staying positive
hello, everyone. i'm new to this board. i'm 28, and i had my first et yesterday. everything looked great -- a morula and an 8-cell both grade 1, and a perfect 11 mm lining -- so there's no reason to think it won't work. however, today, i've just been feeling down like it's already failed. did anyone else go through this after their et's? how do you get past it? this was my only chance this year since insurance doesn't cover fertility treatments, so i don't know what i'll do if i don't get my bfp.

Dear Cadys,
I know whatever I say will ring hollow however, there is truth to staying positive and it being good for you and this procedure. Here are some facts that might help you: there is absolutely no way for you to know if this worked or not until the blood test. Our bodies play such tricks on us... I have a lot of friends in the medical community--especially focusing on this field--and they tell me repeatedly that symptoms mean nothing. So, if there is any way you do not listen to your body over the next 2ww, you are ahead in this game. Also, you just had your transfer so the li'l embies have not even had a chance to do their thing yet... They are working hard so you work alongside them and think that this group effort will lead to positive results. You are certainly a strong person because you have come this far. This process is only for the bravest. I am pulling for you. You are very young and the odds are on your side. Sending you hugs.

I have just posted on the 2ww group to see if there were others going through the 2ww still, I started mine on wednesday, I am also on the march april cycle buddies thread, come over to either of those and you will find lots of support and advice. It really is true what franchesca said and staying positive is the best thing you can do now, its almost like 'OMG now they are in and I have no control over what happens now' its like getting cold feet after the event!! This will feel like a long 2 weeks but they do end trust me!! Hope to see you on one of the other threads, the women are amazing,
Take care
