How do you keep hope during IVF?
This is my first post on Reddit, and honestly I never thought I’d be writing here about IVF.
I just had a failed fresh transfer, and I feel completely devastated. Everything looked so promising — good embryo quality, good endometrial lining, everything was “perfect” on paper. I really thought maybe this would work for us.
Now I feel emotionally exhausted and heartbroken. This whole process is so draining, and I’m struggling with how to move forward mentally. I feel scared to be hopeful again because I don’t know if I can handle another disappointment. Part of me feels like expecting it not to work is the only way to protect my heart.
For those who have gone or are currently going through IVF — how did you handle hope during this process? Did you stay hopeful, or did you try to guard your emotions? I honestly don’t know how to think anymore.
