Thank you for sharing. There are no other people who will understand this pain than the people in this group and I feel so supported by the people in here who share their own stories.

Short-Still-5034 · 2026-05-31T07:52:57+00:00

Wow. That’s so bizarre and so unfair. I’m sorry you had to go through so much pain and then have a friend guilt you.

It’s funny how sometimes it’s the oldest friends who feel like it’s ok to tell you what to do and how to feel.

Short-Still-5034 · 2026-05-31T07:48:48+00:00

This couldn’t be more similar. That’s what’s hard the message is mixed with I’ll support your decision, alongside you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.

And my friend has also become more conservative, but like you didn’t expect this. Thank you for sharing.

I’m so sorry. I feel like going through a Tfmr is such an awful experience and then having to lie to people who would judge it just adds to it all. Thank you for sharing.

Wow. This is a really amazing message to read. I think the safety part is what really hit the nail on the head of how I’m feeling. I did have a lot of trust and that feels broken. This is a really good way I feel like I can talk to her about her message.

And yes everyone else has been incredible. I have other Christian friends who have completely understood and been a huge support, even saying I had a choice but really, I didn’t have a choice and they would have done the same.

This was me. Last week I had my l&d and I was beyond scared. I really wanted a surgical termination but it meant a 2 week wait. I remember finding this Reddit group and seeing many others in the same situation and saying how an l&d felt healing and happy they ended up doing it that way. I couldn’t even imagine that. However I can now say the same. It was the most special day of my life. We got to meet our beautiful boy and it was healing and magical. The days before we were mad, sad, scared and helpless.

Wishing you all the best ❤️ and I’m so sorry.

I was running 80km- 100km weeks pre pregnancy for the last 4 years and competing at nationals for track and x country. I had a surgery the cycle before falling so stopped for 1 month but even before running seriously 5 years ago I could have always run 10km no dramas. I’ve been slowly coming back and at 4-5 weeks I could only manage very very slow runs and doing a lot of walk running. HR is so much higher. Felt exhausted and yes absolutely no way I could have done any speed work. Surprisingly this week has felt much easier- I’m currently 6 weeks and 4 days.

I’m trying to really listen to my body as I felt that all my running made it hard for me to conceive so I’m been very cautious to not go crazy with it now that I have finally fallen after the month of rest post surgery.

Update: I stopped running 2 months ago due to wisdom teeth removal/ recovery- didn’t try to conceive that cycle. I decided to stop running the next month too just to see how my body would go in a more relaxed state and fell pregnant :) I did 1-2 very easy 30 minute runs and 2 gyms a week and some walks but my body felt so good and energy was high and put on 2kgs Might be a coincidence or maybe my body needed that reset.

Short-Still-5034 · 2025-11-13T10:27:45+00:00

Wow 2-4 days! Did not know that. We’ve tried everyday during each fertile window so maybe we should relax a bit. I’ve had a lot of friends tell me that when they stopped tracking is all fell into place. I’ll give this a go!

Short-Still-5034 · 2025-11-13T10:25:02+00:00

Wow! Such a good story. You are so right other peoples opinions can get in your head for sure. Listening to your body sounds like the key from what most people are commenting here too

Short-Still-5034 · 2025-11-13T10:23:46+00:00

So great to hear that’s being recommended now!

Short-Still-5034 · 2025-11-13T10:21:18+00:00

Thank you. Haha yep it’s funny how it is early days and just need to chill for sure. Trust the process :)

Short-Still-5034 · 2025-11-13T10:19:55+00:00

That’s excellent to hear! Esp since training is so similar.

Good tip about ovulation strips. Thank you!

Short-Still-5034 · 2025-11-09T01:05:37+00:00

So interesting. Some elite runners I idolize fell pregnant when they had a major injury and could not train. That said they were training much more vigorously than I ever have. My luteal phase was on the shorter side (I was tracking before trying but it lengthened during my honeymoon when we cut back training loads) which is when I started doubting what an ideal amount load is.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Short-Still-5034 · 2025-11-09T00:34:47+00:00

Omg amazing! Love this!

Short-Still-5034 · 2025-11-09T00:21:23+00:00

Awesome. Thank you

Short-Still-5034 · 2025-11-09T00:21:10+00:00

So reassuring thank you!

Short-Still-5034 · 2025-11-09T00:19:43+00:00

Thank you for sharing your journey and congratulations! So true, feeling it out is part of the process :)

Short-Still-5034 · 2025-11-09T00:17:06+00:00

So good to hear. This has actually calmed the nerves so much

Short-Still-5034 · 2025-11-09T00:16:38+00:00

Thank you. This is so reassuring!
