Only 1 left and waiting...

[Ariel2015]

So IVF finished which is a relief! From 9 eggs, 6 fertilised and from them 4 where doing good until day 3! We went to transfer day and we were left with one!! I was trying not to cry keep saying to myself “we only need 1!!!”

Thank got this time we are waiting pre Christmas time which I am glad as there are a lot of distractions and high spirits around!! But I worry!! I wake up every day at 4 am and keep thinking!!

4th IVF cycle and still haven’t developed a coping mechanism for the prior to test period! Do I stay positive?! Then when I get disappointed I am always devastated!! Do I think negative just in case we get a good surprise but I do not want to put any negativity thoughts towards it! I find the time till test day the worse time ever!!

Any help or ideas that I can take the stress away are welcome! Especially to stop me waking up at 4am as I am now shattered!!

Hello! It is so hard during the 2ww as you know. I would just try and relax, try not to think about it (easier said than done I know) but please don’t stress yourself out.

I didn’t sleep very well for weeks and I found no cure for it I’m afraid. But I do think you should try and take some for yourself before bed and try and keep positive but don’t over think things. Fingers crossed that this little one sticks and it’s your time this time xxx

I dont really have any coping mechanisms, the 2ww is a killer.....Ive done it 7 times now and doesnt really get any easier. The only thing I can suggest is try to get out into the fresh air for some long walks, will hopefully help clear your head and help you sleep better. Good luck.xx

Hi, I know this feeling so well we lost 6 between day 3 and 5, transfer day. I was in such shock and then got obsessed with testing down and testing, watching Netflix..and my copying mechanism was to pretend I was totally pregnant because this was literally the closest I have ever been to being pregnant. So I was just happy we got to that stage with that one embryo...and now I am almost 32 weeks pregnant with that one little fighter. Miracles do happen. Sending lots of love xxxx

Thank you very much!! I am trying to overanalyse every little thing or sign of my body!! I will try to put on the back of my head!! What it’s meant to be it will be!!!

Congratulations not long now!! I am happy for every woman that is pregnant for the ones that they do not have to go through what we are going through!! But I am overly happy for every single one in this group ... because we did not just late it happen but fought and sacrificed a lot!

I will keep you posted ... thank you all for the support!!! Xxx
