David is right, after all this you will have an answer one way or another. Hang in there, my friend, and keep on truckin' one day at a time.

Just keep in mind, like I do with pregnancy and M does with his treatment, that this too shall pass. The FET part only lasts a while - there is an end point. I know it sucks while you are in it, but you need this try. And we are here for you.

I have absolutely no research to back this up, but my anecdotal evidence within this community is totally solid.<br /><br />I'm sorry you've hit the low in the rollercoaster. All your feelings are so totally valid, and being tired, angry, sad - all of it - makes perfect sense.

However I hope that through this FET (and before and after) you can feel the troops rallying around you. We are here to support you and hold you up when you feel like you are falling. So lean my dear, lean on us and your husband. I promise you that we will never drop you.

This process is hard enough already, and it seems cruel that the real emotions have to be topped by additional physical/emotional side effects. But you're doing the right thing, and you will have more information shortly.
