2WW - 5 days post IUI

[Lorry1984]

Hi ladies,

So this is my first 2ww. Im only on day 5 and Im already going out of my mind! Ive no symptoms other than tiredness (but Im quite a tired person anyway) and so I find Im already being really negative about the whole thing. Is it possible to have no symptims and still get a bfp? xx

Hi I'm on day 6 and have no symptoms at all. Try to remain positive no symptoms does not mean that it hasn't worked. I think we all drive ourselves crazy symptoms or no symptoms. Try to keep your mind busy on something else distractions are a great help. A good book, walk, a project, films etc. Good luck with the rest of your wait and hoping for bfp on your testing day. Xxx

Thanks for your reply. Yeh we def all drive ourselves crazy. This is my first IUI 2ww so if I need further cycles it'll hopefully get easier. When are you due to test? Good luck to you too xx

Thanks. My test day is 11th AF is due on 9th so I'm hoping it doesn't come. When is your test day? I'm back to work tomorrow so hopefully it will be a distraction. Xx

Hi, I can totally relate, in fact I posted almost exact same thing yesterday!! Try not to overanalyse, & since my down day y'day I'm trying to stay away from google now!! Wishing you the best of luck for a positive test day!! 🍀xx

Thanks for your reply. Im normally quite a patient person but this is on a different level. I just want to fast forward. I am staying away from google too. When do u test? Good luck to you too xx

I'm the same, but never appreciated how tough the 2ww would be....was so focused on getn thru each hurdle to get to ET!! I'm currently 6dp5dt, my test date isn't until 14th!! 😳 Praying I don't see AF before then tho!! 🙏 What about u?! xx

[Lorry1984 in reply to Leo2017]

Me too. Totally underestimated how it is takin over my brain! What does 6dptdt mean. I get lost with all the abbreviations. Im 5 days post IUI and AF is due on the 13th but the clinic wont test me until the 18th. Assuming AF doesnt arrive I'll probably not be able to hold off until the 18th. xx

Sorry - I was IVF so it just means 6 days past 5 day embryo transfer!!

It totally does, it just consumes you, even when you try to distract yourself!!

Best of luck & I'll be looking out for hopefully good news from you!! 🤞🏻xx

Hope you get good news too xx

I had loads of 'symptoms' in week 1 - which were just side effects. Once they wore off I felt nothing so was convinced mine hadn't worked! Thinking of you xxx

[Lorry1984 in reply to robbie03]

Thanks Robbie. 🤞 As u know, it's a long 2 weeks! Hope u r doing well. xx

It differs from person to person, but in most cases real symptoms of pregnancy start after 1,5 - 2 weeks after conception. So please try to stay calm and positive, as stress and anxiety can have a bad influence on you and your baby!
