@MrsKatie oh no I pray you haven't got covid I no people are getting really bad flu which they are thinking it's covid do you no I no exactly what you mean about if wanted to ttc again for now I'm going tomorrow (well today as it's now 1:14am here) to hopefully get this dam implant out, but Paul and I have said if it happens it happens if not we have our little bundles (some not so little) so we are going to ntnp and some days I think could my body handle another pregnancy do we really want to go through it again, I guess we will find out ha. Hope you feel better soon tho nothing worse than feeling rubbish especially when you were going to try again xx

Hi ladies, we managed to dtd a few times but I got sick with a fever etc. right after so I don't feel optimistic about this cycle...

PS: Luckily, it's not Covid, just did a test.

Don’t count yourself out mrskatie, sometimes lowered immunity can help fertility. Also before I found out I was pregnant I was going through a lot of anxiety due to a health scare with my husband on the heels of my own health issues earlier this year. Mo way I would have thought I could get pregnant under all that stress. But if you don’t feel mentally prepared for ttc, that’s another story. Have you considered therapy? Sounds like you might have some things to work theough and a therapist can be especially helpful during the ttc journey

@gigglebox i hadn’t thought of therapy for ttc specifically but I wouldn’t rule it out. I have had a couple fantastic therapists over the years and the thought of finding a new one on this island is definitely daunting, I might do virtual visits with my old naturopath or something. I think my biggest struggle isn’t the ttc part specifically, but the ttc combined with feeling the intense pressure of the ticking clock that’s really throwing me off.
