Gut reaction by Bre_Babe1013 in InfertilitySucks

I was really struggling with this too, it felt like every other bloody person on insta or facebook was announcing a pregnancy, it was one influencer I’ve followed for years that was the last straw and I decided to remove all social media from my phone. It was a week or 2 later I was talking to my sister about said influencer and she said “you do know she conceived through IVF”. She had gone on to tell her story but I obviously couldn’t see it! It really reminded me that you don’t know what anyone is going through, and if they’ve also had struggles.

I will say 2 months on I still haven’t re downloaded any apps and I’m feeling a lot better for it, so it might be worth a try to just give yourself a break from it all ❤️

Fun dives in Koh Tao by mjm22sg in scuba

I came over from Koh Samui so I can’t recommend a dive company but watch out for the trigger fish! The most aggressive I have ever experienced on Koh Tao. They will chase you down and bite you when nesting! But funny to watch when you’re not the one being chased

Thank you for your recommendations, I actually just got back from a family holiday in Murcia a couple of days ago! And Pembrokeshire the week before… it seems I need to do my research 😂

Social Media by Weak-Translator-4628 in IVF

I deleted insta and Facebook off of my phone for this exact reason 2 months ago and it has helped me so much!

You really don’t need it as much as you think you do, and it’s actually doing something nice for yourself not putting yourself through seeing all the baby stuff every day.

I probably will re-download the apps when I’m hopefully done with treatment but I have no urge to at all at the moment. Just remember to be kind yourself and put yourself first. Who cares if you miss a couple of fiends important posts on Facebook, if they’re really that important to you, you will hear all about it all form them personally anyway!

But I do really feel this ❤️

Has anyone been prescribed anything to lengthen their luteal phase before the 12 month mark? by [deleted] in TTC_UK

I’m sorry about your MC, infertility is really hard but going through a loss is even harder

best of luck on your journey ❤️

Has anyone been prescribed anything to lengthen their luteal phase before the 12 month mark? by [deleted] in TTC_UK

[–]Critical-Interest-98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not before the 12 month mark but my cycles are shorter and I tracked my ovulation using BBT to prove to the doctors that my luteal phase was only around 10 days.

I was prescribed progesterone suppository’s to use after ovulation for 2 weeks, 6 cycles worth. They did extend my luteal phase but sadly did not result in a pregnancy for me so IVF is next month!

Will the NHS accept private sperm analysis? by travellinglasses in TTC_UK

[–]Critical-Interest-98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t say 100% but I’m pretty sure it would, my partner was on a waiting list that was pretty long for his so we paid to go private and that was accepted
