle.

Hope you had a warm and cozy Christmas and wishing you a great, wonderful 2023!

The injections aren’t too bad, you get used to them quick and it just means you’re finally getting there. Look after your mental health and your heart, it’s such hard going and some of the drugs (buserelin in particular) can make you feel really rubbish. Good luck, really hope you’re a unicorn xx

I was really stressed about injections and found day 1 hard! After that honestly it just becomes normal! Now I don’t even think about it. It’s exciting to be starting and I’m sending you positive vibes! Xx
