I'm having one of those....bla nights as I call them. Can't be bothered with anything and feeling a bit low.
In the middle of FET and taking my medications , hopefully we'll get the egg transfer done on in the next two weeks. This is my first egg transfer for IVF (previous two IUI's didn't work).
I've got poly cystic ovaries and I'm overweight (which doesn't help I know).
Fed up of my body feeling ...not like mine. And just a machine to rattle a cocktail of medications and needles with. But I guess that's part of the journey.
I'll be starting the pessaries at the end of the week (lucky me lol) and more injections.
These forums can be great for support but also gets a bit overwhelming sometimes seeing things others are going through... especially parts I haven't gotten to and like most people the biggest fear of a miscarriage.
Anyway...I'm waffling now but just thought I'd see if anyone else is feeling the same tonight. My husband can never understand (as lovely as he is).

Hi, I’m sorry you are feeling a bit rubbish. I’ve had 4 rounds of ivf so I know what an emotional rollercoaster it is. I sometimes used to go to bed really early during ivf because I just wanted the day to be over. There are many of us here who know what you’re feeling. Also I can reassure you that although there are lots of tough stories on here there are also lots of happy endings. I’m one of them. I’m lying in bed next to my baby right now. I wish you lots of baby dust & hope that this round works! Fingers crossed for you xxx
Thank you so much for your message Sam and I'm delighted it all worked for you xxx
Hope you are feeling a bit better this morning.
I think tbh what you are feeling is very common, its a mix of all the meds plus your brains self protection not letting you get too excited about what might be - you will find in a few days you are feeling all positive and optimistic again, its just part of the roller coaster of IVF!
My only advice is to see it as a hurdle race, each day and each big event is a hurdle that you need to overcome - you have got over yesterday and your bla night last night, its a beautiful sunny morning and you are doing something positive towards getting your family. A lot of people on here are still on waiting lists etc so whilst it may not feel like it but you are lucky for actually being able to start a round. You got to FET, it may not feel like it but some people don't get past day 3 - some don't get embryos at all - so you are lucky for that. I think at times like this we need to get an early night like Sam_82 says and then start afresh the next day trying to find a couple of positive things about the day - ive found two for you already
Another tip is a mindfulness app - will just calm your head down a bit.
I would take some time off this forum if its stressing you out. There is no reason why you won't be the person who it works for first time and you have a successful pregnancy - so channel that positivity and try so hard to be grateful for the positive things in your life - I know its difficult when you rattle with all the drugs.
If anyone knows I know that stressing and getting upset about what might happen achieves precisely nothing and doesnt help if the worst does happen either. So positive thoughts from here on in
Oh and the pessaries are a doddle, I wouldn't worry about them.
