Here's my 2022 book thread 📚 #books #BookRecommendations #BookTwitter #bookworm

Waiting for my period to start so we can start FET meds is so annoying. ESPECIALLY when for months my cycle has been 24 days, and I'm CD 28 and no sign 🙃 . #ivf #infertility

Starting our 2nd FET soon. It's so hard to find the strength to do it, when it's probably just going to fail again. Those frozen embryos are both a blessing and a curse. If we didn't have them, we wouldn't have the (false) hope.

The NHS is beyond frustrating to deal with atm if you have a permanent, lifelong condition. I know what I need (botox, maybe surgery), but have to jump through a pointless physio hoop to get it. I've lived with it all my life, I know what I need

My CP is kicking my ass right now. I literally do not have a fully functioning limb, due to complex symptoms Asked GP for help: Referral to my consultant refused by CCG. Awaiting contact since April for neurophysio. Asked GP for help with other shoulder: 30th July for GP physio

Disability doesn't distinguish between washing your upper or lower body or undressing or dressing your upper and lower body like the fucking PIP descriptors. If you can't do either, it's bloody disabling. #DisabilityBenefits

Non-disabled Labour MPs can also fuck off with their 'most severely' vs not severely disabled people bollocks. If you need help from another person to deal with your daily living needs, you need help. #DisabilityBenefits

All this disabled people are workshy, lazy bastards rhetoric has really broken me. I'm disabled, work part time. A day at work leaves me with severe pain to the extent I struggle to sleep at night. A non-disabled person would not cope with it. Fucking angry.

People who cannot use a toilet unsupervised, cannot get in or out of the bath or shower, cannot dress themselves alone, will all have their PIP eligibility taken away.

BFN this morning. I hate IVF.

I have one 5AB embryo on board The embryo transfer itself was absolutely traumatic (it took an hour!) Scarring from C-Section made it v tricky. Worst pain of my life. #ivf #infertilitysucks

Getting my next cervical screening invite through the post 7 months after my sister died of cervical cancer has hit me like a train. I know it's not rational, but grief isn't rational at times.

Burst into tears after the embryologist said our little blasto has survived the thaw. I told myself fertility treatment/ttc is not a big deal now we have our daughter, but apparently it is. I'm just very attached to our embryos as they gave me hope in a dark time #ivf

The weird thing is I had a miscarriage this year and would have been due in December, so it feels quite poignant

We have our blastocyst transfer tomorrow. Hoping for a little Christmas miracle 🙏 ✨️ #ivf #infertility

So we're doing a FET sooner than planned... I start HRT next week 🤞#ivf #infertilitysucks

First clinic appointment done. We are doing a FET with 1 of our 6 frosties in the new year 🤞.

How do you talk to a 3 year old about death? I've been trying to explain to my daughter that my sister has died but it is so hard to do in an age appropriate way. She saw my sister when she was very, very poorly so understands Auntie Kitty is poorly.

We're hopefully starting the process for a FET soon. I don't know if my nerves can handle it 🤞

It's world IVF day today apparently. I'm so grateful to those clever doctors who gave us our 6 embryos ❤️ Everything crossed one is a future sibling for our girl.

How do you make horrific grief dreams stop please? They're so traumatising 💔
