2WW dragging!

[Nickie17]

I'm on day 3 of our 2WW and it's already really dragging!! Wish there was a way of knowing what was going on especially as I now have mild period pain which is worrying me so soon. I'm back to work tomorrow which I'm hoping will be a distraction (although I doubt it!) wish I could just go to sleep and wake up on our OTD (24th) Sending positive vibes to everyone else on their journey. It's tough at times so nice to know you aren't alone x

Ah I totally feel your pain Nickie. I'm on day 12 and it's been soooo loooonnnggg. I tried to work, and get on with other stuff while also trying to remain calm and rested. But it's hard! Especially on steroids - all I want to do is go to the gym or start cleaning the house to distract my excess energy! Every other hour I was googling symptoms, which again didn't help. And like you, I too have been getting mild period symptoms. People who have been pregnant or are pregnant have told me that's what early stages can feel like. But I've never been wrong before so it's hard to believe them.

All I'll say is aim to keep calm, distracted and positive (!) I've tried to sit in the garden and listen to music when it's been nice weather. Throw your mind back into work. Grab a box set. I've even been cross stitching and making cushion covers as distraction!! Plus I listen to mindfulness and hypno pregnancy stuff at night before sleep. I also felt better when I was eating good food and trying to be healthy. Aside from that, it's all about the wait...

Massive luck to you - you'll get there xx

Ahh thanks for the tips! You must be almost there so fingers crossed for you! I've been off work since EC but back tomorrow so hoping that will help as I've had nothing else to distract me and been climbing the walls trying to just rest and take it easy as I'm not very good at that! I actually haven't been feeling that great so far as on cyclogest so possibly side effects from that! Been drinking loads of water and milk, plus fruit smoothies and veggies so all pretty healthy!

Whats your OTD? x
