Suddenly Feeling Hopeless

Reaching the end of my wait to see if my first FET has been successful. Test day is tomorrow but have been feeling really down last few days.

I have had little symptoms just some bloating!until the last couple of days. Just started to feel extremely hungry all the time, nausea, sweats during the night and some cramping last night in which kept me awake and I had to take a paracetamol. The cramping is still there now but in the background no spotting but feels like mild period pains. I just feel so hopeless and that I am set to fail again.

I know I cannot do anything now but I just wish I wasn’t experiencing these symptoms it gets you down and you can’t think about anything else waiting for blood to appear and to face a negative result.

In my last round which was fresh transfer I started to bleed before test day. Anyone had this in a Frozen transfer before a negative?

Think I am just going slowly insane!

❤️💕❤️

Hey lovely. I think this is a common thing on your second transfer. I remember not letting myself get excited for fear of the let down.

Unfortunately progesterone can give you all of those symptoms. Our last FET I was CONVINCED I was pregnant but sadly not.You have a strength that I just don’t have holding out until test day! I’m usually testing from 4dpt.

I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed for you that it’s positive. Good luck!! ❤️

I was feeling so positive but since these new symptoms I just think it’s all signs of failure.

I had night sweats after my first failure but cramps before which why I am feeling hopeless.

Just have to keep everything crossed that this has all been worth going through.

🤞❤️

I dunno if it’s the same with everyone, but progesterone also makes me feel super low and negative. Your body is going through so much! I also get really bad night sweats on it. Let me know how you go tomorrow. I’m always free for a chat either way. 🤞

Thank you 🙏

Yes I think the progesterone does cause a lot of symptoms. It’s horrible. But they just remind me if pre period symptoms.

I know exactly the way you are feeling lablover5658..... I have my blood test aswell tomorrow and since yesterday Im trying to think of ways I am going to cope if we get a negative again 😔 This is such a cruel cruel journey for those of us in it a long time....this is our 7th round. I would be happy to stay in this little 'hopeful bubble' of mine for another few days

This journey is like torture. No matter how strong you get yourself fir the emotion and physical changes. It makes no difference it hits you in all ways. The fact that it is is totally out of our control is so hard too.

Big hugs and 🤞for a good result.

absoulutely true 😭😭 3rd transfer here.

Hi LabLover, awh I hope you're ok.

I've only ever made it to test day once (out of three transfers). This was with a frozen one, but also didn't make it with a freshie either.

You have more symptoms than me. I'm 8dp4dt and feel absolutely nothing - zilch, zero, nada. So who even knows anymore :(

I really hope you get the result you want tomorrow, I have absolutely everything crossed for you 🙏🙏 xxxx 😘

Thank you. All the will power takes its out of you. When you don’t any symptoms it feels the bubble of hope. I just keep now thinking about the cramping I had last time before my test day which led to bleeding and a BFN.

The stress and emotion is just catching up with me. The calm, in control lady that started this journey has gone. I am slowly losing it.

Still trying to keep the hope ❤️

Best of luck for the rest of your journey I hope you get a positive result. 💕

It’s such a hard journey, especially when you’ve had those experiences previously, as much as we try to not be anxious and relax it’s near impossible! One more sleep! Will be thinking of you, good luck!! Xx

It’s so hard and totally normal to feel down the closer you get to test day. It’s a rock n roll kinda 🎢 and ya don’t / won’t know until test day. Try not to be too upset early ..... no point crying twice .... and maybe , just maybe it’ll be ok 🤷🏼‍♀️ you are nearly there 💐💖 hold on 💐
