What keeps you going?

Since our failed first round of IVF back in December, its been really hard to keep positive and move forward with a smile and open mind.

While trying to educate myself and find more people doing IVF in the UK, I stumbled across an amazing couple who were using the same Clinic as ourselves, Create Fertility based at St Pauls, on YouTube.

Fellow East Londoners (well, we were at the time of starting all this conception bullshit), Lisa and Lynsey, have an awesome page that has really helped us understand all the stages of IVF we would be going through. They also educate with other related topics like nutrition, dealing with the fails etc, and also helped answer questions that just rubble through your hormone filled and erratic brain while trying to prepare for this tough journey of landmines!

They gave us a positive and honest out look on what we need to expect and it actually helped to calm me down, which I want them to know is such a confort for me, so thank you both.

I cant wait to get my little notification every week now to say a new vid is up and I just find so much joy and happiness in seeing how they are doing.

A great plus is that Lynsey is a PT and her fitness knowledge is really brilliant and helpful.

A worry for me is what I will be able to do exercise wise or not do, as I dont want to pork out (I know ill be an eater!) if I do eventually get pregnant. She's honest and informative which gives me happy feels as most pregnant women talk like they are made of glass and should just not even lift a finger while carrying. I am too active to be this way so she helps you know what is ok and what is too much.

Have a look at one of their videos below and they are definately worth following and supporting all they do.

Thank you ladies!
