the journey

as someone who has been on this journey for a lonnnnng time I wanted to just write a few things.

We have been ttc for 12 years

Ivf for 5 years

5 transfers and a number of cancelled cycles, nothing to transfer cycles, didn’t defrost cycles. We, after moving to donor are finally on our path. Not there yet though.

I read so many posts about testing and what you’re feeling in the 2ww and honestly please please don’t go down the google path. It will lead to nothing more than a mind f**k.

everyone is completely different, every pregnancy/embryo is different. What you are or aren’t feeling during the 2ww is completely individual. If you dwell on each feeling I swear it will be the longest 2 weeks ever.

As for testing if you can ….. don’t. It honestly leads to so much more heartache. Even if it is a positive sitting looking at different days tests to work out if it’s darker will only lead to you losing your mind. If your beautiful little embryo is going to implant … it will.

His journey is so hard. It’s important to know that you are not alone. You are strong brave and amazing.

You’ve got this xxx

You are clearly so strong and brave 🥰. I can’t imagine the journey and emotional rollercoaster you’ve been on for the last 12 years. 3 has been torturous enough.

I couldn’t agree more with the testing, I’ve come to learn that they don’t really mean anything. Yeah they give you an indication of being pregnant or not but there’s so much more to it than that and they are cruel, cruel things in my opinion! Like you say, your body is going to do what it’s going to do and you have no control over that which is a bitter pill to swallow.

Sending you so much love and strength xxx

I have so much respect for you and thanks for the pointers you are right. I’m so sorry you had to go through this so many time. You are indeed brave & strong. My take away “If it is going to implant it will”. I really hope you get your miracle soon.love & light to you!
