More waiting

Anyone else feel really deflated with how long this whole process takes? I am very grateful that I have 5 embryos in the freezer, but I just had my follow up consult to be told I likely won’t have my frozen transfer until January. I know I am lucky, but I can’t help feel really sad and deflated that this entire year has been tests waiting, more tests… more waiting! Has anyone felt the same way? I just want my own little family ❤️

The iconic and hardest thing with fertility and ivf is the amount of time you spend waiting! Nothing seems to ever happen quickly does it 🥺 Amazing news that you have 5 embryos waiting for you ❤️

Yes at times like when I had a miscarriage with my first FET and just wanted to do the second straight away but was made to wait for another cycle. Unfortunately with Fertility and particularly IVF it is one wait after another. What has been getting me through is the little milestones or focusing on something. Eg between now and your FET I would try to find something to take your mind off the time. It definitely goes faster when you fill the time. Once you start your FET that process will feel quick, then you will have the dreaded two week wait which I would highly advise you to fill it with lots of mind consuming things (like a city break or catch-ups with friends etc). 5 embys is great, hopefully once you start you will be at your goal real quick ❤️✨

That's great you have 5 embryos in the freezer! This waiting thing is exactly me right now! My FET cycle got cancelled this round after going in for the first scan, so I've to wait another cycle. Provided all looks fine and my period comes on time, otherwise they say end-November is the cut off before they resume next year...
