I'm not yet at the 2ww. Mines will either be tomorrow or Saturday. I will find out tomorrow.

Just wanted to reassure you that what your feeling is totally normal. I've read a few posts before of girls feeling exactly the same and they've been told don't worry once the embryo is in its not going to fall out. So try not to worry about that.

I've no tips on how to survive until test day. I'm sure some other ladies will. I know that's going to be so hard but my plan is to just keep myself busy. I plan on having daily walks and meeting with friends for lunch, going to cinema. Just little things.

Sending you lots of luck xxx

Hey Vic77 thank you so much for your reply especially with all you are going through right now, love the advice! Especially do stuff I haven't had time to do sorting out photos is deft on my list as well also nice to look through and reflect on all the fun things in our lives already! I love rubbish easy watching TV like that I've watched a few series of married at first sight already I found it strangely addictive hehe X

I know I am ashamed to admit it but I loved married at first sight..watched all us series then went onto Australian one. Here another thing we did that I mentioned on here was my husband write fun surprise activities and things we could do to laugh on blue bits of paper and I did same on pink.we put them all in a big bowl and I picked a blue one one day then he picked pink. It really helped us have something to focus on each day. We also at the same time crossed a day off on a chart.silly ideas but really helped. I love to help people so what better way to make me feel better😀😀😀😀good luck with 2ww everything crossed for you xxxxx

You seem like a lovely person :) I love helping people too that's what made me become a nurse! That's such a sweet idea you guys did, I'll have to put it to my DH might be quite nice to carry on as well regardless to treat each other :) such a difficult thing to go through this IVF business! I have to say I also have watched all those series and even googled the couples that stayed together to see if they were still together if you know what I mean coz I'm mega nosey hehe thanks for the luck it means a lot x

Hehe ok glad I'm not the only nosey googler! I think I would carry on with the cards it's such a cute idea :) I agree about the job it is hard when you have to constantly put a smile on your face when sometimes you don't feel like it but it's also great for putting things in perspective when you see others struggling makes me stop feeling sorry for myself sometimes x

pMauz congratulations on the transfer.

All you can do now is relax. I have just been through my 2ww and kept myself busy at work and at night times go for walks with my partner or watch a comedy .

Anytime I started to worry would give myself a few seconds to acknowledge the feeling but then get back to my task or listen to music .

Please don't symptom spot or go near Google at all

If in doubt call the doctor.

Just take care of yourself and do your best to keep yourself upbeat and "normal"

Best of luck with the journey

Hugs xx
