How did you stay positive?

Question

I start stims for our first IVF cycle in 5 days and was just wondering how everyone kept a positive mental attitude throughout the process? We need IVF because I lost both my fallopian tubes in surgery after two ectopics, we've also had two miscarriages. Obviously I know the science part of the process is extremely important but I think if I'm not positive it will fail and in the last few days I've been worrying that my body will let us down again. Our results have been very good, my AMH is 30.4 and his sperm count/motility is very high so I'm trying to focus on that.

Answer

I listened to a meditation app called "mindful IVF". It really helped with anxiety. Good luck..this is not an easy process but tell yourself you are not alone ☺

Answer

I find that talk to my friends, my husband and coming on here to talk to all of you makes me feel a lot better about the process. The science behind it is also fascinating. I think that it’s important to remain as positive as possible. I’ve also been trying to do things to take my mind off of it too, focusing on decluttering my house, eating healthy, etc. Wishing you lots of luck!

Answer

I found fertility acupuncture to be very helpful in keeping me calm and grounded.  I didn't try it until my 3rd IVF cycle and wish I had started earlier.  The other thing that helped me was researching treatment protocols and supplements.  While the doctors at my clinic were great, I didn't feel like I had any control over the outcome and for me that was tough.  Being able to ask more educated questions increased my confidence and feeling that we were doing everything possible to ensure a positive outcome.   Good luck!

Answer

I love the meds. It made me feel like I was finally doing something. I was growing my future children. That’s how I stayed sane through it all. My tubes are blocked and if the first FET doesn’t work they may remove my tubes. But none the less I am excited to try !!!

Answer

Just keeping remembering that you don't have control over what you body is doing and trust your doctor
