FET anxiety

[Sarah_a_2018]

I have my baseline scan on Monday for our FET on Monday and I'm excited about moving to the next stage for our embryo transfer but so anxious at the same time, I've been feeling so positive but now it's actually happening and the thought that this next transfer might not work again is really getting to me.

My manager took me aside yesterday to let me know that she's pregnant and wanted to tell me before she told the whole team as she didn't want me to be shocked and upset by it in front of everyone, just told her I was happy for her and thank you for thinking of me but then her saying she didn't want to upset me, upset me! 😭

I have to sit across from her at work and everyone comes over to congratulate her and she feels like she can't talk to them in front of me so just tells them I'll speak later and I just feel so awkward and for me it's just painful that's not helping my anxiety right now - feel like I just need to get signed off but I want to keep everything as normal as possible 😩

As awkward as it might feel, it might have felt worse by them have a good old chinwag about it all! This is such a difficult time for you and you’re emotions will jump from one place to the next, just know that your doing great and out off all the transfers in the world happening when yours does, there are so many who will get a bfp and so why not you hey.

I felt totally overwhelmed on my last cycle and got signed off and it did me the world of good, it made me realise that I am number one and how much we just plod along without knowing how much our Heath can be suffering because of that. But not everyone is the same! You need to do what’s best for you and what feels right. Just try to be kind to yourself, nothing good ever came from thinking about what might never happen xxxx lots of hugs to you xxxxx

Hi Sarah, sorry to hear you are feeling this way. I can really relate on the anxious feelings. I have also got my baseline scan on monday and have been looking forward to starting again. But I had the worst sleep last night, I was feeling so anxious, and now I am just so nervous that we are going to get the same results this time. People tell me to be hopeful and I am trying to be and that is what I would say to you, this could be your time 🤞

Really really bad timing at work with your manager. If I was you and able to I would take some time for you, If it means being signed off then do so, if the situation at work is going to make you feel worse as things progress your end it might be worth just not being there to protect yourself.

Wishing you so much luck lovely, mine is a fresh cycle again as ours got abandoned before transfer 😔 let's see how we go xxx

Hello lovely. Aw I’m feeling same as you have my baseline tomorrow for FET I’m

Terrified for this stage of the process. Waited so long to get here and so nervous.

Finger crossed for you. That’s also a tough situation at work. Xxx

I know how you feel! That's really kind of your colleague but I'm so sorry you have to put up with everyone else! Try and be positive or at least cautiously optimistic for your transfer on Monday. You have no idea what's in store and deal with whatever the outcome is when you get to it. Wishing you so much luck. Sounds ridiculous but i have the photo of the embryo from our current transfer under a little ganesh statue i have.... It really gives me hope! Xxx

Thanks everyone, I spoke to my manager today and she fully supports me taking time off if I need it, just need to keep my work up to date that someone can pick it up for me if I need to be out the office for a while

Feeling a bit better today, baseline scan on Monday 🤞 xx
