Insomnia

I am due our first FET next week. I have had insomnia for past 5 months and am worried that the lack of sleep will affect it. I know stress can have an affect but can sleep deprivation??

I don't know what to do. Nothing is stopping the insomnia so it's not like I can delay until it's fixed as there doesn't seem to be a fix and we've waited so long to get to finally being able to transfer I can't wait any longer but don't want it to fail due to this

If it helps I've had insomnia for years. I kept having failed transfers and was worried this was the reason, even though I read studies that said it didn't! my last transfer finally worked and nothing has changed with the insomnia so it was likely something else.

Amazing thankyou. This is the only thing that might affect it and I don't want that to stress me out as that will make it worse haha. Glad it worked for you that helps me knowing that x

I also struggled with insomnia even after cutting caffeine and was terrified it had ruined our FET since I slept terribly the 2 nights after. The FET was successful and the worry was for nothing! Unisom has worked wonders for me. Should be available in the UK. You may want to check with your doc first but mine always told me it was completely safe to take. I would take a capsule 1 hour before bed and sleep so much better.
