So I had my 3dt on Bank Holiday Monday and my beta is tomorrow and I'm absolutely terrified. I've had symptoms pretty much since day 1 post transfer but some of those will have been egg collection healing as the doctor said it was pretty tricky. The cramps have been coming and going but they don't feel like period cramps, my boobs are a bit swollen and sore and I've been starving, thirsty and nauseous for the past two weeks. Today though everything has tasted of metal, yuck, I've asked 4 of my work colleagues to try my water as I was sure something was wrong with it and I've been really light headed which I can usually attribute to not eating enough but I know that's not the case at the moment.
I haven't done any home pregnancy tests as I'm tired of seeing negative ones. This has been our first mild IVF ICSI cycle and as we only had 2 embryos fertilized and 1 arrested on day 2. I'm so scared that tomorrow is going to be negative and we have to go through it all over again and I've let so many people down already...

You haven’t let people down, none of this is in your control so please stop thinking that. And, honestly, other than you and your partner, other people’s expectations aren’t your concern anyway. It’s all sounding very positive for you, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you, but if it is negative then you need to hold on to the fact that you’ve done everything you can (and a lot more than those lucky people who fall pregnant easily and naturally do). You’re a warrior.
I agree with lizzie .... I felt like you at the begingin i felt as though ide let my partner down.... well do u know what youve not youre strong its all sounding promising so fingers crossed... dont worry about other people’s opinions and focus on yourself ivf is one of the most stressful things ive ever encountered.... ule get there lovely ❤️ many people said to me try and remain calm and positive i ran into this blind thinking i am im ok but deep down i wasnt i was stressed i was a mess .... wishing you lots and lots of luck my advice to you is focus on you and focus on your health and well-being nothing else matters at a time like this xxx
