Every day my concentration wavers as I keep remembering what I am waiting for. It's difficult because apart from some mild cramps day 1 past transfer I feel nothing but emotional.
Admittedly my 2ww was technically only 10 days as I had a 5 day blasto transfer but even so.... I still have a whole week to go.
The word is limbo.
I know there are many of us going through/have been through this... It's one thing the clinic don't really advise you on!!!!

Sending you loads of love and hugs. I am waiting too! I test a week tomorrow after having 2 blasts transferred on Mon. I have had no symptoms either apart from very mild cramps yesterday. It is limbo because you feel like you cant allow yourself to get excited. I just try to distract myself as much as possible. So glad the weather is nice! Hope you have as good a day as possible xxx
Thank you, your reply means a lot. I only had one transferred and was a bit confused why my test date was 19th but my clinic clearly counted from day of collection/fertilisation
Good luck to you both. I found the 2ww hard last time. It's hard to distract yourself when you really want to know what's happening. After weeks of appointments and tests you suddenly have 2 weeks of being left wondering. It's horrible because every twinge you can't help but think this is it I'm pregnant or am I. A good book at in the sun (vitamin d) or a good box set helps. Fingers crossed for you both.
Four days to go until test day. This is so difficult. I'm fine when I'm occupied and busy but after a long day I'm now laying here feeling low. My breasts are so much bigger that I can't wear my bras comfortably. When I then take it off my breasts hurt like they're bruised. I'm feeling nothing anywhere else and I just feel useless.
I'm trying to stay healthy and keeping busy but my god the thoughts that race through my head when I think 'what if?' ... If we are pregnant if we aren't pregnant... I just need to know so I can deal with whatever the outcome is.
Thursday 19th June is going to be a huge day.
I feel emotionally and physically drained. I am so worried if it is a negative I am going to slip into a depression (I have been there before) and I don't want that to happen again...
You're doing really well. Try to stay positive and distracted! I test fri 20th but I think I'll have had af by Wed or Thurs if it hasn't worked. I just keep saying to myself that if it is negative it is NOT the end for us and doesn't mean that it will never happen xxx
That's true. We have three frozen embryos of good quality. We're both 35 and in good health so you're right: it would not be the end for us either. It's just the amount of effort to be faced with a let down.
Thank you for your reply. I'm off to work soon where I know I'll be kept busy!
jsth1979 - congratulations - ME TOO!!! I cant believe it, I tested this morning, I have to keep checking that I'm not dreaming!! Surreal is the only way to describe it!! I hope this gives everyone else lots of hope - this is my 2nd go (1st FET) so if it can work for us it can work for anyone!! mrsMarsh, how soon do we have to have the heartbeat scan? xxx
Around 7 weeks at my clinic, if your anything like me you will buy a lot more tests!! I kept buying the clear blue when it says how many weeks and I just kept watching it go up all the best and enjoy it!! I'm loving every minute of my little fig growing.. 4 days till big 12 week scan x
Im on day 10 2day after 5day blastocyst and embryo transfer. I'm so nervous special that I told my hubby I'm going to make a test 2day. I had few opinion to wait 2ww . I go another 4 days to go. I lost hope even that my period is late 4days and I got no symptoms. The clinic didn't even say when to come back for blood test . What should I do ? Should I call them and ask ?
