2ww negativity

firesiren

Am I the only one that is just feeling down during the 2ww?  I don't even want to go for my beta on Friday...  The whole thing just feels like a bust.  Is this normal?

Totally normal. Hugs and good luck.

From what I've seen on this board, it is normal and it sucks. I had a very down day after my first IVF and was usually feeling positive.

I'm sorry you're down. It's hard to feel hopeful sometime.

Have you been POAS? Depending on your personality, it can help to have some warning ahead of time. 

Hugs.

This! It is definitely normal to question and feeling down about this process. I started feeling really down on Friday and starting questioning if this cycle was working which is why I POAS and obviously it helped. However, my last cycle, I knew it failed about a week (due to lots of bleeding and a couple of BFN) before BETA and by the time the BETA came around, I had come to terms with the failed cycle.

It's totally a coping thing... prepare for the worst and hope for the best. 

You're still in this, so don't give up yet! You've done everything you can and hopefully that can bring you some peace.

Normal I think.  It is hard to feel positive when you have been let down before...It is a defense mechanism.  I really hope you get some good news on Friday!  Good luck to you!

P.S.  I am in the same spot right now and getting my beta on Friday also...not all that excited about it either

Good Luck, stay strong...

I know how you feel - I have been "willing" myself to feel crappy thinking it might be "pregnancy symptoms".  At this point it is more lunatic symptoms because my transfer was just Saturday.  It's sometimes hard to stay positive because in a way you are practicing self preservation if in fact it doesn't work out.  In short it is an emotional roller coaster.

Hang in there and try to stay positive - maybe POAS if you think it would help you?  ((HUGS))

I was quite negative during this 2ww; even though I knew the chances were very good, I just feel like the universe is out to get me .  I POAS on Friday and it was negative (6dp 5dt), and I pretty much gave up then.  I didn't want to, but I'd promised DH I would POAS on Monday, so I did--and it was very definitely positive.  So don't give up hope, but its ok to have your defenses up.
