Hey ladies, I start my second round of IVF on Sunday after our first attempt was unsuccessful, I'm struggling at the moment with my emotions as I've been trying to be strong and just get on with it! If anyone has any advice for me it would be greatly appreciated β€ππ»

Hey you, you're doing great. You're stronger than you think. The fact you get up everyday and carrying on is amazing. Now that your 1st IVF is out the way you know why to expect for your second. I'm going to be starting 2nd cycle of IUI tomorrow.
Big hugs and good luck x
Relax a bit. Let your emotions go. It is not good to "struggle with your emotions" I totally understand you though.. this is not an easy matter, it is obvious that it is not. it is very hard to pull off. the thing is that no one is ready, is perfectly prepared for this and no one can give you a 100 percent helpful advice because we all are different yet the same in some way, we struggle with this individually and go through different obstacles that it cannot even be compared.
relaxing will help you just as much as it even can, but if you feel stressed by it (well, that happens) then you should totally do anything that makes you feel better. that's a very common advice to get but it is the best when it comes to general stuff
wishing you the best of luck!

I left a similar post recently after my mood hit rock bottom and the GP prescribed me antidepressants. I haven't taken them yet, but the ladies on here suggested some natural solutions to stress etc if you look on my last post. Your not alone.... but you are stronger than you think to go through this process!! Sending you lots of strength to get through xx
Good luck with your seconnd try. I am sure you are strong enough to have BFP and go through it keeping your head up!
I'm with you
Sometimes it's better to express your feelings. You shoud get rid of negative emotions!
Don't hold your emotions inside of you, they have to pass out! Wish you bfp!!! fingers crossed!!!
Good luck with your 2nd cycle, I'm waiting to start my 2nd too, it is a lot of ups and downs and emotional, big hugs π€ and good luck ππxx
I don't feel I have any useful advice... but I've just started my first round of ivf last week and although very nervous and apprehensive I'm trying to stay positive etc etc... hard though. But always here if you want anyone to talk to. β€ wishing you all the luck in the world!! (Apart from a bit im saving for myself π) πππ€πΌ xxx
You might feel a bit better once you've started, I did, though am more anxious than I was last time round (but I think that's because I've had a natural mc in between).
Acupuncture is helping me to relax xx
Thank you all so much for your support and words of wisdom π it feels so good talking to people who understand exactly how you feel and just how emotionally draining this process can be. I feel a lot more positive today and a lot stronger because of all your kind words β€ I'm sending all my love and positivity to you all throughout your own IVF journeys and definitely feel like mine will be a little easier knowing I have some strong women supporting me ππͺπ» Thank you ladies and lots of love β€βοΈππ»π€π»
Hi Claire , keep strong our first cycle failed , it's so hard to be positive I know but our frozen cycle worked . We now have a 6 week old little boy x
Hi, my advice is to just to put it to the back of your mind. Find another focus (for me it was getting a puppy - though wouldn't advise this as it was a bit full on to say the least!!!!). After my first failed attempt I just relaxed and blew caution to the wind! I drank, ate unhealthy and simply had fun. I am convinced that this relaxed state contributed to my success on round 2. I'm now 28 weeks preggers.
I do realise what i am advising is hard to do, but if you stay strong and positive good things will happen!
Wishing you all the VERY best xxxx
Hi ClareyB,
Not sure I can offer any advice but just wanted to say I'll be starting my 2nd cycle in 3wks time and am also struggling with emotions that I didn't have 1st time round.
They're almost worst than the 1st time arent they?..its likeyou know what to expect and it seems there's more pressure to succeed. I've had an awesome few weeks feeling "normal" again, like the old me before any of this....I'm dreading turning into the tired, crazy, anxious, bitter nutter again....only to get another bfn!!
Horrible isn't it?? Xx
Good luck and try and relax. Being positive helps and don't over think things. All the best for you to get a bfp xxx β€οΈ
Hey im also on my second cycle.waiting to hear if our embryo is ok and we do ET tomorrow.how are you doing?
