Pre-IVF Crying

[Foodie23]

I wish I had something positive to share today. After 4 days of spotting, waiting for a heavier flow so I can get started with our first IVF cycle I'm starting to break down. I've been doing really well and then had the hardest day today spending most of it crying. I don't know if I can do this...

You can so do this. Having a day of emotions is normal. Of course you will be feeling all sorts. But focus on the reason why you are doing this. It's all worth it in the end xxx

I swear that old saying about how a watched pot never boils should be that a watched period never comes. I felt so similar just a week ago and now I'm 5 days into stims.

Other then gentle exercise there's not much you can do. I won't tell you to stay positive because it you need to cry then you do right by letting it out. I'm proud of you for sharing and hope AF shows up soon x

You’ve got this lovely. It’s hard and heartbreaking but you’ll get there, take one day at a time. Be kind to yourself xxx

Ah sometimes it feels better to have a good cry, fall to pieces a bit and then you can pull it all back together and carry on.

You can’t be strong all the time so maybe this is your little wobble before you get started.

You can do this! Sending hugs your way x

You can. Don’t stumble before the first hurdle, and if you do then pick yourself back up. Things may get harder but if you get what you want there will be no looking back. You’ve got this 💪🏻👊🏻 xx

Thank you all for taking the time to help lift me up when I was feeling down. I really can't thank you enough. I'm happy to report I had a great chat with my mom and after that and reading all of your thoughtful responses, I'm feeling much better. My husband is finally home from work, we've ordered something yummy for dinner and have a great lineup of shows to watch.

Just a momentary wobble that lasted longer than I would have liked, but I've dusted off my knees and ready to head into the fight. I am renewed in my confidence that I can handle whatever comes. One thing I know for 100% is that I would do anything for a chance at a family and all of this will be worth it in the end. 😊

You're all so strong and such an inspiration! I'm so beyond grateful for this group. Xx

We are all here for each other and you will be too one day. Enjoy your evening and good luck with your upcoming wind xxx

Hi there Foodie23,

I am on my second day of my first IVF cycle.I felt exactly the same as you and nearly gave up on Thursday night the night before my injections started.I did the injection with the Nurse better than I thought and doing my 1st one myself tonight.

I kept thinking I want to give up but I would never forgive myself if I didn't try for the baby I have longed for all my life.

Please don't feel alone in this....

Louise😘
