Fertility Waiting Game

Can I go to sleep until transfer day 😂🤪?

• 10 days post hysteroscopic surgery
• 9 days into hormone treatment to help grow my uterus 💜
• 13 days of hormones left

Guys 😅 these hormones are no joke! I’m tired and lazy, my acne is back, I have gained weight, my moods are EVERYWHERE… but it’s all worth it!

I’m not sure when transfer day will be. Our Doc is away on holiday in July so probably August 😁💛

Bailey has the right idea 🐾💤

What not to say to people with fertility problems.

It’s just not that simple for a lot of us 💛 If we could “just relax, stop thinking about it, have a lot of sex and let it happen when it’s meant to” then trust me, we would do that!

If you want to help, stop telling your friends who are having difficulty falling pregnant to just relax, keep having sex and eventually they will fall pregnant. Change the narrative! Lets start talking about infertility more openly. Education is key!

We still have quite a wait until our FET and Covid cases in our area are on the rise.

We’ve decided to keep our bubble small until our transfer date (hopefully mid August) to keep safe.

As difficult as it is to isolate, we just aren’t prepared to take the risk this close to the finish line. The rise in numbers is definitely scaring me. Luckily our clinic stays open even during lockdown, so we shouldn’t be delayed.

Currently on a double course of hormone pills to support my uterus after the operation. Another HSG x-ray is the next step after my period starts.

After months of prep, our frozen embryo transfer (FET) is finally in sight.

This has been by far the most incredible journey I have ever been on. Filled with highs and lows, I have learnt more about myself in the past few months than I thought possible.

I thought I would start feeling more excited and happy leading to transfer day but instead there is a deep anxiety building inside of me. I am over thinking almost everything and worrying about really small things.

There is still so much to get through before the FET, first up is the HSG to make sure my uterus is working properly now.

I’m desperately hoping this feeling goes away and I can start feeling excited again.
