Day 3 of 2ww

[jamjar5060]

Today my stomach feels 'empty'. Has anyone else felt like this? I'm stressing myself out so it could be just that but would love to hear from others experiences please

HI Jamjar, I am 5dp4dt and can't say I have felt that, but I have been eating like a horse (not much else to do when sitting around relaxing)!! I think you may be over-analysing. I know it's easier said than done, but do try to relax, stress is not good during this time. I have been out for some nice lunches, for a pedicure, had an acupuncture session and I'm off the the hairdressers tomorrow. Failing that, those adult colouring books that are all the rage at the moment are absolutely brilliant for de-stressing.

Good luck, wishing you a positive result! Xxx

Thanks MonkAK. I don't think being at work is helping. I thought it would help to keep my mind off things but I was wrong. Got those colouring books at home so will look that out and try.

Good luck to you too and send baby dust your way xxx

Thanks Jamjar, straight back atchya! I would definitely consider taking some time off if I were you. Luckily I am a teacher and have half term this week, but I may take a couple of days next week too depending on how stressed work makes me feel when I go back. Xx

Hey! I think I know what you mean! I always felt very bloated after EC and then after ET I will have days where I feel 'thinner' and definitely like there is nothing in there and certainly like things aren't doing what they are meant to be doing. But your body has been through a lot so there are definitely days where it feels better than others. I wouldn't read too much into it though! Just keep thinking that a 'naturally' pregnant lady would have no inclination at all at this stage. Good luck though.

thanks lmd123, at least I now know it's not just me and this is normal.

I must admit feeling better about it today. Back feeling bloated and felt sick a little this morning so well and truly getting the side effects of the meds.

Hi Jamjar... Day 3 is when I freaked out. Convinced myself it hadn't worked and nothing was there but at the same time telling myself they're too teeny weeny to detect at this stage. That was my meltdown day. Read a bajillion online articles with different information and got upset. The rest of the week has been much more positive though the days are moving along more quickly and I'm a little more content. I'm still googling but only a million times a day which is much better!! Haha Try to stay calm and positive (it's impossible but really try) and just know that this time passes and we will have our answers soon x x x

thanks and fingers crossed for us both xxx

Well, I'm passed 10th week and still wonder if it's true sometimes. You can't expect to feel anything at this point, and symptoms vary a lot anyway, so just try to relax and enjoy yourself. You're pregnant until proved otherwise. All the best!
