2ww feeling emotional

[Blue-cat33]

Hi Everyone,

I don’t often write on this, but I am feeling particularly down today.

This is my second round of IVF. I had a double transfer on 15 Nov at 3days post retrieval. I have a low AMH, so decided to try the 2 that managed to make it it to Day 3.

I took a test 9dp3dt and came up with a negative which deflated me a little but I thought there is still a chance and to keep going. However I have noticed my CM is non existent even with the cyclogest I am taking twice a day.

My OTD is Sat and I just feel very deflated and emotional with the whole thing.

I am doing this on my own so wanted to just get it off my mind to those who would understand.

Thanks for reading.

Good luck to all of you.

This hit me hard.

I am sorry you are feeling like this. I took a test today 9DP5DT. It was a negative for me too but being 5 days post transfer I would definitely say I’m out. My official test day is tomorrow. I’m not retesting as I did a first response test and not even a tad of a line. Definitely over for me. All I would say is with a 3day transfer it does take longer for implantation to take place, this could explain why nothing has been detected.

Please stay strong until test day.

Wish you so much luck 🍀 xxx 😘

I wish you all the luck for the future. Xx

It's very hard and a lot of pressure to put on ourselves. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞

Yes it is. Thank you

Morning, I am in a very similar position. Did a three day transfer of two “struggling” embryos last Thursday. I am day 8 today and just tested (why do we do it 😫😫💔💔) and got a BFN. I am so sad - this is also my second round. I have felt really crappy this time round too with cramps and headaches so it’s made the entire experience worse .

Sending you lots of positive vibes 🤞🏼

[Blue-cat33 in reply to Abloured84]

Hello. I am sorry to hear about your BFN but I hope on OTD, you get a different result. I don't know why we do it to ourselves. I'm sending you hope and keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I was in exactly the same position last month. After two transfers showing positive at ten days on a FRER but then unfortunately miscarrying. I then tested every day from 6DP5DT last month. Was torture seeing the stark white tests each day. They do say you can get late positives but I feel chasing that hope made me so much worse.

Fifers crossed for you lovely x

[Blue-cat33 in reply to Hallj10]

I feel for you with your journey so far. I can only imagine the torture it must have been last month. I have refrained from testing until tomorrow, but I feel I know what the result will be. Thank you.

I wish you all the luck. X

At six days last that meant to say x

Hi lovely, sorry you're feeling like this - it's so hard.

There is still a chance for sure - and I wouldn't take too much notice of your symptoms to tell you either way. On my last FET I was convinced that my cervix should be higher and I should have way more discharge - but nope - and it was positive.

Everything crossed for you xx

[Blue-cat33 in reply to Millbanks]

Hi,

Thank you for your response. Really appreciate it.

All the best to you xx

Thank you. Just had norethisterone to force a period after needing prostap so hopefully starting cycle 2 next week. Fingers crossed for lots of good quality embryos. Good luck in your journey x

Hi Blue-cat33,

I’m sorry to hear that you are feeling down and about your negative test. IVF certainly is a role coaster of emotions.

Like you, I also have Low AMH and am doing this on my own. I recently had my third FET (no live births yet). I tested on my 7th day post transfer and it was stark white. I planning on doing one more test before my OTD on Wednesday. I have heard other ladies say on my FB groups that they’ve had no positive until quite late, so all hope is not lost yet.

Fingers crossed for you and wishing you all the best. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Xx

Hi Joy83,

Thank you, for sharing your experience and possible hope with me. I hope you get your positive on your next test. Sometimes it feels easier doing it on your own and sometimes, such as the 2ww and potential disappointment, I find, can be hard.

Appreciate you giving me info on the Facebook groups I can join. I will have a look.

Fingers crossed for you too and wishing you all the luck.

Xx

Thank you Blue-cat33. ☺️ Yes, I agree - sometimes it is easier doing this on your own (last year I had a partner who wasn’t ready for children, so I put things on hold. Now I am single again and can go ahead with my plan to have a child/ren and make all the decisions). Like you said, other times it is hard, especially when facing the disappointments alone.

I hope you find the groups useful - I know I have. Thanks again and wishing you all the best! 🤞🏻 X
