2ww and feeling down

[NDE1987]

Hi ladies so I am currently in the 2ww and I have another week to go. I am feeling so low today and feel like it's not working. I kept analysing symptoms and reading too much Google! but my lovely husband brought me back down to earth and I wanted to share a couple of pages from a ivf book i have. My husband bookmarked the pages. Just keep being positive to anyone in the 2ww and we nneed to remember we won't be feeling anything yet!!

I've got this book from the library! It's brill xx

It's really good! I think iv just spent today googling my symptons and comparing then to other ladies ones. I guess I still have a week to go and anything can change in a week. Xx

[Hidden in reply to NDE1987]

Me too! I try and stop myself but not doing too well. My test day is Wednesday and I'm so tempted to test tomorrow 😬 Xx

[NDE1987 in reply to Hidden]

Yikes!! Try and hold out until Wednesday. Have you been feeling ok or do you feel different x

[Hidden in reply to NDE1987]

I felt a bit crampy yesterday so was really down in the dumps but that's it. I feel fine today. Dreading testing really don't want to see it be negative xx

[NDE1987 in reply to Hidden]

I hope it works out for all of us. Just need to have a good night's sleep and start thinking positive. At the moment all my hope has gone x

[Hidden in reply to NDE1987]

Me too! Try to keep positive (easier said than done). I've dreaded the weekends so I've felt really down this weekend but back to work to keep my mind off it 😊 Xx

Iv decided that I'm going to just remain positive. I cried so much yesterday but what will be will be just have to remain hopeful xxx

Thank you so much for posting that. I'm halfway through the 2ww and just feel like a ball of anxiety sometimes. I then berate myself because I'm supposed to stay calm! That was just what I needed to read on this grey Monday morning - thanks again and good luck to you xxx

[NDE1987 in reply to Sarahmanc]

Awww not to worry Sarah I know how you feel. I hate that I was comparing my symptons to every other lady on Google lol and then to top it off I watched a YouTube video and just burst into tears. We need to remember that were all different and no way will we be getting symptons this early on. Just need to remain hopeful and positive. I'm glad it helped you. Good luck for your test day xx

[Sarahmanc]

Ha! Yeah the embryologist banned me from Google. He basically said that there is no point in symptom checking and the only definitive answer is on test day so I just have to crack on. Easier said than done but I'm doing my best. Massive good luck to you lovely xxx

[NDE1987 in reply to Sarahmanc]

I'm going by the advice your embryologist gave you lol. I was freaking out that I hadn't had implantation bleeding. When is it your test day? Mines next Monday x

[Sarahmanc in reply to NDE1987]

Same day as you 😊😊

[NDE1987 in reply to Sarahmanc]

Aww were proper cycle buddies lol. Good luck xx
