Not doing ok...think I need to stop...

...I know I've posted here before about the meds not agreeing with me, so I hope I'm not pushing it. To be honest, I've reached my limit and I feel hopeless...I can't live like this anymore. I keep thinking that I don't want to be here at all.

I had a transfer on Monday...so am at the start of my two week wait, on 8mg of estrogen and 1ml progesterone shots a day. But I don't know if I can wait two weeks before coming off the medication. I know the embryo won't survive, but I'm not sure I will either.

This isn't me...I was a really happy person, now I can't cope, I can't stop crying, or thinking that everyone would be better off without me. I've never felt so desperately low, and a stranger in my own skin. The clinic don't really acknowledge the problem, and don't hesitate to increase my dosages even though I tell them how I feel.

My head is so foggy that I don't know what to do - stop the meds (there is a voice in my head saying, Jesus, stop taking that shit) or keep going til the 2ww is over.

thanks for reading

@Maggie272 hope you're doing well!

Maggie272 · 17/12/2019 12:44

@iRawra yes! I just tested again this morning - 8dp5dt and I'm still positive, the line is darker than it was on Saturday. Still being super cautious, and it is helping with the low mood... How are you?

@Maggie272 That's so good! Best of luck for you!

We've just reached 1 year TTC so not quite at this stage yet but feeling extremely deflated and anxious. I've just started taking COQ10 as I've heard wonders but no idea what the issue is yet. Am trying to get a GP appointment to start the ball rolling. So worried :(

@iRawra thank you!
I know it is so stressful, and deflated is definitely the word. So you are just starting on this journey? My very best of luck to you!

@Maggie272 I have just read through all this and I actually cried when I saw you had a positive test!! I am so happy for you, I really wish you all the best and pray that you start to feel better in your own skin very soon! Xxx

Thank you @Dot457! I'm being so cautious though...we had two chemicals. Cramps are coming and going, since Saturday, but no spotting, and by this day the last transfer I had begun spotting. Apparently the success rates with FET are a little higher.

THank you for your kind message, people were so nice on here and it really kept me afloat! xx

I hope you get a positive result and can start to feel a little better soon.

Maggie272 · 18/12/2019 07:56

@DiaryofWimpyMumm thank you so much. I am 9dp5dt and have a positive test. Not getting my hopes up, but it does help alleviate the low mood and anxiety xxx
