Going barmy in 2ww

[SianieShorts]

This has to be the hardest part of the journey so far for me. First cycle. I am 6dp5dt and feel like I’m losing my mind. I have lost all positivity and am constantly symptom checking.

I had spotting on Saturday which I felt happy about...thinking possibly implantation...yet the same type of spotting on the Sunday sent me loopy, convinced I’m about to have my period. How can the same symptom make you feel 2 completely opposite things?!

I have had a lot of cramping and did have really sore boobs but that has subsided, making me think it’s all over.

Not due to test till Sunday but I needed to vent. I’m trying to keep busy in the day but seem inconsolable in the evenings. My poor husband 😫

Wishing you all lots of luck and patience in the 2ww and to those who have done this several times, my admiration goes out to you special people.

This is hard! X

I found the weekends so hard and on my first cycle I was forever googling. I had no spotting on either cycles which I thought was a bad thing but about a week after transfer both times I had terrible AF pains and ended up testing early coz I was adamant it would be a negative.

Second cycle I didn’t google at all and the only thing that was different was that my nipples went massive after five days lol (boobs didn’t hurt at all this cycle either).

Good luck for Sunday I hope it speeds up a little xx

My wife listened to bree taylor molyneux ( journey to ivf) Really helped with the 2ww. We now have a beautiful 5 week baby girl. Just take things easy. Hard as it seems, just stay relaxed Sianie

I’m now 7dp5dt and equally loopy!

No spotting here but similarly to you I did have sore boobs which have subsided now. OTD is Saturday and it really can’t come soon enough!

I’m 7dp5dt as well, I’ve had afew twinges , the worse for me is the trips to the loo and constantly thinking I will see AF has arrived! What is the earliest anyone has seen a positive?

[SianieShorts in reply to WaywardGirl]

Horrible isn’t it! Good luck and thanks for replying, it really does help to know others are going through it too xx

I was exactly the same my first round! Positivity went out the window from ET! Constantly looking for symptoms. I’m hoping to chill out a lot more next time! Try using some kind of meditation app or breathing exercises, these are what I am going to try next time!

Good luck!

Thank you and good luck to you too...I am going to try Bree Taylor Molyneaux as suggested by sanj76 👆 x

I am with you on this!! This wait is killing me but refusing to test early! Have some symptoms but nothing major. Belly is hurting and few pains and feel generally crappy from the pessaries! Good look for Sunday, will be thinking of you! I’m next Wednesday! X

[SianieShorts in reply to MrsR1988]

Good luck to you too. Thank goodness we all have each other to relate to. It definitely helps x

I’ve done three tww’s, it never gets any easier lol. Good luck to you 🍀 xx

I really hope you get your BFP soon. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot. My heart goes out to you. Keep the faith 💖

I thought I was losing my mind on 2ww. It's like a form of torture. I felt like I was going to get AF everyday and had cramping everyday until maybe 6.5 weeks. I got my BFP at 6DP5DT so my fingers are crossed for you that you're the same as me and you get your BFP very soon. X

[SianieShorts in reply to MrsTM13]

This is music to my ears! Thank you for replying and many many congratulations to you on your BFP. Hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy xx

The 2ww isn't easy but your half way through... almost there!

Try to keep as busy as you can, distraction with films/box sets, meeting up with friends for lunch etc.

Good luck 🍀🤞
