  • I’m all for Xmas but really ? Far too soon 🤣🤣

    have your clinic got a support group ? Our clinic did so we could talk to people who ‘got it’ 
    How did you partner cope through the journey? I shouldnt be feeling nervous about our 2nd cycle but I am, I am dreading it as its stress/arguments/getting our hopes up maybe for nothing.

    Definitely do the over the phone thing, apart from anything else you need to speak and they may have details of face to face groups.

    Try and have a good break.

    NB, I don't know your industry but is I possible to look for other work?   Permanent nights sounds horrendous.

    Oh, and in case you didn't know, depression is a known COVID symptom.  Possible COVID is affecting you mentally as well as physically.

    I’d like to think we sailed through it but we didn’t ! Both of our stress levels were through the roof.  Just remember ‘this too shall pass’ - fingers crossed for you both x

    I have had depression on and off for years and pre covid. I went through a type of therapy called EMDR last year that helped alot but I think when we start IVF again I am gonna do something. Work have offered counselling.

    Thanks Dawny I will keep telling myself that. At the minute its hard as me and my partner are not ourselves we had a blazing row the first day we were there ie our break away. We got back to the hotel and it continued.
  • We have started cycle 2 on Friday wish us luck.

    I have signed up for some counselling sessions at work to try and minimise arguments. lol 

    Money wise everything is good my dmp with S.C. has four payments left I have took on a secondment at work so my salary has gone up abit i am back to paying close to 900 a month again. I made a payment of 750 to it on the first of November and next months payment is alot higher. Its nice having 5 debts with balances of 50-100 quid and this little lot which come the first week of December will be gone. 

    I have 5 debts with balances of £2.71/ £6.98/ £7.77/ £9.50/ 11.32     All of these next month will be gone looking at the payment history then I just have 4 biggies of 500 plus.

    Surveys I havent done alot i just havent being in the mood i need to get my finger out with Xmas coming, I have sold three things on vinted which is good skinny french connection jeans gone for 8quid and I sold a pair of my other halfs jeans for 12 quid.

    Everything else is going fine I will try to keep posting where i can guys but my o/h and me have literally just start ivf at the weekend. I am stressed to bits already but praying for an Xmas miracle.




  • Its being an okay day today bar the fact I am absolutely wrecked. IVF is underway and we have being and had a scan today and everything is on track so far. I have tonight too work then I am done till Monday yay me and the o/h are trying to plan some nice things for our weekend together

    Money wise everything is ticking along nicely I have just sold two bits on Vinted today and yesterday so thats 17 quid coming in for a coat that doesnt fit me, and 7 quid for a pair of jeans that doesnt fit. I need to be a realist I am too old to wear now and get into 34 inch waist skinny jeans lol.
