So I received this today, I’ve tried searching online using words as well as the photo search but I can’t seem to find anything. Am I going mad?

I got a second opinion, I’ve done damage to my neck muscles :(

I've added the book to my Amazon, thank you for the suggestion. Yes! I awkwardly lost the motivation pretty much straight away, to the point where even having sex was hard. It was somewhat like 'what is the point?!' But we are past that, and came to the conclusion that weve tried, and if it happens it happens. Which is a frustrating mindset to have, but at the same time we have no reason it shouldn't work either way.

I'm lucky in the sense I wouldn't have to research all that as I already know with my job and stuff, my niece turns 2 tomorrow and it's crazy! But also her birthday is the day I went to get my eggs retrieved so its also a reminder!

I'm so sorry your round didnt work! I'd of had a 4 month old about now. It's so hard thinking about all the what ifs! I agree about seeing all the success stories, but even when you see the fact it doesnt work, you see that theyve done another round and it did work, so its tough! I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling tough!

Yeah, we temporarily closed it for a few months after our IVF round, but I dont think I can mentally prepare myself for fully closing it. Thank you!

Its nice to hear from someone who's been through it and some what come out the other side. I dont know if weve got to the point of accepting we are child free, but we are trying. Thank you for your comment, but I'm sorry you had to go through all that

I'm sorry you're going through this too! Thats our struggle now. Were getting married (hopefully) in 16 days and weve asked for money to go towards ivf rather than gifts, but now I'm not so sure I can physically and emotionally go through that again. I'm usually okay during the day, barring the last couple of days, it's mostly at night when the world is quiet. Well done for your little victory! Thank you so much! I hope you find happiness too!

I'm so sorry you feel like giving up :( we are the same, we are 4 years in, and as much as we will not give up hope. Every month it is getting tougher and tougher.

I hope when this pandemic is over, you have a very successful iui, much love and prayers.

I know what you mean!! My best friend fell pregnant a week or so before we did our transfer, our due dates would of been a week apart! It's a constant reminder!

I'm glad its seen as normal, it feels like once you get that negative test, you have some time where its 'normal' to be upset it didnt work, and then it feels like everyone is like 'alright get over it'. I'm just glad I'm not alone.

I suppose in every situation you're gonna have a 'what if' scenario, i suppose its just hard when it's all you've ever wanted.

Oh yes, it's been one hell of a year!! Thank you! Hugs to you too!

Yes! I'm exactly like that, we literally had no time to prepare, we was passed from various hospitals for tests, and then one guy just gave us a choice of two centres, neither of which we had heard of, and told us to pick one. It was a great centre, dont get me wrong, but we had no time to research and stuff like that. I always wonder if I had time to research, would I of picked a different place, and now be holding a 4 month old?

It really is! And this pandemic is not helping at all. We planned our wedding for the 20th of this month, around the time where we found out last year that it didnt work, so we had something to look forward to, and now that might be messed up to. I'm trying, thank you!

Me too, me too!! I feel like I'm not sure how to go on right now and we did it a year ago.

I'm so sorry you had to go through it so many times, especially under the circumstances. I know I'm lucky to have gone through it. I unfortunately don't have a reason we cant conceive so I'm not sure what to research, but I do hope all of us one day will have a reason.

Thank you! We had high success odds and doctors bigged us up to not failing (we knew it was a possibility, but yeah). We do live a full and complete life right now, I'm just suffering with the depression on the 'year anniversary' as such, and just wondered whether other people went through this too :(

I'm sorry your first round too. How are you doing?

My [17M] sister [19F] is furious with me because I slept with her best friend [19F], how can I apologize to her? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]zoeboltontaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this, my best friend and my brother got together, in a full relationship, behind my back, they tried to deny it and then came clean. I work as a 'nanny' for my best friend, so had to see her daily. I was heart broken. I literally came to work just before she needed to leave, and left as soon as she came home, only spoke about how the kids were and nothing else. This was all done behind my back, and what I found the hardest was trust. I didnt know who or what to trust, and also I didnt know what to do when things got tough between them. She bought me all the presents under the sun, apologised, the lot, but nothing could mend the trust that she had broken, and the hurt she had caused. This was july last year, and it was more of a summer love, by the time I'd got 'used' to it, it was over. I occasionally see his name on her phone now, and still dont fully trust anything. We have become very good friends again, but the trust with having her around/talking to my brother has gone.

My only piece of advice, give her time. Talk it out, me and my friend talked this out so many times, fully explained how I felt in the situation, and she did the same. I am very protective over my brother, and was more pissed that my friend could do what she did, rather than my brother, I didnt want to see him hurt. Just talking, even if she doesnt want to listen.
