TWW- 5 day FBT 💖

[Hope2045]

Hi all,

I’m on day 4 of the tww and I’m trying to keep as calmly busy as I can to get through the dreaded wait 🍀this is my second transfer and I’ve been fighting negative thoughts since day one! I don’t know if my pessimism is a coping strategy after having been so hopeful and heartbroken after the first transfer. Does/has anyone else felt like this? I just want desperately to be hopeful and I don’t want to ruin my husbands excitement 🙈

It’s ok to not feel hopeful. If thinking positively and being hopeful made embryos implant none of us would be having ivf. If being more pessimistic/realistic is what helps you then that is absolutely fine and I think it is natural after having experienced the lows of ivf xx

Your name on here is positive so keep on hoping xxxx I’m on my 6th 2ww. I’m 7dp5dt at moment and having little cramps and twinges. I’m on constant knicker watch. I feel hopeful then negative, I don’t know how to feel, I try to stay focused and positive but kinda neutral. It’s so hard. I’ve never had a BFP so why should I get one now? Or is it finally my turn after 5 BFNS? I just don’t know. We are all in this together. Do whatever you need to do mentally to protect yourself. However, I do think that whether you think positively or negatively, you’re still going to feel the disappointment and heartache the same - so you might as well think positively and try to enjoy this time as pregnant until proven otherwise then deal with whatever the result is on the day. Good luck xxx
