Third FET coming up and feeling low

[Pebbles345]

Hi,

Hope everyone is doing well. I haven't written on here for a while but I've been reading people's success stories which is always encouraging.

We've got another FET coming up next week and I'm on a high amount of progynova plus patches and I think it's playing havoc with my moods! Most of the time I have felt OK and just been getting on but today I just feel so sad and keep crying. I went out today and saw families buying Christmas trees and received a text from a friend that I know due to shared infertility and she's now pregnant. It's just made me feel so low and sorry for myself. I feel like I'm always congratulating others and I just don't know when it will be our turn. It's been 4 years now and it's just so hard sometimes!

I'm coming on here because I know many of you understand how it feels and are always such a great support ❤️.

Sorry if this is a bit moany, just a bad day xxx

Hey there! I know how it feels exactly. And it sucks, and that feeling of “why me?”

It helped me to distance myself from pregancy news of others. And when it did happen, I would just smile and congratulate and force myself not to feel bad. Coz feeling bad invites these surge of negative and sad emotions which triggers the hormone that none of us want right now - cortisol. don’t focus your energies on them. Focus on yourself.

I would only tell u, that u r not alone in this, and although there are many around you who are getting pregnant around like in a blink, you will get there too. However, your journey is longer than others. Much longer, and that’s how nature planned for us. Let’s accept it and keep fighting. We will keep fighting because we know if we don’t then we are not doing justice to ourselves, and then we are only increasing the likelihood of it not happening. So we keep fighting! Coz that’s what we can promise to our future child, ourselves and this universe.

So we keep fighting, coz if we keep fighting and don’t take no for answer then our bodies will also go in the warrior mode and fight against things that are stopping it from happening.

Someone told me - “what’s yours is yours. No one can it take it away from you. It might just take unusually longer for you, but it will happen!”

Now give yourself and your body a boost and continue the journey with all the positive vibes. Have faith, and have hope! It will happen to you and it will happen to every woman in this group who stands tall till the end.

Sending hugs! 🤗
