How I'd spent most of my life desperately trying not to get pregnant, finding a fertility doctor, the testing phase and discovering that we'd been trying at the wrong time for six months...
Friendly reminder of how awesome and brave and strong you are 💪 It's so brave to share what you've been through, M. You've been on an incredibly difficult journey and it makes me deeply sad (and mad, frankly!!) to read how inhumane some of the professionals you interacted with were. Looking forward, I am so darn excited for you and Victor. Sending you big hugs and nothing but positive vibes for the final stretch of your pregnancy.
Thank you lovely Meg! Yes the attitudes of many of the healthcare professionals we encountered was really shocking… It’s an incredibly vulnerable experience, so an unsympathetic doctor certainly exaggerated our emotions… I hope we just got unlucky! X
Thank you for sharing. IVF is awful and I also felt it brought out the worst in me. Fortunately we survived and we have children but the unseen cost is enormous, and I always think this is underplayed. Thank you for talking about it and wishing you everything of the very best.
Thank you for your comment & and thank you! Yes, there’s a huge unseen cost that unless you go through it, you have no idea of the repercussions on the body, mental health & relationships. I also felt that I couldn’t complain too much as I chose to go through it & had the opportunity to go through it. It’s so nuanced.. So glad to hear your experience was a happy ending! X
This was very hard to read as I know what you were going thru and how horrid and painful the procedures were but you are so strong and part Viking and your strength and perserverance paid off. I am so proud of you and so happy that you will be having the long awaited child and that you have made me a Grama. Well done Bebe ❤️❤️❤️
