Feeling depressed!why?!

[Anna00]

Is it normal that I feel depressed? If not defo something wrong with me. It’s my day 5 post ET transfer. I was ok yesterday even for few hours I was happy then we went out for dinner and it was lovely,and today I’m so down😔 any idea what should I do to help myself? Hate being like xx

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you, I think this journey takes a lot out of us emotionally and once you’ve got to ET it’s a whole new load of emotions to deal with. It’s understandable to feel up one minute and down the next not just because of the hormones flying around your body but because of how much you want this to work, I would say to let yourself go through the emotions. You’ll find things that help you, going for a walk always helps me clear my head xx

[Anna00 in reply to E_05]

Thank E_05, I’m so scared if I get the BFN don’t know who to deal with that maybe that’s one ofthe reason I’m like that,but can’t do anything I have to wait,fingers crossed it’s positive. Xx

[E_05 in reply to Anna00]

The tww is definitely the toughest, I know it’s hard but keep positive xx

Hi Anna00. I don’t think anything serious is wrong, just hormonal reactions. Try and keep busy to keep your mind off things. Take care. Diane

[Anna00 in reply to DianeArnold]

Thanks DianeArnold. I think it’s the hardest part of my treatment,2ww. Xx

I found my two week wait felt so long and was the most difficult and emotional part of the journey. I had not prepared myself for the range of emotions I would have. Some days I was very hopeful and others I just felt really depressed and had convinced myself it had not worked. My best advice would be to allow yourself to feel however you feel even if its a sad day. Try to spend time with family or friends who can give you a distraction and support. The wait will soon be over and until test day, all you can do is stay strong and look after yourself. Good luck xx

[Anna00 in reply to Newyeae]

Thanks Newyeae, it’s exactly how I feel at the moment and I wasn’t preparer for that much emotion.however hard but I’m glad it’s normal.thanks again xx

Im sure this will pass. Try and do some self care, only see the people who bring u happiness and try and do things that bring u joy 💕 easier said than done, i dont always take my own advice. 😙

[Anna00 in reply to TTCs]

Thanks TTCs, I know I’m not the only one doing this journey and I know it’s hard for everyone, I just can’t control myself sometimes with emotion,for no reason I cried🤦🏻‍♀️ Hope I feel better tomorrow might go and do some shopping for myself😊 thanks you’re always so nice.hope you’re ok 😘xx

[TTCs in reply to Anna00]

Oh dont feel bad about that i often cry for seemingly no reason even when not going through ivf lol. But there is a reason deep down rly and if there's not u can b sure its hormones, so its ok to cry and let it out! R u a Friends fan? I just watched the episode were the male nanny told Ross to let the boo hoos out lol! It does help though! Shopping sounds like a plan, treat urself!! Xx

[Anna00 in reply to TTCs]

Omg I love friends! I have all their DVD’s! whatched the male nanny part today! Actually I watch friends everyday and I still love it. Xx

[TTCs in reply to Anna00]

[Dunla]

Anna sorry you’re having a tough day, your hormones are going to be all over the place which isn’t going to help you. You’ll def feel up and down. Plus this is just a really stressful time. Great idea to go out for dinner last night. Keep trying to do nice things and keep distracted as much as you can to help get you through the next few days. Big hugs and Thinking of you xx

[Anna00 in reply to Dunla]

Thanks Dunla, yeah it’s a very tough time I wasn’t expect it’s that hard to be honest,hope I survive lol hope you’re ok and good luck xx
