    Thank you for voicing how hard it is to work while going through this process. Working while going through fertility treatment is hard and it is a big deal ❤

      Thanks so much for your comment. When I was editing I think I removed alot of the content because I thought it was too specific to me and the work demands I had at the time. But work was one of the hardest things to juggle. In hindsight I wish I took more holiday leave instead of rushing ti try and do everything x xx

    I start my injections this evening!! Had my baseline scan yesterday and everything’s looking fine. I’m so nervous, so excited, just ready to start. I’ve had many many losses due to having lupus anticoagulant blood disorder. Ivf won’t lessen the chance of MC, but fingers crossed I’ll get lucky. Thank you for posting about your journey, it’s been so helpful

    Thank you for sharing your journey. 💛 I’ve been juggling a high demand job while pursuing the fertility treatment. It’s been the most stressful part and taking a sabatical was not an option, and I didn’t want to leave my job considering fertility treatment is so expensive. The medecines made me feel so low, the frequent blood tests, scan and sometimes short notice medical appointments made it hard to manage both the workload and the doctor’s visits. I’ve had one failed IUI and will be going for egg collection in 2 days. Praying and hopeful for the best outcome 🙏

    Thank you so much for sharing your story and for being so informative. Me and my husband have been trying for almost 5 years and we finally have a date for our first round of egg collection on 5th August. It’s scary and exciting but just I’ve been binging RUclips videos for clarity and to help calm my mind a bit x

    I thought stims didn’t have effect in my humor and when I asked to my husband he said that he noticed it. I was more emotional. Physically my breast were very sore, constantly pee and mild cramps. After the egg retrieval I was tired and cramping for 4 days. Now I’m waiting for FET and, can’t wait!! Thanks for sharing your journey. It Brings me hope in mine ❤

    This really helped me! Thank you! I start my injections in a week and I’m wondering whether I should have some time off work to help reduce stress. Work is really stressful and exhausting and I’m just worried it’ll affect me during the treatment.
    Thanks for such an informative video, really great! I can’t believe you worked throughout, that’s so much to think about! You’re incredible!

      Hi Alice, sorry i thought i replied to this. I hope your journey is going well. I edited alot of my ramblings about work before i didnt want my videos too long but it was a HUGE factor for me, one of the hardest parts of IVF actually. I hope you are managing to juggle it. I always said if i was going to go through it again i would definately take time off or at least half days at work xx

      It is so sad that you guys have a waiting list. Here in the US, it only takes two weeks to get in with the RE then you begin the following cycle. Insurance pays for some people, but not everyone. I'd rather pay to debit now than wait 1+ years. 😢
