I'm about to have FET, how do you stay positive?

I'm 44 and single and desperate to be a mum. I'd hoped I'd meet someone and it would just happen, but it hasn't. At 35 I had 11 goes of artificial insemination with donor sperm and didn't get pregnant. I was very depressed and decided to step away from treatment and hope I'd meet someone and get pregnant naturally. At 44 I went back to the clinic and asked about IVF, I was told that the sucess rate would be 4% and I should look at donor eggs and donor sperm. I went away and did some research and thought if I need donor eggs aswell I might as well look at embryo donation. I found a clinic in Barcelona that is far cheaper and quicker than the UK, where you have to wait a year to get embryos. I'm going back to barcelona on the 24th May for my implant, depending on if the embryos survive. I've been told that mental health is just as important as physical health, but how do you get your mind round thinking positively? I can't help but feel it won't work for me and I'll be devastated again. Any advise....please!

Hi, any news your end? When do you go to TX?

I was implanted with one healthy embryo on the 24th (only one survived the thaw) and now I've got an agonising wait until the 7th when I have to have a pregnancy test by blood.

Let me know how you're doing.

I am doing donor embryos too!!  I am married, but after a long, heartbreaking process, we have been blessed to have donor embryo's offered to us!!!  (by someone on here).  We have our embies waiting, and we are so excited!  My hubby and I will be flying to TX in Late May, early June for transfer!! : )

I am so proud of you for going after what you want in life!  I think it is simply amazing!!!
Do you know what day your embies were frozen on?  I am sure they will survive!! Don't you worry!  How many embies do you have??  You are soooo gonna get preggers!!
