I am due to have a FET on wed - when I had my transfer before I was full of excitement and hope whereas this time I just feel like I’ve got nothing in the tank.
I am taking estrogen tablets as this is a frozen cycle and I have never done this before as both previous cycles were fresh.
Have others experienced this with the HRT? This is the most ‘overly emotional’ I’ve ever felt, I’m normally pretty level headed and rational and just keep bursting into tears at the moment.
I’m hoping it will pass once I spoke the tablets but just wondering what people’s experiences are?
Also anyone else planned for Wednesday? 😊

Hi, IVF is an emotional rollercoaster and the drugs really do not help!I had days when I was fine and others the slightest thing would disarm me and I would be an emotional wreck! I rolled with the emotions - not sure if that is the best thing but also not sure what else we can do! Keep your head up and you will have a little part of you inside you soon. xx
Yeah I’m feeling so up and down as generally feeling better this evening. I’ve decided that getting through each day until OTD is an achievement at this stage. Thanks 😊
Sorry to hear you are struggling too! But you’ve certainly helped me by reminding me this is a phase and not forever so right back at you! Getting through each day is a step closer to results xxx
I kept randomly bursting into tears while eating my dinner or when my husband annoyed me slightly, then the next minute I'd be hyper and silly. Just let it all hang out and let yourself feel all the feels. It's normal to feel overly emotions with the drugs plus the rollercoaster of IVF generally.
I can relate to this so much, yesterday I just flipped out at my husband and then 5 mins later had to apologise and cried about it ... which is just not like me at all! And then later on I was laughing and joking. Good to know and confirm it’s the hormones and I’m not losing it! 🤣
Hi there! I'm in on Wednesday so we're cycle buddies again! Wishing us both lots of luck 🍀✨
Sorry to hear you're having a tough time. I'm not on the same meds as you but I'd say it's (unfortunately) normal. I'm on a higher dose of Progesterone this time... Sticking pessaries in places they really shouldn't go 🙈 Feeling ok thanks to yoga and meditation I think... but so, so nervous about embryo thawing. Just praying everything will be ok. Xxx
Everything crossed that it's our turn! ✨✨🍀 I'm feeling pretty excited... Esp. as my doctor changed my protocol from our initial review meeting so we're at this stage about 6 weeks earlier than I had thought!
BUT this whole process is one long worry... Just want to fast forward to transfer day now and be leaving the clinic!
I'm on Crinone gel as I'm on my final NHS round so can't have injections.
Have you got any (non exciting Covid friendly) plans for the 2ww?! Xxx
Good luck to you today! Hopefully the embryos defrost ok for us both.
I’m planning to test every day this time to try and maintain my sanity. Today after transfer we’re going to get a click and collect from one of our favourite restaurants. Other than that no plans - it’s bloody hard to be distracted during lockdown isn’t it!
Good luck to you today too! ✨✨ I am currently feeling sick with nerves!!
That sounds like a lovely idea! We are actually moving out of our house temporarily as building works are happening and it will be unlivable here- so we're off to our little holiday let. I've taken a week off but hoping to do those little jobs you never get round to doing to keep my mind busy. As well as some nice walks and surviving off Netflix!!
That’s a great idea! Sounds lovely ☺️ Small jobs are good to keep you busy but not too much to stress you out - I might make a list of bits I need to round the house too now you’ve said that!
I’ve booked a long weekend next weekend to just take some time out from work to deal with my emotions .. it’s also husbands bday .. if I could give him a positive test for his bday that would be superb ❤️🍀🙏🤞
Hello lovely, I can totally relate. I was exactly the same. I felt filled with hope for my first FET, like everything was magic and falling into place, and then it didn't work. Then for my second FET I was outright negative, not feeling any of that at all. It worked and I just heard the heartbeat today. The HRT definitely makes one more emotional, even depressed. I confirm that your attitude will no affect outcome. Best of luck and baby dust to you xoxoxo
Your reply is so helpful for me today...I’m glad to hear your experience as I just think sometimes when the weight of ‘be positive’ is placed on you as well it’s just too much along with everything else! What a wonderful day for you today - congratulations! Wishing you the best for the rest of your pregnancy xxx
Hi lovely, so weird that your post just came up as I was literally thinking the same thing. I've been in this situation 4 times now. I have my lining scan tomorrow, to see if we're ready to start progesterone and transfer next week. I'm so anxious that there will be another cyst, or the lining will be too thin or some other thing I've not come across before will put a stop to it all. I feel so up and down - the tablets are almost certainly to blame but it doesn't help does it! Hope all goes well for you today xx
