Can anger affect the outcome?

[TheFoxes]

Hi Gang. I have been awake since 5am worrying. Today I am 4dp5dt Last night my partner and I got in a massive row (we normally get on very well but this was over an issue that has come up again and again and again- you know the one!). I got so angry I shouted (for a while). Now I am really worried that getting so angry will have blown my chances of getting pregnant. Does that sound silly? But I really have this terrible feeling that it’s all over. Has anyone ever had an almighty row with their partner in the 2WW and then gone on to get a BFP?

I think you are worrying yourself unnecessarily!!

I haven’t argued with my husband, but we never have in the 14 yrs we’ve been together!!

I have shouted several times at our dog, as he gets over excited and jumps up on you, he’s a Rottweiler and bloody heavy, before my BFP (as I’m 9 weeks now) he ran at my back full pelt and leaped at me hitting my back with a glancing blow!

I also kicked off at a couple of carpet fitters last week who caused extensive damage to our property fitting two carpets!

I needed to be rescanned yesterday and the jelly baby is moving around quite happily

So please don’t worry yourself

You have nothing to worry about. I've had arguments with my husband in this time and been stressed/worried/down but it's not had any effect. I think it's just better for your overall wellbeing if you can be calm during this time, as you have enough to worry about already! X

Hey, Yes me and my partner had a massive row when I was in my 2ww... the row happened 6dp5dt and I just rented air bnb for 2 days so I could calm down and return to a nice and quiet household. My partner was NOT happy with me leaving like that but you need to do what’s best for you and your little emby.

Seriously; just think about yourself and only yourself. It’s your time to be as selfish as you want..

I’m 16weeks now. Xx

Congratulations!! And thank you! I really appreciate you sharing this this. I really feel I have blown it. It was that type of anger that gets triggered when someone repeatedly transgresses your boundaries. My partner is absolutely wonderful but like all marriages we have our little sore spots!!!! Thanks for this story- it has given me some hope. Xxx

I know exactly what kind of row you have in mind! I used to smoke cigarette and I was so mad that I went and bought a pack of cigarettes. But then luckily my senses came back and I chucked the pack away ( what a waste of money). Try not to overthink about you affecting the baby with that one row; but seriously put yourself first xx

Please don’t be stressed about the row. My husband and I had a massive row in the car on the way home from the actual transfer - the moment we are supposed to be calm and zen. We then continued being annoyed all through the evening. I did lots of googling ‘have I harmed my chances’. It seems to have zero effect on it working so don’t worry. (I’m 15 weeks now!) Think of all the millions of babies conceived naturally. Those parents probably had big fights all without even realising what was happening inside. Hope you can talk yourself out of worrying. If it’s going to implant it will, regardless. Sending a big hug x x

Congratulations 🎉. That is so brilliant. And your post has genuinely lifted my spirits. I will keep positive vibes about it. Thank you. Xxx

Also my partner and I have both lolled at the stories of other rows. Part of being a couple in love I think ❤️ 🤣

No I wouldn’t worry at all, with my first baby I was in 2WW and had a few meltdowns. Emotional stresses don’t stop implantation. If that was the case women in Africa worrying where the next food on the table is coming from would never have kids or during the war times!

I am now 11 weeks with my second and again I’ve been a right moody cow!! Good luck 🤞🙏🏻💖
