Progynova, patches and panic.

[glt01]

Hello all!

Hope everyone is doing well. Just a post to vent about my almost overwhelming anxiety... so feel free to scroll by if you're not feeling it!

So we had our last FET attempt cancelled because my womb lining dropped drastically- quite rare apparently but then I am the girl who got OHSS pre egg collection... 🙄

(I also got hemiplagic migraines and severe nausea due to the progynova)

This time they've added in patches aswell to try to avoid the womb lining drop, we're currently (last thursday) at 5.9mm at 7 days so hopefully with max dose progynova and patches we will finally get there for a transfer.

My current brain fuzz is holy sh*t a transfer and what if it doesn't take... then my brain says what if it takes and you miscarry... then it says what if you get pregnant and it all goes wrong later in the pregnancy...

Has anyone got any tips for toxic IVF thinking? I'm trying so hard to be positive but am really struggling because of how long we've been trying and how crap everything has gone so far and how poorly it's making me. I've started getting palpitations and mild panic attacks again and know it's not good, work has been really stressful recently and I'm a bit burnt out but I cant self- certify sickness and also my medical centre is shut for 3 weeks so have no option of being signed off...

I've been trying to do relaxation and yoga but I'm at the point where I dont think we will ever have kids and i dont know how i could deal with another failed/abandoned attempt.

Sorry for being a moany minnie. Thank you in advance for your tips and tricks ❤

I know exactly what you mean. Try reading either The Secret or The Power both by Rhonda Byrne. Sounda silly but its helped me. All about positive thinking, which I know we try to do bit it seems impossible sometimes, the booksreally puts it all in perspective for me xxxxxx
