I'm dreading test day next week. Did anyone else dread their test day? More importantly did anyone dread it but get the result they wanted? Anyone convince themselves they were out only to find that they had actually got a bfp??

Thank you. I'm terrified it hasn't worked. That's normal right? X

I thought the 2ww would be OK but it was really stressful suddenly you're aware everything is on the line. Best advice is try to relax what's going to happen will happen I know that's hard to say xx

Physically this is the easy part, emotionally it's the hardest! X

I am the same Tugsgirl .

My test day is Tuesday and I was ok until today (no symptom spotting at all , no worries), but today feeling a bit down and dreading the test day, just incase it doesn't work. I know we have to be realistic , but the desire to have a healthy kid or 2 πŸ˜€ supercedes everything and us being humans in order to protect ourselves, I think the dread is like a defence mechanism to slightly protect ourselves .

Best of luck and positive thoughts

Big hugs

Yes. We all want the same thing and I think every single one of us deserves it after having to put ourselves through fertility treatments x

Hi Blondyboo . Please try and relax, I know it's not easy , but now the result is out of our hands. All we can do is relax and go with the flow.

I have been keeping myself busy and only when I am on the underground my mind wonders a bit but then I listen to uplifting music or meditation and breathe.

Also avoid Google and symptom spotting as we can get obsessed with it .

When I was talking with my friend who went through IVF and is a reflexologist who now helps people going through fertility treatments for years now, she said everyone is different and symptoms are different so take it easy .

All will be OK, we have to believe

Big hugs for a positive result on Tuesday xxx

I've been OK up to now but today I've started to dread test day. I keep having cramps and keep thinking it's my period coming (I got it last cycle close to test day). Hoping its third time lucky for us & hoping everyone has positives! My test day is next Thursday but I may wait til Friday as I've got an exam that day & not sure if i could concentrate!

I feel the same ... my test day is monday and spent all last week wishing time would speed by but now - I'm dreading it like you. Have had a few days feeling really low and other days been ok. Although trying not get any hopes up too much I do still have hope in my heart... and so very nervous of monday morning.

Best of luck to you for tuesday and everyone else testing next week

The 2ww is so tough! Try to keep yourself as busy as possible. My hubby and I went to the cinema a few times including the night before our OTD. I had to be dragged along but it really helped keep my mind off things!

I was terrified to do the test! To keep positive I kept telling myself there was nothing to suggest the IVF hadn't worked but after years of ttc you can't help but assume it will be negative! I took the pregnancy test at 4.45am on OTD (couldn't sleep any longer) but couldn't bear to look at the result! In the end my hubby and I looked together and it was positive. The first and only positive pregnancy test I have ever had. So, yes, BFPs do happen!

Wishing you the best of luck! x

Wow. Thank you for sharing. I truly love hearing about bfps on here as it fills me with so much hope!

Today I am 7dp5dt. Still dreading Wednesday and doubt I will sleep well Tuesday night. Last night I dreamt I was bleeding, so relieved when I woke up and realised it was a dream! My OH is on bed rest as he's a paraplegic and currently has sores on his skin so bed rest is the best thing to take the pressure off it. It couldn't have happened at a worse time. But at least we are both home together as I normally work. Have been trying to distract myself with tv, reading, doing light housework and getting out with family.

Thank you again x
