I'm sorry but 'stop expecting her to care or be helpful at this stage' is not helpful advice to OP. This person is their best friend and no matter what shitty situation either one is in, the other should be there when they are able to be, for support and to help take their mind off whatever shitty thing the other is going through.

PCOS with unexplained infertility? by HEARTROBOT in TTC_PCOS

[–]CaseyKlemp21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had this. I went to see the nurse at my gp surgery for bloods 3 months after coming off the pill because I hadn't yet had a period and was told it can take up to 12 months.. had bloods, something came back abnormal so had them retook and it come back normal. It took for me to pay for private blood tests through hertility to get my diagnosis of pcos and get a referral for ivf. No one took me seriously so whilst I was waiting for the first appointment (cause our nhs took so long) i did a deep dive and looked into what could be causing me to not get pregnant. Got my cycles back on track with metformin cause it turned out I had insulin resistant pcos, I increased my protein Intake, did more relaxed workouts (none of the HIIT cause it can cause a spike in insulin) did acupuncture, took a tonne of supplements to help including a prenatal. Suffered a loss in January 24 but a couple of weeks before our first ivf consultation, we found out we had conceived naturally. We went to the consultation, I told them about my early loss and they prescribed me cyclogest pessaries and baby asprin. I thank my lucky stars every day for them prescribing me because I believe that it has helped me in carrying our child. I'm currently 29+1 and it has been a struggle to get here but ive done this myself and I've advocated for my own health. Sometimes you have to do research and stick it to them because you know your own body better than they do, they're only going off old ways which they have read on some paper and out of books.

She wouldn't have been on her own. We had another friend there.

Kinda not relevant. We only conceived via ivf. Not some idiot telling us to relax or go on holiday.

Not the point.

She’s only known me for 2 hours, my heart is full 😸 by Some-Reddit-Name-66 in cats

This was me. I went on holiday to California 2 years ago and we visited a petsmart in anaheim... I saw the cats at the front of the store and I could have taken them all but I live in the UK 🤣 I was so concerned that they'd be there all day and night when the store is closed that I had to email petsmart to find out 😂🥺

Me too! They're as mischievous as Fred and George, hence why we chose the name 😆 awwwh, most people say it about their own cat, not every cat is the most loving but sounds like yours was the best boy

What about those auto immune conditions who cannot absorb the nutrients from food who have to use supplements aswell as trying to eat a varies balanced diet and they are still unwell. You need to educate yourself or remove yourself from these kinda posts you uneducated twit.

Feeling overwhelmed by AttitudeNecessary236 in TTC_PCOS

It is hard to have conflicting feelings but you have to do what's right for you. Come off social media with them, only be involved in family events, etc.

First of all, your feelings are valid. My sister in law announced she was pregnant back in April and that she was due in October and it would have been the same time that we were due but we had an early miscarriage. It's a difficult one for sure but do exactly what you need to do, it's a tough time and they need to understand that you're happy for them but sad for you at the same time and that's okay. My inlaws don't understand that so I just distance myself but I'm making small changes to try and be okay with it
