2WW affecting mood?!

[IVFjourney1]

I’m currently on day 4 of 2WW after FET and I’m wondering if anyone had any experiences of it impacting your mood? I’m feeling irritable and sad at times and didn’t have this on the 1st round,just wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences on their 2WW? ☺️

Hi, I definitely remember going through a rough time with my emotions my first round. The irritability was strong! I put it down the meds but it really is a tough time, regardless.

Do you have a partner or friend to share this with? If so, make sure you’re super honest and clear about the support you feel you need.

I’m about to go in to my FET tomorrow so I’m right behind you in the TWW!

Thank you for your reply and helpful to hear you had similar experiences with emotions! Yes I do and they are who are I am irritable with so will have a chat so he is aware! Good luck for today xx

I am currently in day 3 of my TWW. I don’t feel irritable just have bouts of anxiety.

It is possible that the meds are making you feel like this due to change in hormone levels too.

I’ve been using the Mindful IVF app which has helped kept me calm. There are different recordings for the TWW that may help you.

I hope you’re sadness goes and you’re feeling your self soon. Take care and the best of luck for a successful pregnancy! xx

yeah on a couple do rounds I felt like my head was gonna start spinning like something out the exercise I was so down and grumpy for a few days 🙈 it’s just the hormones and they seem to be slightly different each time! I found a good walk cleared my head or some days I just went to my bed early with a Netflix show so as not to take it out on the rest of the world lol good luck lovely xx

Thank you very much for sharing your experience, it’s reassuring to know it’s the hormones and I’m trying to walk daily and like you said it’s a good idea to take yourself out the situation if you feel like your going to snap! xx

Omg I'm on similar timings I had ET on Monday 30th.

God damn does the smallest things annoy me. I've also been waking to go toilet and then laying anxious after.

This is currently the longest 2Weeks ever!

Aside from moods how are you feeling?

Also, turquoisewater... Good luck we are all in the same window! How's your journey been?

[TurquoiseWater in reply to Capri93]

thank you! I also wake up feeling anxious!! I’m trying my hardest to get at least 8hours sleep a night but I keep waking up earlier! My hubby bless him is also sleeping in the spare room so that he doesn’t disturb me!!

I’m just taking each day as it comes and being as positive as possible!!

Good luck to you on your journey!! 💕🤞🏽

[IVFjourney1 in reply to Capri93]

Thanks for your reply, my emotions have since settled since the first week which is good! No longer snapping for no reason! Wishing you lots of good luck xx

How did you get on? IVFjourney1

Aww bless the hubby going all out!

I fid a really silly thing and did a early test 6 and 7dp3dt and I thought I saw a line on 6dp3dt but today's seems negative... feeling deflated and not so great.

It's still early so not all hope is lost.

Absolutely, the hormones, the stress it is a roller coaster. Last week work annoyed me I went to vent to the Finance Director. Burst into tears on him. He didn’t have a clue what was going on.
