THE TEARS MANY DON'T TALK ABOUT

I took this picture when my period came in April, if you look closely you can see a tear running down my cheek.

I was absolutely heartbroken 💔

But this was something that was a regular occurence for me.... Another negative test,
Another pregnancy announcement,
My period,
A few drinks with friends...

I WOULD HIT ROCK BOTTOM AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH

These are the moments that hurt so much that many of us struggle to talk about, these are the tears of someone struggling with infertility.

This picture actually makes me feel so sad inside, I remember exactly how I felt... i felt it so often.

In this picture, it had been 20 months since losing the twins and no matter what I tried pregnancy just wasn't happening for us.

I took this picture to share it on my social media but to be totally honest, I wasn't ready... and quite frankly I wasn't brave enough to leave my self open and so vunerable.

The struggles of someone dealing with infertility is heartbreaking...

Entering the same cycle every month,
Week 1 hope,
Week 2 excitement
Week 3 symptom spotting
Week 4 heartbroken again.

Everyone tells you to relax but you can't...

Everyone tells you it WILL HAPPEN but you don't believe them....

More people you know WILL be going through this cycle month in month out... BE KIND ALWAYS 🌈🥰💗

Sorry the podcasts have been intermittent I have spent the majority of the last 15 weeks with my head down a toilet bowl but now I am coming out the other side, I have some great guests lined up for you all.

Trigger warning ****

PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

🌈 We are very excited to share the news that we are FINALLY expecting our rainbow baby in January 2022. 🌈

🌈 To say we are nervous about sharing this news is an understatement... but the way we see it is that every baby deserves to be celebrated no matter the outcome.🌈

💙💗 We have wanted this as a family for so long and I honestly thought this day would never come.... so much so, that I actually gave every single baby item away when we moved house, I couldn't bare to look at them anymore.

It is important to me to celebrate this life that I am growing, a life we have created, a mini George and a half me and my soul mate.
I hope and pray that this time we make it to the finish line safely and come home as a family of 4. 💙💗

I will be documenting my rainbow journey and struggles from the beginning (no matter the outcome) on my new youtube channel, if anyone would like to subscribe the link is https://youtube.com/c/CarlaLett1

❤ My aim is to be honest and open in my rainbow pregnancy journey to support other future mums who are also navigating their way through a rainbow pregnancy too and panicking at every hurdle, every scan and every test.

I also wanted to mention that I know that this post will be hard for some people to read and for that I am so sorry but please understand that I know how you feel because I have been there. 🥰

I have cried after every negative test for the last 18 months (I should have shares in the pound land pregnancy tests) and i have also been worried about not smiling enough when someone announces a pregnancy (lockdown was a godsend). So for those of you that resonate with this last paragraph, I am sending you so much love and I hope you can find some kind of hope within this post ❤

If you want to watch my first video you can watch it here https://youtu.be/GA4bkZ5V6q0 if you want to follow the journey you can subscribe to get regular updates.

We pray for a rainbow after our storm. 🙏🌈

You dunk your head in the bath and just as you reach out for the shampoo you realise you bought two conditioners instead of one of each... FML.
