Post ET anxiety.....

[here-_to_get_support]

We had our egg transfer Tuesday and all went well. Since then I've found my anxiety increasing daily. It's less so about whether it's implanted as I guess I know I can't control that. However it's the things I can control I.e. what I can and can't eat, how much walking I should be doing, worried about getting germs. I've been panicking about been exposed to my cats pooh, even though I know the chances of catching anything is super low as she's an indoor only. I had prepared myself for the physical effects, but the mental effects is so much harder than I ever thought. I just keep worrying and then worry that the worrying causing damage and it goes on! Any one else feel the same? xx

I think we all worry about what we do during the 2ww affecting the chances of success but I think ultimately if it’s going to stick it will stick, regardless of what we do or don’t do. After all you’ve been through to get to this point you deserve to be kind to yourself and just allow yourself to relax as much as possible.

There are some mindfulness meditations on YouTube especially for ivf which I found really helpful during the wait, would recommend those. Also positive affirmations to say out loud.

Wishing you all the best xx

Aww... I’m sorry to read that you are feeling worried 😟 I’m on my 2ww too and had my transfer the same day as you!

I’m not sure if it’s because this is the 4th 2ww that I’ve been through, but I feel more with it this time and really think, what will be, will be regardless of what I do, or don’t do. I really do hate this part of the process though, it’s tough going and can send you abit crazy!

When is your OTD? 💕 xx

Here’s hoping 🤞 I don’t know how many more 2ww’s I can take!
