Infertility

Not feeling positive today

I'm 4dp5dFEt and just not feeling PG.

I'm trying to imagine how I'd deal with a BFN this time.  I really think this is the end of the road for us. We have 5 great blasts left on ice but I just can't see spending more money to put them back when clearly nothing is working.  It's like every penny I spend on IF is a penny I should be putting in my son's college fund or something (sorry for the mention of my son on here, but it plays a part.)

I really should go on BCP to manage my endo and avoid pain and a 3rd lap, so it's not like I can just see what happens after this.

I just yesterday told someone to try to avoid getting upset until there was something to be upset about. Why can't I take my own advice?

I can't believe I have more than another week of this limbo.

    Good luck!

  • I firmly believe the 2ww is the cruelest part of an IVF cycle.  I hope the days start to pass quickly for you...

    And I'll be positive for you, if you'd like!  :)

  • The 2ww really sucks.

    But try to not to feel bad b/c you don't feel anything.   I have absolutely ZERO symptoms and my 1st beta was 417.

    Honestly... try not to over analyze and treat yourself well.  It's just too early to know.   

    I hope that helps...

    And PS - It's always harder to take our own advice! Wink

  • I'm sorry you're feeling so hopeless.  The 2ww is the absolute worst.  I really hope this happens for you and you surprise yourself.  Hang in there!

    You are in protective mode, hon.  I know is is hard, but try not to read too much into your negative feelings and all of the thoughts swirling around.. you are most likely steeling yourself.

    Totally normal and totally understandable.

    Hang in there.

  • It is such a roller coaster cutie. My emotions are all over the place during 2ww, convinced it worked to knowing it will be a big fat fail.

    There is no reason why this won't work cutie. 

    We'll keep pulling for you and you just do what you need to do to deal with it.
