Super tired

[Fredaflintstone]

Am feeling so tired at the moment - I'm not sure whether it's the meds (only on oestrogen and norethisterone) or the worry or just the emotions of this journey. Coming up to ET and just feel exhausted with it all. I hope i get some energy and positivity soon. Anyone else feeling or felt exhausted pre-transfer? Xx

It's probably a mixture of all of the above! Take care xx

I definitely felt exhausted I think it's a mixture of everything you have to go through it takes its toll on us all. Take the time to put your feet up, have a bath or read a good book just have some 'me' time 😊 xx

Get a nice hot bath in before they are banned after ET. The ivf rollercoaster is both physically and emotionally draining x

[Fredaflintstone]

Thanks ladies. Good idea. I've got some new bath salts sonwill give them a try now. I'm glad it's not just me Xxx

[Lou9]

Hope you feel better soon. A bath sounds like a great idea... and some trashy magazines! Take care. X

Take time to rest as this process is draining both mentally and physically. Wishing lots of luck for EC xx

Hope you're feeling better soon lovely. Take time to relax as much as you can xxx

Thanks all. I had a nice bath but a terrible nights sleep so I'm having a duvet day today. Hopefully that will help out me back on track. Got a cold sore and a bit of a temperature so am feeling generally run down I think. Nothing planned this weekend and then got a spa day planned the following one so that should definitely help me get ready for the ET xxx

[Hidden in reply to Fredaflintstone]

You definitely sound a bit run down (I suffer terribly with cold sores - ghastly things!)

Relax under your duvet and hopefully you'll be fighting fit when it comes to your spa day and ET xx

It's the meds, for sure. They zap me of energy, I can tell vs when I'm not on them the difference. Im sure your anxiety and anticipation is building up too which adds to the tiredness. Try to take it easy lovely xx

100% shattered everyday! I have endometriosis anyway which always makes me tired as my body is always fighting it especially when it flares up bad. Then with all the meds I was shattered and now since my transfer.... exhausted!!!! I take naps at EVERY possible opportunity. Really can't wait to get some energy back soon!!! xxx

[Fredaflintstone]

Thank you. Am feeling a bit better after my duvet day. Going to keep on trying to get early nights.

Aren't cold sores horrid Jojo? I always get them too especially when I'm run down. I've been putting aloe Vera on and it seems to help.

Hope you feel better soon Bibi, though I expect the exhaustion may continue but it will all be worthwhile now.

Thanks Hannah - yes I'm sure it's the meds and the anxiety/anticipation - last day of meds for a few days then back on them next week so hoping that will make a little difference. Starting to do some meditation too to help calm the nerves.

How are you all doing?
