Today my last frozen embryo failed to recover from the thawing process. Today, instead of a transfer, I had mimosas for breakfast, husband and I went to a spa, and we finished a bottle of red I won the other month. My version of self-care. Infertility is too exhausting otherwise.

Follow up appt from my IVF in October been cancelled and pushed back multiple times. I feel like my frozen embryo has been taken hostage.... sick of waiting now.

Diagnosed with chronic depression. Embarassed. Sick of this journey. Sick of work. Sick of work blaming my fertility journey on my reaction to a very stressful job. Just a few of my thoughts today. I want to finish work and go to bed.

Bad news friday night. Little embryo didn't stick sigh. Had a big glass of red. One of many probably. Break needed until after Christmas. I'm exhausted.

Faint but Positive test Monday. Repeated this morning. Fainter. I'm absolutely gutted.

Brownish spotting 10days post transfer. I'm so anxious. Can I still be hopeful?!

2ww is nerve wracking after ET. Trying to ignore cramps, bloating, back aches, headaches etc because really its very much likely to be the progesterone pessaries. But my mind wants me to start panicking that it's my period coming.

Has anyone experienced abdominal distension that moves between pain & discomfort, following ET? I have been permanently quite swollen (but no weight gain so suspect its just air) for days. The only comfort is lying down.

Embryo transfer this morning. I feel so nervous and am trying to shift my logical brain to just being positive. I research stats etc too much for my own good...

How do I reduce egg collection bloat please?

Fitbit stress management score does make me laugh mind. I really enjoy the phrasing of offering "full breakdown" next to your score.

Minor inconveniences are now enough for me to burst out crying. My egg collection has been moved by a couple of days and I know logically why. But my emotional state said NOPE

Since being induced to birth my sleeping daughter, I now cry during every internal exam. Smears. IUI. IVF. Today the nurse give me a hug. I used to not cry, I used to not hug. I've changed.

Feels like life continues to knock me down when I make progress. My break was going so well. Honestly sick of it. Literally can't be fucked to go to work and be stressed. And then be stressed about being stressed. I get very little joy out of anything at the moment.

All my muscles hurt.

I'm that level of anger where you go inwards and silent. I didn't realise how close I was to the line. I don't know how to get rid of it. I have the worst thoughts and I can feel myself getting so pissed off with everything. I genuinely would love to feel content with life.

Husband and I having a TTC break. There hasn't been a month this year I haven't been on meds. My body and our minds need a break. Don't know if I am numb to it all but I'm OK with that decision for now.
