feeling low on day of FET anyone else?

hi all

I’m just felt quite down in the last few days before My FET. I’m not sure this is normal or not, I’m on 400mg progesterone 3x a day and lubion and oestrogen 4mg 3x a day

So I know that’s a lot of hormones

But just wondered why I’m feeling down today of all days - I’m normally excited

ive Conceived 4 x in the last 2.5y but all resulted in early miscarriages

But even last time I was still optimistic and excited on day of ET

I don’t know if I’m broken and just lost all hope or what, thinking about that just makes me sad,

Not a happy bunny today and just wondered if any of you have felt the same on the day of transfer of all days? And maybe you could shed some light on why as I have no idea why

thank you

Much love and baby dust to you all

Hey hun sorry you are feeling this way. But trust me its all down to the hormones. Im two days before transfer and I feel exactly the same way. Very, very low in mood, unhappy and angry and I cant get myself to feel good. The progesterone is a monster, I think thats the main reason for the low mood.

Have a nice walk, eat a piece of your favourite cake and try to think about something nice, or just sit and dream of a bright happy future!

All the best of luck with your FET and I hope you feel better soon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am so sorry you are feeling like this. For me this got worse as each of the rounds went on. I think as Klndmr says a lot of it is due to the hormones etc, but also for me transfer day used to be about hope and excitement but as I did more and more rounds it became synonymous with negativity, disappointment etc., I found myself in a low mood because originally transfer day was 'PUPO day and we are going to get pregnant' and then later on it became a lot more negative as I learnt it was only phase one of a long process and I had miscarriages etc.. so I was feeling defeated before things had even started, and I think it was self protection.

The good news is that my negative thoughts were not accurate, and I have seen 100s of women on here have absolutely tragic experiences but then go on to get pregnant and have their baby, even after chemicals, miscarriages and endless failed rounds. So all is definitely not lost and I have a great feeling about this round for you. As Klndmr says look after yourself. Wrap yourself up in cotton wool, treat yourself to something. You have been through so much to get here, you are a total warrior, and you so deserve your happy ever after. Heaps of luck xx

thanks all

I really appreciate you getting back to me

I’m crying as I read your kind messages

From women I don’t know but it seems we all share this pain

I’m sorry you guys are probably on here with your own struggles

But thank you for kind words in my time of need

It means a lot

I’ve just felt so alone in all this

Because it’s gone on for so long everyone’s sympathy wanes eventually

And yet I’m still here in this.

Thanks for the luck and supportive messages and just understanding

And I wish you all the best too

Xxx
