In meltdown mode

I’m so sorry to be so bloody miserable and sure people have written this a thousand times before me. But today I feel so emotional and just down right scared. I’ve had the odd cramp every time it’s there I think it is period pain. I’m tearful. I only get like this before my period with irrational unexplained tears. I feel so pessimistic like it’s just not worked at all due to such familiar feelings of my monthly cycle 🙁 xx

Sorry you’re feeling so down but unfortunately I think it’s totally normal in this whole process! I wrote a similar post during my 2ww. I had lower back ache and felt irritable which is pretty much the normal run up to my period. Was down and convinced it hadn’t worked but then went on to get a bfp. I think you just can’t tell anything from symptoms! Pregnancy symptoms are so similar to period ones and all the drugs mess with you too! Good luck with the rest of your wait. 🤞💗

Thank u 😊 that’s made me feel a lot better!! I started positive had cramping day 2-3 and what I was convinced was implantation bleeding on day 4. Literally a one off small amount. Then it all settled other then cramps intermittently. I’m hoping it’s my mind playing tricks on me 💜 xx

It’s crazy isn’t it. One day you wake up with your positive pants on and the next day you feel really down and defeated! Definitely don’t rule yourself out. Take each day as it comes and hopefully it’s going to end in a bfp for you x x

Totally!! I have no reason to be be thinking this way. I feel so guilty as I’m not infertile and know people are going through so much worse. But this is just me a total worrier xx

It is totally ok to say you are not ok. Happens to all of us, this journey is not an easy one and meds and the hormones they mess with do not help with stress, anxieties and mood changes in general. Try to do something nice, for every down, there will be an up eventually. I am with you, tummy hurts, still headaches and really stressed husband and work deadlines during 2ww, meh. Trying to function... We will get through this though! All the best! 🌷

Thank u so much. Your right. I couldn’t be doing anything nicer in sat by a pool on holiday and should be just super relaxed I have been but it’s just hit me like a ton of bricks today! Really hope your coping too xx

[Tigr in reply to MakingbabyNM]

Sometimes it is even more difficult when we "should be relaxed as on pool" etc, because your mind just might not agree Treat it like a grumpy old friend that you do love although they are misearable sometimes

It's ok, it's normal at this point to have all sorts of emotions. Please try to enjoy your time away, rest and take it easy on yourself. Sending you lots of hugs xx

Unfortunately I think we all get days like this in the 2ww. Is an emotional time, not to mention that ou hormones are running riot which in turn makes our heads run riot too. Ive had 4 BFN's and last one got a BFP which we unfortuately miscarried but I dont really think I had any symptoms at that were different from the BFN. Big hugs, we have so much running on this 2ww that its no wonder we are all over the place....I cant help with you feeling better but I can tell you that its normal! Wishing you lots of luck for a positive outcome.xx

Thank u all so much. I’m on here because I just don’t want to exhaust my partner too much on our holiday. Even though it’s not a problem ever if I do!! Every time i feel a bit wobbly I seem to see a pineapple. 🍍 one fell of the store shelf on day 2 on front of me. On day 5 I was having dinner and the girl next to me had them all over her dress. And right now by the pool I’ve looked down to see a lady’s big bag also covered in them 🤣 I’m holding on to hope through little signs that comfort me xx

Hey there... hugs for you... we all can probably relate to it and understand your situation. It's totally normal, infertility struggle isn't an easy thing. Nonetheless you need to drive-away your mind from pondering on the negative thoughts if you're in 2ww currently. You've got to stay relaxed and do not panic to allow your physiological balance to continue and that is very very important to give the pregnancy it's best chance to happen. I know it's lot easier said than done... still you've got to try. The cramps can bring good news too... sometimes there's a benefit of being ambiguous you never know why the cramps are happening. I know loads of women who've had cramps and spotting around the last few weeks of their gestation and yet had healthy babies. Think of all the odds in a positive way and when you can't do something you like to do so that the mind is diverted to something else.

Thank u I was just majorly having a moment where I was questioning everything. After all of the lovely feedback I’m feeling much better off for dinner in the mountains this evening 😊

This was my first month where I didn’t cry! Every month for two years I’ve been the same. I’ve naturally turned off my feelings this month. No crying just I just feel numb x
