Misery guts

Does anyone else feel like an absolute Christmas misery guts? I am about to start my first round of IVF and so I'm not drinking coffee or alcohol. I also had to lose weight to get my BMI under 30, it is 28 now so I'm also conscious of what I'm eating. I've never been a big Xmas lover but usually muster up some enjoyment, but this year, I feel flat and would rather not bother with it all.

also a misery guts this Christmas. IVF sucks! Sending love xx

I wish you the very best on your journey.. your feelings are your own, but can i suggest you spend the holidays doing something that brings you some joy.. mental wellbeing is crucial on this journey x

Treat yourself to a cup of coffee, Don't stress your body and mind because that's important, a cup of coffee isn't going to hinder your journey, I'm still on the recommended amount for pregnancy.. That's one thing i didn't sacrifice.. Let go a little bit over Xmas and do the things you want, eat the things you want.. Personally I'm not a drinker so that wasn't a sacrifice for me, but the 11st weighloss and cutting out all the pleasures in life almost killed my spirit completely.. Moderation and balance is key lovely 🥰 Sending you so much love during your journey, please be kind on yourself x

‘Expecting better’ was a great book with all the science about what you can and can’t have. I’ve had one cup of coffee a day throughout IVF and early pregnancy and it’s my one joy! Keep going with the weight loss efforts but try to let yourself enjoy Christmas…IVF and preparing for it is an isolating time but it’s all worth it and you won’t regret your efforts to be in the most healthy place you can be. Best of luck xx
