Hi to all u other girlies x

AFM- My left side jab HURT like hell tonight but my menopur side was fine. Cant wait for jabs to be done with! lol. Does anyone else feel sick from stimms? iv felt sick all day.
Also feel so sad i cant tell my mum about all this. I know she will be watching over me but i wish so much she was here to support me. Been very emotional today so sorry for bringing mood down. Just feel lost. Its 2mths tomorrow since my lovely mum went to heaven and the longer time goes on the more i miss her so very much xxx

 

[babies7777]

So sorry Kazz, hope your egg is a strong one.

ec done only got one egg not happy at all in so much pain i stopped breathing half way through xxx

 

[babies7777]

Hugs Africa, i know how hard it is in the beginning. It took me a long time and eventually i just got used to the fact that she wasnt here anymore, filling my time with other things etc and just trying to think of the happy memories and laughing as much as possible. Distraction is a great help, doing nice things with your dh etc and of course that bfp and the joy helps you deal with the loss.

Tons of hugs
xx

Thank you Babies. I didnt know you lost your mum too. I just miss her so much and its hard going through IVF without her to talk to and to think she wont be able to hold her grandchild im sure you know what i mean. How long ago did you lose your mum? I guess 2mths is not a long time with grief. I dont want to stop missing my mum, i just want to feel hopeful about the future again? xxx

 

[babies7777]

Its no time at all, i found it really hard in the beginning, i would do everything like normal work, etc but when i was at home alone its all i would think about but with time i promise it does get easier, its not that you stop missing them but that you do other things like you said looking forward to the future and that really does help. My mum died in 2003 and as i was young at the time it was such a change, i went from living at home to having to move and be completely on my own in a space of a week. But in hindsight keeping busy did help distract me. I wasnt with dh at the time but i so wish i had because i know that would have made it so much better, having the future to hold onto and your own family. I dont think you ever get over it but with time i found i could think about other things and enjoy myself and think of the happy times rather than the sad ones.
There will always be those times when you wish things were different but im sure she is looking over you and will be so proud how well you are doing with the ivf, i dont believe they ever truly leave, they just watch over you and live through your joy, you can tell lo all about her, they never truly leave.

Lots of hugs.
