2nd Ivf Cycle

[Natxx]

Hi, this is my first post. I had my first round of ivf in August 2018, it was successful but our baby had no heart beat at the 20 wk scan. We are about to start the Ivf journey again and wondered if anyone had any advice on keeping calm and being positive? or has this happen to anyone here?

If it worked out in the first attempt, you're quite lucky! There are women here trying for even six seven rounds without any luck! You should be positive about this. I'm sorry for your loss, earlier. I hope it all works out this time! You can do it, honey. Sending you best wishes and lots of baby dust.

oh im so sorry about your little one, but its great that the IVF worked first time around hopefully things will work out this time for you. I had acupuncture during my cycle which helped me relax xo

Hey Natxx, I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️ IVF is such a struggle & at times so very cruel and unfair.

Staying positive is something that I still struggle with, but I’m still trying hard! 😉 I use a couple of apps- mindful ivf and a general relaxation / meditation one called Calm. Both are really good to get some positive words in your ears ☺️ I’ve been going to yoga a couple of times a week, nice gentle exercise, I find it calming and there are lots of good vibes there! 🌈

I’m also working on positive self talk, although we haven’t got lucky yet (3 rounds in) ivf does work for millions of people and I am clinging on to hope that we will get a miracle baby!

Wishing you all the best for your next cycle - stay strong ❤️ xxx

Hi

I'm so sorry that is hasn't happened for you yet but you are right, it happens to people all the time and you just have to believe that it will happen for you. Funny I always feel really positive for others going through Ivf and truly believe it will happen but don't really feel it when it comes to myself.

I have tried a bit of Yoga which I really enjoyed, I will have a look at the apps aswell. Since what happened I started seeing a councillor and I find when I leave him I almost have a weight lifted off my shoulders as im able to vent my anger about what happened but I'm also keen to carrying on seeing him throughout my next cycle to maybe help with the stress of it all!

Please know im sending you lots of love and wishing you all the best for your next round x
