Freaking out during the 2 week wait...

Hi Everyone! I know there are quite a few of us going through the 2 week wait at the moment, is anyone else feeling petrified about taking their test??

I was so positive last week, and feeling quite happy, but now I am freaking out!! I am so scared of the test date, I keep thinking that before I take the test I can feel pregnant even if I'm not, but when you take the test you will know. And as much as I want to know if it says positive, I don't want to know if its a negative!

I have been having some mild cramping but not a lot at all, extremely sore and large boobs, hot flushes constantly, strange dreams and being hormonal, but I know all of this can just be progesterone. Apart from these symptoms I don't feel any different really... and this scares me. How is everyone else doing? My test date is on Friday...

Good luck to everyone!!!! xxx

Hi Hun I've not had ivf(was meant to start beginning if march but due to health issues had to postpone it) I can't really comment on wots normal and wots not on ivf. Your feelings sound very normal in this situation coz we all want it do much it's impossible not to worry. But I want to wish you the very best on Friday and I really hope you get a positive result. And just to say I had no symptoms at all when I was pregnant with my now 16 year old son the first sign was my regular period was 2 weeks late ( he was unplanned but to this day I say he's the best thing I did and he's a wonderful young man) So try not to freak out if you have no signs some do and some don't. Thinking of you take care X

So sorry yours has had to be delayed! I do remember seeing your post about that, must have been so annoying!

Thank you so much for your reply, its just good to know that everyone is different so I guess just don't look into the symptoms and wait and see!!

Thank you :-) Hope you get to start your IVF soon xxx

Hiya, my test date is Thursday. I know how you feel... I do feel excited as my body has been doing odd things same as yours, but yes if I stop and think about it I can feel quite low and scared. its a lot for us to go through if we get a negative.

But I think it's best to stay positive and just think about how happy you will be if it's positive. Best not to worry until we have something to worry about... Otherwise if it is positive we will be in a state for no reason. But yes easier said than done.

I'm desperately trying to keep busy and just keep thinking after today only two full days to get through.

You can do it, all the ladies on here are very strong just to get through this process, we can manage the final herdel !!! 😃😃☺️

All the best for fri xx

Thank you, its just good to know I'm not the only one that finds it hard! Your so right though about the worrying, might as well think positive for now as that can only be a good thing for the embryo's right!!

I am trying to keep busy too! I have work all week so that's good, and have planned to see friends and family in the evenings just to keep busy and chilled!

Good luck for Thursday!! I am keeping my fingers crossed for all the ladies on here!!!!!! :-) xxx

My test day is Wednesday. It's my second 2ww and is different to last time when it was a negative. I've had a few aches and hot moments but otherwise I feel like normal. I've been pregnant naturally twice and I was unaware until missing a period. So probably best not to read too much into signs or lack of.

Good luck for Friday.

Hi EmmaT88, I think it is normal to feel worried. I test a week on Wednesday so I am a little behind you. I am trying to stay really positive and just imagine that the embroys are sticking in there nicely and growing strong!! I had two implanted back so I am hoping that one of them is strong enough to hang in there. I am full of cold though so I just hope and pray that my immune system is strong enough to handle it all!! Good Luck on Friday - sending you baby vibes!! :-) x

Thank you! Ohh good luck!! I am sure your body will be able to handle it, just take it easy :-) I had 2 implanted as well, so I keep trying to imagine them both implanting and that positive test! :-)

Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone :-) xxx

Hi Emma, I also had 2embryos transferred on day2. I'll be testing next Wed too.

It is very hard not to symptom spot. To help me to stay positive I look up pictures on the internet of the embryos dividing and then going through the blastocyst stage and hatching and then implanting and I look at those perfect pics and visualise those events as they are happening inside me. I find it really helps me to stay positive. There are some wonderful pics on the web, so amazing to think that all those changes are happening inside us to form our perfect little bundles of joy !!

Best of luck to us all xxx

Hi all, my test is on Friday as well, so nervous longest two weeks ever. Can't wait to find out so I can move on to next stage of life or take action on trying again. I've had no spotting to show that it has "nestled', I've felt nauseous and hot flushes but unfortunately I'm fighting off a chest cough and sore throat which has come at the worst time so now im getting all emotional thinking I'm deffo gonna get a negative coz my body has been unwell, keep rubbing my stomach saying "I hope your still in there" GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL XX

I am excited and petrified to take that test on Friday!! I have not had any spotting so far either, but yesterday and today I have started having period pains, but they don't last very long. This makes me excited and scared at the same time - its a strange feeling that it could be a brilliant sign or the worst!!

I am sure your body will be able to cope with baby and being ill!! Will keep my fingers crossed for us both!!

I keep doing exactly the same thing rubbing my belly and talking to them, saying i hope that are still in there nice and snuggled!!

Good Luck!! xxx
