We transferred one top quality little 5-day blast on Sunday. And all afternoon and Monday day I walked around with a warm glow, thinking this is the closest I've ever been to being pregnant, and this little one is bound to stick. There was a slight mishap involving me missing a step when I got home and landing on my bottom, but I sensibly knew that wasn't going to dislodge this little embryo. "Ha" I thought yesterday, this 2WW business isn't so bad. I'm at work, getting things done and feeling good. 2WW crazies? That is never going to happen to me...
Then a few hours later the doubt and worry set in. "What are those twinges? Are they AF coming on?". "What if that not-very-hard fall means it won't stick?". "Yikes it is hot. Am I too hot? Does this mean it won't stick?". "Did the embryo just hear me say that it would be so inconvenient professionally to have a baby in March because of that work opportunity I would have to then turn down? I didn't mean it embryo - please stick". "Should I have just eaten that old cold quorn sausage in the fridge (when did I even cook that??)? Please don't let that stop it from sticking..."
Yep - 2WW crazies are here!

I am here on my 2ww too, I have been here for a few days only but it feels like Eternity, I am not even joking, I am worried but I try to not over exaggerate anything and to just wait till I receive the results, it is almost impossible to not think about the outcome, I am freaking out about the possible negative results and I think that it is definitely not going to help if I keep thinking about it.
I was trying to take the first test but then I remembered that my manager was against this and said that I should wait for the 14 day after ET. and only when I reach the stage I can go for tests
I know - it really does feel like eternity! I really want this so badly. And on top of that, if this round doesn't work then we are lucky enough to have one more on the NHS. But we were warned our follow up appointment won't be for 2 - 3 months (!!) and at that appointment they will put us on the waiting list for round 2 and that waiting list is at least 5 more months! So I am really pinning my hopes on his round working as I just don't know that I can stomach waiting all that time to go again!
2-3 month?? Well, guess what I am not even surprised. this is too sad really. This should definitely your cycle! I am sending all of my prayers to you! Fingers crossed!
I am coming from the position of a woman who has signed with an actual fertility clinic and paid money for ivf egg donation there, so I know that they will put me in a first line because I pay them money, but it still won't be a steal proof that I am going to start over right away if I get negative result. I'll still have to wait but it is not as long as you'll have. But the thing is that I am not that sure that my man wants to continue, he said that he would like to take a pause for some time after this attempt.
Also at the beginning of 2ww (transfer was Sunday) and also slowly going mad! Trying to allow myself only one google search each day and not over thinking every ache and twinge!! Good luck & you are not alone in this torturous wait! Xx
We had our transfers on the same day! I have had my fingers poised over the keyboard so many times today, wanting to turn to Dr Google, even though I know he/she can't possibly answer the question I really want an answer to: has it worked? Good luck to you too xx
Really tired but otherwise fine. Could be the heat as much as anything...it has been relentless. First scan is next Wednesday and I am already very nervous 😓
Try and distract yourself as much as possible with friends, silly tv, walks, more silly tv, hobbies and getting out and about. It feels like forever but it is finite and will be over soon xxx
Thanks. Ah, the stress never ends does it? But I have a good feeling about the scan all going really well! I hope you can also distract yourself before Wednesday. X
Haha that quorn sausage one made me laugh. I'm dreading my two week wait, I'm already a crazy anxious, worrier/control freak 😂 We haven't even started yet ! Anyway, try and stay calm and remember all the people that get pregnant by chance and what they must put their embryos through without even knowing it. I.e. I was conceived over xmas when my mum was 18 she said all she did was drink over the holidays and eat crap, and I still got comfy in there ! I often wonder if that's why I enjoy a bit of a tipple though ! 🙄 I hope you find things to pass the time. Sending best wishes and buckets of baby dust x sorry about the essay - rambles a bit there haha.
Thanks! I am also a terrible control freak and worrier. So this whole process has been my worst nightmare (and if it works I'm going to be a nightmare of a worrying parent!). Control has been totally taken out of my hands for the first time and I have found that much harder than dealing with the injection and side effects from the drugs!
Ha, so true about generations before us. Good luck to you when you do start (am assuming you are starting IVF?). Do you have a start date? X
Aw bless you , I can imagine , we can deal with aches & pains , sickness etc but you can't shut up the voices in your head unfortunately! 🙉
No we don't have a definite date yet , we've been for our first consultation in Leeds today, but they want a few more blood tests etc before we can start so I'm hoping for august ! Xx
I am also on 2 ww and started going crazy the minute we had walked out of our FET. So you're definitely not alone on this one!!!
It's the hardest time of all because naturally we all over analyse everything.
Even to the point that I was farting more the other day and I had to google that as a possible sign of pregnancy. Was so close to testing today because I threw up at work. Rationally I know it's prob just stress, lack of sleep and the heat but still the non rational 2ww me doesn't know what to think.
We had our transfer a week ago today and can test Saturday. Not sure my poor brain can take much more over thinking between now and then 😬😬xx
Have to laugh!! Sorry!! For me the first week was a breeze, just got on with my life. The second week, however, was a nightmare!! I second guessed everything, I googled EVERYTHING!! It was horrible. Hope you can get through the last few days!! X
Argh, if it gets worse then there is no hope for me over the next few days!!! I need to put some sort of net nanny on my computer to keep me off google!! X
I hear you!! Im starting to get nervous and only just getting into it like yourself!🤤 I'll be going bonkers in a few days time but thankfully will be back at work tomorrow!!xx
I'm at work, which unfortunately is really busy and I still can't concentrate and focus on it - a horrible combination. Next time I am going to book a holiday somewhere nice during the 2WW, as I'm already going totally bonkers! X
I'm off and it's driving me crazy!😂 I've got a little bit of cramping and dull back ache today which is freaking me out a little and ita still early days! Arrrggghhhh!!x
I also have a cramp and back ache. But then that could just be the progesterone. I have to keep reminding myself I can't read into things either way. But it is so so hard. I have already spent a chunk of today (when I should have been working) just staring at the success stats for my clinic (like I don't already know them off by heart...!).
