Hope diminishing

[Mh2698]

Im currently 5dp5dt and im having all of my usual tell tale signs that af is going to make an appearance right on time. Every ivf & fet has been the same result and im so over this. 8 years of treatments & procedures and no take home baby.

Ive done everything required of me, I’ve followed instructions down to the letter, taken meds at the exact time needed, i eat healthy and ive tried everything imaginable to improve my chances yet nothings changed, the outcome always turns out the same.

I feel like im going around a roundabout with no exits.

Hi babe, I'm 6dp5dt and have been having cramps since my transfer on and off. Who knows what they are - real or drugs but I'm just trying to be realistic and hopeful at the same time. Its so so hard, the 2ww is a rotten time for sure.

I'm 6 years into this journey and haven't ever even seen a positive test result so it's really depressing when you are trying your best. Try not to be too hard on yourself. You just have to get through the next week or so and then you will know for sure. I need to take my own advice 😂😂😂😂

I'm so sorry for you.. 8 years is a significant amount of time... You must have been through a lot... Really feel for you if you need someone to talk to, feel free to send me a message.I'm currently in the 2WW as well and my blood test is tomorrow but I'm on the verge of tears and I made sure to take a day off tomorrow to weep and grieve as I'm expecting a negative result...

Sorry to hear the 2WW is so stressful (although I’m not sure there’s a non stressful 2WW!!). The progesterone can mimic lots of af symptoms so I wouldn’t give up hope yet. I’m booked for a transfer on Wednesday so let’s see if I can follow any of my own advice 🙈. Really hope you get your positive xxx

Hi Mh. Just keep up with any prescribed medication and test on the day recommended by your clinic. Don't forget the Folic Acid and Vitamin D. Good luck! Diane
