Having a down few days

[Core]

Hi all, been struggling the last few days. When we were originally told we had to have freeze all due to OHSS I was quite relieved and grateful for the break, but now I’m anxious to start again. Although the needles weren’t fun it was good to feel like you were doing something proactive towards your goal of getting your baby. This sounds really silly but I also feel I miss my blastocysts in the freezer and I want them inside me where they belong. It doesn’t help that we have a family meal this weekend with my pregnant sister in law. Our follow up consultation is less than 2 weeks so I know it’s not long to wait but it helps writing it all down. Sending love to everyone at whatever stage of their journey they’re on xx

Hope that the family meal goes well, I know it can be hard to see pregnant women when you want it so much.

I don't know if this will help (and the article is pretty old) but there is evidence that a frozen embryo might be beneficial to the health of the baby that you have;

I know it's so difficult to see it now but letting your body recover and then having a FET might have a silver lining.

Wishing you all the best x

Thank you, yes fingers crossed. It’s hard not being able to talk openly about it in day to day life which is why this forum is great xx

Yeah I think it's important to be able to share. I know that nothing anyone can say can fix your feelings but I hope that just being able to know that people are here helps. X

Sorry to read you’re having a hard time at the mo hun. Hope the meal goes ok for you at the weekend.

I think as long as you’re taking your vitamins, staying off the caffeine and alcohol you’re doing well ready to start your frozen transfer.

My fresh cycle failed, I was gutted but hadn’t had anytime to rest between egg collection and the transfer - my body just hadn’t recovered or rested enough so I knew it would fail. Fast forward a few months, frozen transfer using two blastos and now I run around after my two and half year old on a daily basis! Fast forward to last month, my last two remaining frozen blastos in from same batch and now I’m 7 weeks and 3 days pregnant with my second miracle baby! Personally for me, frozen transfers are best, your body is rested and ready for it.

You’ll breeze it hun, you keep doing what you’re doing and try not to worry (easier said than done). You’ll be fine, best of luck for when you start your frozen cycle xxx

Ah thanks, lovely to hear such a positive story, congratulations on both your little miracles! Yes my body really wasn’t in the right place for a fresh transfer so I know it was the right decision, just getting impatient now 😂 xx

My BFP was from a FET too. I’m currently 8+3. I agree that rested and ready is the best way.
