I googled.

[emu2016]

Alright alright. I’ve done my first google.

“What is happening 5dt 3dt”

All I got was a load of women in forums (not as good as this one, obvs) talking about “bloated tummy’s” “where have my stabbing pains gone” “I have stabbing pains” “how do I know if it’s working” and my all time favourite “I’m peeing more - this could be it.”

Oh blinkin’ Nora. This time last week I thought I didn’t want you little embryos! And now look! Now I want to know where you are! Chuffing hell. I’ve not eaten anything to aid implantation. I’ve barely thought about you. Ive just carried on as normal.

Now? Now I’m actually on the brink of googling... “what happens if I forgot I had embryos inside me” 😂😂😂. I’m going back to normal life. Just pretending you’re not there. It’s easier!

Ffs. 2ww. You win. 7 days to go. X

This was so me 😂😂 hang in there your doing great i was exactly the same then felt guilty as hell when i got my BFP because I hadnt done anything to help ... that week has flew i hope the next 7 days does the same for you and your hubby .... lots of luck 💖🤞🏻 Xxx

[emu2016 in reply to Rachael_]

I was a lot worse on my last round! Thanks! x

I think getting on with life as normally as possible is the best thing you can do. You’ll drive yourself mad if your not careful. There’s so many old wives tales, eat this, do this, but really and truly it’s out of your hands.

I find it quite comforting knowing what’s happening and what it will look like. I even named it, and talk to it!!!!! OH thinks I’m mad. But we got a bfp. He nows refers to it by its name!!

Wishing you lots of luck. Just do what works for you to get through it. All this waiting is so hard. You’ll get through it.xxxx

[emu2016 in reply to Asweetpea]

Yeah. I’d be quite impressed really; if it weren’t for my wobble last week making me a little unconnected. Not long now x

[Asweetpea in reply to emu2016]

Finger crossed it flys by for u and u get the positive results u want.xxxxx

[Cinderella5]

Ha ha ha given into the temptation of google then?! You've done great to get to day 5 before stepping into the dark side.....Im never off google! Ha ha ha The crazy 2ww is hell but you're getting there!xx

[emu2016 in reply to Cinderella5]

I think I may have genuinely forgotten! 😂 x

[Mifkipi]

Hahahahahha. Not long to go now! I googled even before I started treatment so you have done v well to only give in so late on in the process sending lots of love and hugs to you x

[emu2016 in reply to Mifkipi]

I was a nightmare last round! x

[Hidden]

Haha i remember googling what a day 6 then a day 7 embryo looked like, then the next day what it might look like at day 8 etc etc! bloody Beavis and Butt Head didnt even implant! (yes i sadly named them too at embryo transfer!) I became obsessed on Google. Carrying on as normal and trying to forget (i know its hard) is probably the better option! Good luck in you 2 ww xx

[emu2016 in reply to Hidden]

I was obsessive last round but I noticed more twinges last time too. Weird x

[AllWeNeedIsluv]

😂So hard isn't it, you've done well so far just the minor bit of googling. Gosh 7 more days think of something to do in each of them days that doesn't involve googling. Lots of things to do in this lovely weather. Good luck 1ww to go. Eeeeek. Lots of love 💝😘💝

[emu2016 in reply to AllWeNeedIsluv]

I’m really enjoying shopping nearly every day! 😂 x

[AllWeNeedIsluv in reply to emu2016]

😂 love it 💝😘💝

[WeeMrsH]

Our 2ww are going pretty quickly I think! However in my last 2 days now and it’s dragging... I’m losing the plot 🤪 🙈

[emu2016 in reply to WeeMrsH]

I’ll get you through the next 48 hours. Don’t you worry xx

[WeeMrsH in reply to emu2016]

Crying!! 2nd time today (the other was during Loose Women on my lunch break) 🤦🏽‍♀️

[emu2016 in reply to WeeMrsH]

Bloody hell woman. I’m rethinking our call later! 😂 xx

[WeeMrsH in reply to emu2016]

😂😂 don’t worry Loose Women was only the catalyst. I needed an excuse for a good cry hehe xx

[Gillyc1]

My daughter carried on as usual. It was me wanting to wrap her in bubble wrap. Good luck to you sweetheart xx

[emu2016 in reply to Gillyc1]

Thanks Gilly. Nearly your holiday? x

[Gillyc1 in reply to emu2016]

Yes, leaving at 4.45 in the morning. My daughter has just been crying leaving him but he is gonna have a ball with us xx

[emu2016 in reply to Gillyc1]

Have a lovely time xx

[Gillyc1 in reply to emu2016]

Sat on the plane now . Take care you xxxx

[Smang]

I think that’s the best way, carry on with your normal routine. Wishing you lots of luck xx

[emu2016 in reply to Smang]

Thanks Smang x

[Amanda86]

Getting to day 5 before you start googling - that’s amazing! Well done!

Hoping the rest of your wait doesn’t drag too much, good luck! 🍀🤞 xxx

[emu2016 in reply to Amanda86]

What’s the famous line...”Keep Calm & Carry On” or maybe “keep calm and keep googling” I dunno!!

Whatever works for you. Just like you I’m going in a bit more disconnected this time around, I intend not to become crazy and only to have 5 mins max of googling time...yeh right!!

I read all the lists of symptoms after my last transfer, drove myself crazy and when I actually stepped back and ignored everything I noticed I had my my own peculiar little symptoms. From the day or two after transfer I felt different as all my Endo symptoms (which I forget are so evident but I take as normal now) immediately settled and that’s how I knew something may have worked as I’d never felt that before, ever, in 7 years of trying to get up duff. Everyone is sooo different and everyone notices different things so I think it’s best to do exactly what you’re doing and be normal as best you can, I think that’s the trick.

It is a crazy time, Mr Google can help and hinder but ultimately it’s not going to make these days go any quicker or change the result, if anything it just drives you more into confusion! So back away from the phone/computer and just shop more!!

I reckon it’s defo the way to go!! Obv I’ll be hitting google in my 2ww next week and completely ignoring what I’ve just said but I shall attempt to act normal...well as normal as I can be🤪🤣 thinking of you xx
