IVF affirmations

Morning all,

I've been struggling with how to strike the balance between remaining positive for my next FET and not getting my hopes up, as you all know it's no easy task. I came across a website that lists some affirmations we could say to ourselves everyday. The idea being to take some deep breaths, say them out loud and to truly believe what you are saying.

Here is the list:

IVF Affirmations for The Mother

Today is my/our day for a miracle.

My eggs are healthy and my womb is receptive to a new life.

I am physically and emotionally healthy and responsive to IVF.

My womb is healthy and will bring our baby into being.

My body holds the power of creation.

Side by side, my husband/partner and I stick together.

I love myself.

I am doing the best I can in this moment.

I am strong.

I can do this.

I am confident I will become a mother.

I trust my body to do what it was created to do.

Thought I would share this with you all in case it may help, I will give this a go myself.

Lovely Sunday xx

I'm glad you've found this useful ladies. It really is important in the midst of this trying process to stop and say actually I am fine and I will get there. And to love ourselves a bit more. xx

Thanks Renee-really useful. I’m on my 3rd 2ww and was really positive and using visualisation for the first few days but all the doubts are creeping back in and I’m finding it harder and harder to remain positive but I know it’s so important!!

Thanks

It's so hard because it's all about striking that balance between positivity and not getting hopes up. All I can say is have faith that your body is doing exactly what it is meant to be doing right now and everything will work out exactly as it it is supposed to. Wishing you all the luck in the world for this third (and hopefully last) tww. xx

Thanks Renee.xx It certainly is a balance. I had some reiki last week for the first time and it was relaxing and helped me feel a bit more positive (but it doesn’t last long enough). Good luck for your next round.x

[Hidden in reply to Sharonl75]

Never tried reiki before but I did reflexology this weekend for the first time. It's great to be doing what we can to feel relaxed, even if for a short while! Thank you and again all the luck to you for this round. xx
