From people who came through it
“Dear stranger, eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. For me it was a failed transfer last month. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do.”
liyanabrook · been through infertility and ivf“When you start this, you will feel like you are the only one hiding needles in a bathroom. You are not. Some days will be just waiting. Some days you will be angry at the world. That is okay. Find one small thing that is only yours, like a basketball court or a quiet coffee before work. Tell your partner the truth, even when it is ugly. And ask your doctor every question you have, even the silly ones. You will get through this, even if the result is not what you planned.”
Evening Aspen · been through infertility and ivf“Two years ago, that was me. My husband's results, every single day. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy.”
rachellesand · been through infertility and ivf“I was in the same place this time last year. The worst part was a low AMH result. Last month I had people round for dinner. You're not on your own.”
