Nervous starting IVF #2

[Hanawanabump]

I did my first round of ivf sept last year, it was unsuccessful. I originally booked my consultation for dec but had to cancel because of work commitments. Having a couple of months made me realise how it's done me good to be out of the ivf bubble for a bit. Now I'm starting to think about cycle #2 I'm a little bit anxious, I don't know if it's because it's my last go, or fear of it failing. I've put on a ton of weight that I have to loose before my 2nd cycle goes ahead, which I'm struggling with, can't seem to get my head into gear!

Has anyone else felt like this? Xx

Heya Hana

I'm going to be doing another cycle soon as my last failed in Jan this year. Technically this will either be my 3rd fresh ivf or 2nd transfer if we do fet instead.

I was devastated after my cycle failed and put on a lot of weight again, stopped taking my thyroid meds too. I've started with my meds again but getting my head around the weight thing is difficult, I know I need to loose some but can't be bothered as I feel it won't make any difference to my ivf anyway.

I know how u feel hun what do u think u will do to help get the weight off? I'm thinking of doing step aerobics every evening in my front room maybe, gotta dig some enthusiasm from somewhere first though Lolol xxx

After I wrote this I got on the phone and booked a provisional appointment for end of May, I'll probably move it back a bit but at least I now have something to aim for!! I know weight watchers and Zumba works for me, it's just needing that drive to get up and do it!!! Sorry you've got to go through it again, such a roller coaster!! Xxxx

My first cycle failed in June 2013. We got 2 embryos from that cycle to freeze, but we decided to go back and do another stim cycle in September. I was more petrified doing our second round than I was doing our first. We got 4 frozen and I fell pregnant, but miscarried at 5 weeks that cycle. Even though that was heartbreaking, at least I knew my body could fall pregnant. After our frozen transfer in December we are now 18 weeks pregnant. Don't give up. It is a scary and daunting experience, but well worth it! All the best
