Feeling anxious

[Lumie]

I have got my scan to check my follicles out tomorrow. This is our third go at IVF and I'm so scared and anxious. I've been textbook previously with eggs, fertilisation and quality of eggs. I know I should be thankful. But there's a niggling feeling. I am struggling this time round, bloated, pains everywhere! and grouchy. I have been working full time and it's very demanding. I'm worried that, although I reckon I've got some good eggs and they will fertilise, I'm scared it won't work again and I think I'll have a complete breakdown. I think I want it so much that I can't bear to think of having a BFN. Also the added pressure that we have paid for it this time. Sorry, I think I just need some comforting, encouraging words and probably a hug to say everything will be ok.

It's going to be okay Lumie. It's a numbers game, we all know that, but there is no reason why your number can't come up this time. Stay strong - one little step at a time - and try not to think too far ahead (way too scary) xx

Thank you. Yes, I must remember to take a step at a time. X

Lumie. I could have written this. I’m on my 6th 2ww. I’m on my 3rd cycle. It’s my 2nd transfer from that cycle. I’m terrified of it continuously failing and not knowing why and if it will ever work. Is there something wrong? Will I get lucky? It’s awful. But it sounds like there are lots of positives for you. Come on, let’s get our big girl pants on. We can and we are doing this. Keep on going. We’ve got this xxx
