2ww is getting harder now...Resisting to test

It's crazy I'm still in the 1st week and already wanting to test. I'm sure it's harder 2nd time round. I'm so desperate to test but know it's ridiculously early and won't do me any good. This has been the longest week ever and I still have a whole week to go. Test day isn't until Saturday 13th

I no how you feel, my test day is Wednesday and I just want to test now.

This time is definitely harder around, I'm questioning every pain and I'm desperate to know it has worked, Monday and Tuesday are going to drag In for me

I really hope the next week flies in for you, it is hard and will be worth it in the end xx

I just want this week to end now! It's awful, I know I will definitely be testing early. I resisted today but I bet by Wednesday I'll be testing. Hoping all the best for you on Wednesday xx

If you test early you'll be likely to get an inaccurate result, and I don't think that will help you. I got my husband to hide all my pregnancy tests so I could not test early. If you had a pregnyl trigger shot you could get a false pregnant result from that until it's out of your system. Think how upsetting that would be. Stay strong and keep busy xx

I'm with you! My test day is Wednesday... that will be a hospital blood test but am considering a home urine test Tuesday or Wednesday to take the pressure off a little and be prepared for the hospital to call mid work on Wednesday...

Not long for you to go now. That's good you having hospital test so you know it's 100% accurate. Wishing you all the best for test day! Xx

Not that I want to encourage testing early but I think it's impossible to resist. My test day was a wed and I tested on the sat before and initially looked and thought it was bfn. I was miserable and so upset and then when I looked at the test later I realised it was bfp and got another stronger one when I tested the next day! Beware the perils of early testing!!

Oh wow, you dared testing very early! I was thinking a day early, not so many days ;-) How many days post transfer was it? And did you have a 5-day transfer? Anyways, I think a huge congratulations is in order! Xx

Thank you! That was last year and now I'm lucky enough to be sitting here with my little boy 😊 It was a 5 day trf and I think it would have to be to test that early. If you think about it that would be day 27 of a normal menstrual cycle so possible to get a result. I never expected it but just couldn't resist! Had told myself if it was negative didn't mean it would be positive by test day, but in reality I was devastated when I thought it was negative. I think everyone just has to manage their own emotions however they can. Xx

Sorry - forgot to say, it was 8 days past trf.

That's great news! Hope you're enjoying your little one! 8 days post 5 day transfer would be today for me. I'll try to resist one or two more days but then I'll give it a go! Xx

Resisting is the best plan! Hoping you get your bfp in the next few days xx

Thank you :-) Not sure if I can resist till the official test Wednesday, but Tuesday or Wednesday morning should be doable ;-) xx

That's so true, it takes immense will power to not test early. I feel as though I want to test early to at least prepare myself for the result either way x

It's so hard. My test day is Friday and it is really starting to annoy me now! I literally have no symptoms now though so I'm not hopeful xxx

Tara2016 in reply toLauraGU

I know exactly what you mean, mine is Saturday and like you I have absolutely no symptoms either but that doesn't mean we are not pregnant does it? X

Nope it certainly doesn't. Between constant knicker watch and looking for every little symptom it's doing my head in!! Xxx

My test day is Friday, but I am the complete opposite. I'm fearing finding out the answer. I have quite a few symptoms, nausea, peeing far too often, tiredness. Wasn't sure if this was because of the medication or a sign, surely you can't get signs this early? Bit of a newbie at this as this is our first round... :-)

From reading loads on here, I would definitely say you can't symptom spot as everyone is completely different and reacts differently to the progesterone. Only thing is, at least you don't have your period! I got my period during my 2ww last time so I didn't have to wait the whole time to know it was bfn.

Update!! Today has changed things as I noticed spotting for the 1st time. I panicked!! This is how my last miscarriage started around the same time and then 8 weeks later I finally miscarried as the drugs were keeping it at bay and my scan confirmed that the embryo stopped developing at 6 weeks.

However the spotting this time is a little earlier perhaps 2 days earlier.

The clinic told me on transfer that I wouldn't experience any bleeding due to drugs I am using progynova and utrogestan. Now im so confused as to why the spotting??

Anyone experience this after FET? Xx
