2ww crew!

[ShellyC]

Hi guys. Had a frozen embryo blastocyst transfer today. So am now officially in the 2ww crew! Not looking forward to it, impatience being one of my strong personality traits I think it will be tough!! Anyone else in the 2ww crew at the moment? Would be great to know we are going through it together! xx

Hi Shelley, first of all congratulations! I'm on day 1 and already going mad! These stupid pessaries (which I understand you don't need with a frozen transfer) have side effects, one of which is they give you tummy pain like period pain. Keep us posted 😊 xx

I think it's only a natural FET you don't use pessaries. I'm having a FET (medicated) and I'm using the pessaries.

The side effects from them with the fresh cycle was far worse for me so not sure if that's a combination of having had egg retrieval beforehand. Good luck 🍀 xxx

I'm on the 2ww (my second cycle of IVF). I'm 2dp5dt. It's the hardest part, the wait feels like a lifetime! All you can do is try to stay busy and remain positive! Good luck 🍀 xxx

Thanks guys! Yes, I am on a medicated FET cycle too so have the delight of the pessaries and oestrogen tablets. Haven't been too bad with side effects, but definitely some tummy cramps and headaches. I am feeling very positive this evening (lets see how long that lasts haha!) and am sending you both positive fertile vibes too xx

I've been having the headaches it's like a dull headache that comes and goes? Today I've actually felt OK, was having a breakdown over symptoms yesterday and then today nothing really and that worries me too lol. Just trying to remain positive and remember that symptoms can mean anything 😊 xxx

I think it is so easy to read into symptoms isn't it! I know every month for the last few years I have got excited when I get sore boobs, and then every month AF comes! I have realised it was all part of the normal pattern but it is easy to overanalyse things isn't it. I just try and think that any symptoms that do come might mean something is happening! Stay positive! xx

hope you start to feel better. If you get symptoms you worry and over analyse and do the same if you don't have symptoms! You really can't win! Let's help get each other through this crazy time!xx
