The other thing that is different about an IVF TWW for me is that when it doesn't work there is a very tangible sense of loss. The closest I have ever been to being pregnant is immediately after the transfer and even though it is only a few cells, it is still a part of you and something that has the potential to be your longed-for child. Our pattern in the TWW is usually feeling quite positive and content immediately after transfer, feelings that fade pretty quickly after a few days. In the first week I am reasonably good at keeping my mind off things but the second week turns me into a crazy person.
As I said before, there is no real advice I can give you other than to keep in mind your long-term goal. I realised last time that to ever get the result I want, I am going to have to go through a God-forsaken TWW first.
Also, the beautiful girls in here know how you are feeling when the people in your life probably don't. Just knowing someone understands can help a lot.
