Anxity at FET

[farmgirl77]

Hello,
After just wanting to get AF so we could start a FET cycle - I'm finding myself scared of what is going to happen. I know I just seem to whinging and negative all the time, but I'm scared of this cycle not working, or if it does, scared of getting PG and having something go wrong. I cant be happy either way

Does this mean that I'm not yet mentally in the space to do the FET? Or is this just a normal part of this journey?

while reading your post it all seemed too familiar to me

The feelings and emotions you are experiencing are all normal, or at least i felt them too

BB is wonderful with support to help you get through these times

FG - i would have to say it all sounds completely normal to me! i found that, the closer i got to any particular procedure (IUI, EPU, FET), i got so much more anxious. waiting i could deal with - i'd whinge and whine about it, but i KNEW what was coming. i wasn't always sure what to expect with the next procedure - and the fear of failure makes me hugely anxious! what if it doesn't work?? what then?? what if it DOES work?? i don't know what to do if things go right...

i think that, for me, if i'm NOT feeling something - anxiety, fear, what ever it may be - if i'm not feeling that, i honestly think i'm not in tune with what is happening. this is a huge thing for us all - they're putting back and embryo that is effectively "alive" - and it's up to our body to protect that embryo - that's a huge amount of pressure to put on ourselves.

but in the end, the anxiety will go - hopefully after 9 lovely pg months! and it will all be more than worth it

good luck

Thanks for the support - once again I'm glad that this is normal and I'm not yet totally losing my mind

FG, sounds normal to me. No, you're not losing your mind (as much as it sometimes feels like you are!)
I'm doing a FET cycle this month after an almost 6 month much needed break and I'm feeling anxious about the whole thing for a lot of reasons. There will always be some amount of anxiety when you're going into a new cycle, so I would say all the thoughts running through your mind, and the emotions are completely normal.
Just read your sig....I have my first scan for this cycle on Thursday too.

Sounds like it is part of that rollercoaster ride we are all on! If you are worried the clinic can usually advise you on a counciller that deals mostly with fertility, if you havent already spoken to someone like this, I found it really helpful. GL
