TWW- is anyone else obsessing and having up and down moments!

[Gem1982]

Hi everyone, wow I really didn't appreciate how hard the tww would be. I've been having on and off mild cramps for the last couple of days and just feel abit deflated tonight. Need some positivity sending my way. Much love to everyone on their journey! X

[Leesalou]

Wishing you lots of luck, hope the 2ww don't drag too much for you,

I had lots of cramps and days before testing I had major pre period cramps and I was adamant my period was coming but on test day I was shocked to see BFP,

So even though it's easier said than done please try keep positive, xx

[Gem1982 in reply to Leesalou]

Thanks for the reply! It's a real mind game ! Really going to try and be positive! That is amazing you got a bfp! How far gone are you now? X

[Leesalou in reply to Gem1982]

I only got my BFP on the 15th not sunk in at all according to app I'm 5weeks & 2 days.

It is a real mind game, the body plays lots of tricks on you for sure,

Just take it easy and try not to stress

Xx 🍀🍀

Oh wow that is fab, your message has made me feel less anxious! It's funny but when I started the injections I could never imagine getting to the tww stage but here I am! Good luck with your pregnancy! 😃

[Leesalou in reply to Gem1982]

Thanks, same here it just went so quick from start to the 2ww then went slow,

Good luck when's your OTD xx

[Gem1982 in reply to Leesalou]

My OTD is next Sunday! I'm nearly half way through! I know what you mean once I started injections it went quite fast and now sooo slow! Never have I wished a week to pass so quick when I am on annual leave! Lol x x

[Leesalou in reply to Gem1982]

I had the whole 2 weeks off, well i hope it goes a bit quicker for you,

Good luck 🍀🍀xx

Sending lots of positive vibes your way, I had a lot of cramps in the first week of my tww & then backache at times too but it's so hard to gauge what's a 'good sign' or not. I got my bfp though & currently 20 and half weeks pregnant now 😊x

[Gem1982 in reply to Laura3101]

Congratulations to you! Thank you for your message! It really is a mental game, I'm trying my best to see them as good signs! this forum is such a help as hearing your story makes me feel so much better and unless you have been through it no one can really understand. Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy x x

I feel your pain as am also halfway through my 2WW and the days are really dragging! I had the last two weeks off but back to work tomorrow! I have had some mild cramping and backache which seems to come and go but AF would of been due today so am pleased she hasn't shown up!

My OTD is Friday so I'm only a couple of days ahead of you! Hoping this week at work will fly by although will be terrified when it comes to actually doing the test!

Sending positive vibes hang in there! xx

[Gem1982 in reply to Nickie17]

Thanks for your message! I'm feeling more positive this morning and hoping I'm back on that mindset! It seems the symptoms I describe are quite common. My AF is not due until Thursday so fingers crossed! I've become quite attached to my little embie!

I reckon your week will fly by if you are in work , it always does! Wishing you lots of luck for friday , let me know how you get on. Hopefully you have Friday off work? X

[Nickie17 in reply to Gem1982]

Yes defo seems like it normal to have AF symptoms so try not to worry! Unfortunately Im not off Fri as actually away with work Weds-Fri so can't even test early as my OH won't be with me! Will hopefully be a distraction though and least then is a bank hol weekend so have 3 days at home! Hope your week doesn't drag too much, it's good just to rest so make the most of it and good luck for Sunday! I'll be thinking of you xx

[Gem1982 in reply to Nickie17]

I think your work distraction will do you good as you won't be obsessing over symptoms. Fingers crossed for you Saturday morning! Hope it turns out to be the best bank holiday you could have wished for x

[Nickie17 in reply to Gem1982]

That's definitely true lol! Thankyou so much, hopefully will be BFP's all round this weekend!! 🤞🏼xx

Hey. I just want to wish you good luck. My OTD is next Monday! The first week has gone super quick and hoping the next week goes just as quick. I'm getting pretty good at staying calm! I feel the same as I always do in the 2ww so I'm not holding out much hope! Xx

[Gem1982]

Hi, thanks for the message! You are a day behind me! You are doing so well for keeping calm! I have read that everyone is different and some people don't have symptoms! I sending you lots of luck and hope you get the BFP! Will be looking out to see how you get on x x

[Hidden in reply to Gem1982]

Yeah I've read that too so I'm trying to stop symptom spotting now. My first 2ww following IUI was horrible; I got myself into such a state so I vowed not to do that to mysel again!

Thank you! I hope we both get good news xx

[Elou81]

I'm not at that stage just yet but wanted to wish you luck x

[Gem1982]

Thank you! Wishing you look on your journey too! X

I am the same, now i am very happy and positive, next minute i am terrified thinking about test day. I don't know what to believe, and don't know what to say, i never thought it will be so hard. How easy must be for normal pregnancy, not having to deal with 2ww stress. I only had some cramps, no bleeding implantation so I don't know . Hopefully will get the BFP! Xx

[Gem1982]

I know I can't even think about the OTD! I've had no implantation bleeding either but again some people don't! When is your OTD? X sending positive vibes!

[Hidden in reply to Gem1982]

My OTD is friday 25th , but i will test on Thursday morning as i want my husband to be at home too, and i will test again on Friday. I hope so much i will get a BFP..... 🙏🏼for all of us in 2ww and to get BFP well deserved xx
