Can't see it

Hi Ladies 💖 I'm just sharing/asking because I'm feeling slightly alone with my thoughts. My hubby and I have been TTC for just over 2 years and ended up needing to go down the IVF route. I've been slightly pessimistic throughout each stage, but always had amazing results each step of the way. Our FET is happening this week, and once again, I'm trying to be hopeful, but my negative thoughts never seem to cease. My thinking is, I've always wanted to be a mum for as long as I remember, but lately, I'm finding it so difficult to even picture myself being pregnant, like it seems so distant, even though it's something I want more than anything. I don't know if that makes sense...anyone else feel/had the same? Some positive stories would be lovely 💕

Girl I did IVF and I’m 26 weeks pregnant with our princes . It was such an emotional journey but I’m so thankful for IVF. Stay positive I know it’s hard . I’m excited for you 🥰

It’s definitely just a coping mechanism to ease disappointment Feel all the feels and don’t stress about being stressed I have a 1 year old and the worry never ever stops it just changes All your feelings are normal Good luck !

I have 14 yr old twins and a one month old, all from IVF. I have PCOS and have never been able to get pregnant on my own. I’ve been pregnant 6x with IVF. Don’t give up. It will hopefully work right away but if it doesn’t, it’s worth it to keep trying.

Oh yes. Over 5 years TTC. 2 cycles of ivf. First cycle x2 fresh embryos failed to implant, non frozen. 2nd cycle x5 blasts. Fresh transfer ended in a missed miscarriage. 2nd transfer I am currently 32 weeks and I still sometimes find it hard to believe it’s happening. Whilst I hoped it would always work the constant disappointment was very hard. I would say preparing yourself for every outcome is a good idea, my first cycle went nothing like I anticipated eg I thought I would get loads of embryos and lots of transfers. So don’t put too much expectation on things and just take each step as it comes. That’s how we have even treated this pregnancy. We had even planned our life and what we would do if we didn’t have children and how long we were going to try for before we stopped and said we had tried enough. Best of luck, just remember if the embryo is going to stick it will. Don’t beat yourself up in thinking you need to be perfect for the embryo to stick.

Hi Amy, I’m in the same boat as you and I’m finding it tough to remain positive. Happy to chat further, send me a DM if you want to 💛

Our first fresh ivf cycle worked and I remember as soon as finding out I was pregnant thinking do I want this? Are we ready? Which was mental as we obviously did want it and was ready as took us so much to get there. I think deep down it was fear of this not working out and having even more heartbreak. Wishing you all the luck xx

Hi Amy, my FET is this week too, so we’re in similar boats. If you want to chat you can x

Hi Amy I feel exactly the same way. I’m in a different position as I have a 6 yr old (no issues ttc) however I’ve spent over 3 yrs ttc baby #2 (in my tww for my 4th transfer now). I feel like when I was pregnant with my son was a different person and I can’t actually believe my body can do it again, I feel very much like I don’t understand my body Wishing you all the luck, keep the faith xx
