Feeling low

[Summerloving17]

Hi ladies,

I am feeling so awful this morning and in need of any positive vibes or joining me on a rant!

Day 7 of norhisterone prior to starting FET medicated cycle. I have had awful insomnia and already gained 3lbs when I have been working so hard to try and lose the gain from my failed fresh, ectopic and previous long protocol iui cycles. I literally can’t deal with feeling so out of control of my body, my confidence is so low as i can’t fit in any clothes and for the last two years it has been for nothing. I know I am lucky to have frozen embryos but physically and mentally I’m not even sure I can go through much more. Sorry for the rant, I am going to the gym in hope of feeling a bit better!!

All of you are amazing and just so strong xxx

Sorry you're having such a tough time summer. I ca relate to feeling so out of control of your body. I had 3 fresh ivf cycles last year, including a mc and a cp and all ended in nothing. After the 3rd failure in Dec we decided to take at least 6-9 months off. Partially to do further testing. It also because my body just needed a break. We went out for a romantic meal right before Christmas and I wore a dress and heels and it was the first time in a year I felt like a woman and not an egg making machine.

Now it's been a few months I feel like I'm getting back in control of my body and while part of me wants to start treatment again, this break has done me worlds of good. Hopefully this FET will work for you but if not, I would take a few months out. I know the feeling of 'I can't stop until it works' but in the grand scheme of things a few months likely won't change anything.
