Sorry I've been MIA. Found my voice finally. Got amazing response. Thinking of all of you today.

@Infertilesowhat @SecretBabyWish yep, my cycle was like clockwork before years of IVFs. Now it's a shit show - long, heavy, often, painful.
Special spa day interrupted by f-ing AF just 10 days after it epic 8-day flow ended. Body so broken. 5IVFs to blame? Going to doc Wed > 1/2

@misstomrstomom thanks. Surviving the cold streak? Makes me want to stay under covers.
@Minxy_Chick thanks. Omg! I missed news of your baby girls!!! So happy for you. I hope all is well, mama.
Today last year I started IVF5 injections. 2yrsago today IVF2 converted to IUI. This year, no 💉 but also no 👼🏼. Had to stop, can't forget.

Yesterday 1st bday in 3 yrs that didn't start at fertility clinic and E asked if I was having baby. Pain of IF keeps rearing ugly head.

@SecondICSIbaby yep. The episode this week was Anna telling Lady Mary. Ugh. I'll actually be annoyed if she gets pregnant. Don't tell me!
Really #DowntonAbbey? #Infertility? "We must learn to be content as we are." My escape show has me bawling.

@aimeemcnew I remember that feeling. It's hard so go easy on yourself.
@aimeemcnew good & fussy. Early days are hard, so hard. Try to go w/ flow & enjoy. He'll be perfect 1 day, disaster next. That's the fun!
@aimeemcnew in hindsight I think I had some ppd. Good that you are aware. Talk to someone? My scar still freaks me out! Glad Harry is >
@aimeemcnew I was wondering about you then saw this. You ok? How's LO?
