2 WW buddies

[Gem5]

Anyone else on their 2ww, I am 1 day post transfer and already going out of my mind. I have taken the 2w off work so I stress less but I have felt anxious all day and have not thought of anything else.

[Hidden]

Me 👈 I am 3dp5dt and I have TOTALLY lost it. How shall we cope?

[Gem5 in reply to Hidden]

I worked through my first round but I stressed myself out so much I couldn’t cope, so I thought I’d take leave but kind of bored and restless 😬

[Gem5 in reply to Hidden]

When is your test date? I’m 1sept

[Hidden in reply to Gem5]

I am so restless. Despite post-it notes in each room saying, 'no IVF googling' I am embarrassed to look through my search history. hahah. My beta test is August 28 but I am a POAS addict so I am probably going to be ripping open a FRER before then!

[Gem5 in reply to Hidden]

Haha 😂 have you resisted testing yet?

[Dunla]

Box sets on Netflix etc are a great way to distract yourself for a few hours. Maybe arrange some nice things to do to get yourself out and about to help the time pass as quickly as possible. Try to avoid googling symptoms too much as it’ll drive you round the bend! Wishing you the very best of luck xx

[Gem5 in reply to Dunla]

Good ideas I will try to implement some 😉

[Jem04]

Hi I am 2dp5dt, I’m off work too and glad I’m not there but also going bonkers! 😬 Having some aches and had a tiny bit of pinky discharge (tmi) don’t know what to think! Just trying to be positive! Hospital have said I can test at home this time and I’m googling how soon I can test! When are you both testing? Best of luck to everyone. Xx

[Gem5 in reply to Jem04]

I’m testing 1 sept but to be honest on my first round my af arrived before test date.

When is your test date and what do you have planned to keep you occupied? Have slight cramping after the transfer but I hate the cramps as it just makes me think af is on the way 😌

[Jem04 in reply to Gem5]

Same for me, 1st ivf cycle I started my period before my blood test date, but they still insisted I went for a blood test which was hard. I’ve been told to test on the 31st

I have some uni work to do so going to get on with that and I’m watching box sets! Anything to distract myself! Good luck xx

[Gem5 in reply to Jem04]

Hope your distraction techniques are working and that your feeling good and well!

[Hidden]

Take it off ur mind even if is difficult, jist try.

[Gem5 in reply to Hidden]

So hard to do though x

[E_05]

I’m in the tww - 3dp5dt. I’m always open for a chat if you need one. This is the first tww I’ve taken some time off and it actually feels quite strange xx

[Gem5 in reply to E_05]

How are you feeling? Are you managing to keep yourself busy?

[E_05 in reply to Gem5]

I’ve done a few nice things since Monday but yesterday came down with the worst migraine and have felt pretty rubbish since so just been resting. How about you? X

[Gem5 in reply to E_05]

How are you feeling now? Migraine eased? I’m stressing out! Convinced I have serious pmt, constant aches and pains, snappy ect... but surely it’s too early 3dp for af!

[E_05 in reply to Gem5]

Yeah thankfully my migraines gone,it was awful! I’m getting quite stressed to tbh, I’m convinced it hasn’t worked. Aches and pains can be a sign of implantation to so that might be a good thing!

[Gem5 in reply to E_05]

I get regular migraines so fully understand they can be horrendous, I’m convinced it hasn’t worked too, I mean what are the odds of it working anyway? I’m such a pessimist 😝

[E_05 in reply to Gem5]

Oh don’t I’m right with you there 🙈 come on we’ve got to keep positive or at least try to 😬

[Hidden]

Hi. I had my transfer too yesterday.

I’m just trying not to think about it but it’s so hard to do!!

Hope we all get positives !

[Gem5 in reply to Hidden]

Good luck! How are you managing? Are you working or off?

[Hidden in reply to Gem5]

No, I had the afternoon off after transfer , today is my day off anyway and then back to work Friday. I’m better working otherwise I will just keep thinking about it.

[Hancam30]

Hi ladies. It is my transfer day today! This our 2nd FET. The 2ww is the hardest part of the process. Feels like an eternity!! 🙈 good luck to all you wonderful strong women! 💪🏼💕

[Gem5 in reply to Hancam30]

Good luck for today’s transfer! I’m only 2dpt and it’s so hard to get my mind off it no matter how I try

[Magdalenach]

Hi Ladies. My transfer was on Sunday and testing day on the 29th so next week at this time I will know 😊

Its impossible to stop thinking about it but work keeps me little bit busy. Can't wait though 😀

Good luck to all of us🤞😊👶🤰

[Gem5 in reply to Magdalenach]

Good luck I can’t wait to find out all our results! It would be amazing to get a couple of bfp at least!

[Hidden]

Do you girls count the day of the transfer in your DPT? I had mine last Thursday 16th ARGHHHHHH

[Gem5 in reply to Hidden]

I dnt, I had my transfer Tuesday so I am 2pt

[Hidden in reply to Gem5]

So i must be 7pt xx

[Gem5 in reply to Hidden]

Wow how are you doing?

[Hidden in reply to Gem5]

Not great, I had a bleed on Friday night so feel a bit deflated xxx

[Gem5 in reply to Hidden]

A bleed that lasted or only one night? So sorry to hear that but unless it’s a continuous bleed I really wouldn’t worry( easier said I know)

[marie2018]

I had my transfer yesterday and I'm already climbing the walls. I'm off work at the minute but partly wish I wasn't as it's a great distraction. I'm trying to keep busy but it's hard to keep your mind busy on anything else. Didn't sleep at all well last night either...I'm hoping I'll be able to settle myself down a bit in a couple of days but we'll see. Good luck for the next two weeks, if you find any amazing ways to distract yourself let me know!! xx

[Gem5 in reply to marie2018]

I found work on my first round awfully stressful, everything and everyone was just annoying me! I’m finding I’m less stressed at home but my mind does keep focusing on it! I’m having some acupuncture today as I find it really relaxes me 😌

[Shil11]

I am well into the 2ww. I have 5 more days to test day and I am anxious all the time!! One thing that helped time go faster was watching movies and shows on Netflix!!! 😆 5 more days to go, I test on the 28th!! Please wish me luck!! Good luck to you!!

[Gem5 in reply to Shil11]

Good luck 🤞 not long to wait now! Think I’m gonna have to find a new show to watch on Netflix and see if that helps!

God luck hope you get what you wish for x

[Shil11 in reply to Gem5]

Thankyou

[Jonesjp]

I’m a couple of weeks off but wanted to wish you the best of luck and baby dust x x

[Gem5 in reply to Jonesjp]

Good luck to you too and thank you x

[Jane_30]

Dear ladies,

Good luck to all of you!!!

My advice for 2ww: Netflix & Puzzle's ☺️

J.

[Gem5 in reply to Jane_30]

Good ideas, thank you x

[Gem5]

Is anyone else finding that the pessaries are causing acne and hair to fall out more??? Or is it just me 😣

[Hidden]

My hair fell out a bit x and I was definitely more oily skinned

[Jenbot78]

Hello, I just had my frozen transfer today. Don’t feel any differently. Did anyone feel anything post transfer? Who knows what means what on this journey 😬

[Gem5 in reply to Jenbot78]

No I felt fine straight after, a little cramping bug I was long protocol fresh ivf

[Gem5]

I have been cramping and had dull aches since transfer now 3dp5dt, I’m so convinced af is on its way! Anyone else who is similar?

[Jem04 in reply to Gem5]

Hi I’ve had the same, cramps on and off, trying to stay calm and positive xx 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[Caza2009]

I’m not on my 2WW yet but just wanted to wish you luck 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xxx

[Gem5 in reply to Caza2009]

So cute thank you 😊 and good luck to you x

[Hidden]

The pessaires are so gross at night. If I forget to wear a pantry liner the gooey, itchy mess goes everywhere and wakes me up. Otherwise I feel good on it. My AF is due Monday/ Tuesday but she won’t show up whilst on progesterone, right? I had this beautiful, awful dream where I was carrying my beautiful baby boy . I was so full of love. Then I put him in the pram, looked away, looked back and all I could see was plastic wrapping like the pram had never been used 😭Are you feeling anything yet?

[Gem5 in reply to Hidden]

Oh what a sad dream 😢

Yes I’m with you on the pessaries, I always wear a pad as they are so damn messy! I have been cramping constantly it’s been getting worse the last couple of days, I am really not feeling hopeful as I’m so sure af really wants to start. My af started whilst on pessaries, during my last ivf, so yes it’s def possible x

[Jenbot78]

Hello, can I join? I am driving myself nuts and only 3 days post FET. No cramps at all but very bloated. Feeling like I should have been cramping by now and lack of is a bad sign 😢

[Gem5 in reply to Jenbot78]

I am now 5dpt and feeling calmer that I have been! I have been cramping since transfer and it is getting worse, I really don’t think that is a good sign, I would be gobsmacked if it was! I doubt you would be cramping as you had a fet, it’s much gentler on your uterus, less drugs ect , therefore a calmer environment for your embys.

[Jenbot78]

Hey Gem5 thanks for reply! I have one DD from IVF2 and had lots of cramping from that, so I guess I’m basing my experiences on that. Definitely can be a good sign! Hang in there. Forgot what a rollercoaster it all is...

[Gem5 in reply to Jenbot78]

Oh wow congratulations on your dd, it shows symptom spotting varies widely person to person. Its so hard to ignore bodily symptoms or lack off and then scrutinise them to death! I say no news is good news ie af 🤗

[Gem5]

I’m 7dp5dt and have not tested yet, was wondering how all my fellow 2ww ladies are doing? Has anyone tested yet? How is everyone coping? I’m still crampy, not so bad now, no bleeding or spotting at all, had a bit of pre af migraine and anxiety

[Hidden]

Hey! Time goes sooooooo slow. When is AF normally due for you? I am actually due on today and had spotting soooooo with that and my naughty bfn yesterday I am feeling I’m out 😕

[Gem5]

With my 1st cycle I bleed 2 weeks after my trigger injection, so tomorrow would be my due on day! TMI I just wiped and had v small amount of blood, I’m now freaking out, desperately trying not to test!!!! I’m sure mine is game over too 😢

[Hidden in reply to Gem5]

Are you using pessaries?

[Gem5 in reply to Hidden]

Yes 3 x daily

[Hidden in reply to Gem5]

Well it can totally be down to that. Lots of people on here get agitated by the pessaries. Check with your clinic. They may up the doses or advise you to take them back rather than front... please try not to worry xx

[Gem5]

I just did a very naughty test and I have a very faint 2nd line? Is this potentially exciting???? 🤩

[Hidden in reply to Gem5]

Wowwwser. Ohhhh I hope it progresses. Does hubby know?

[Gem5 in reply to Hidden]

No, trying to ring him now I’m freaking out a little

[Hidden in reply to Gem5]

Whyyyyy?? Is it a line line or a hold it up to the light and look with one eye line?

[Gem5 in reply to Hidden]

I have posted a pic on the thread have a look?

[Hidden]

Official OTD for me and it’s a BFN. Full flow AF started yesterday, right when she was due. I knew from 6dp it hadn’t worked. Oh well. I have a small hydro so it was likely that. Not ready for surgery though or for another round. It is all too much on body and mind so I am peacing out. Good luck to all you ladies. I hope your dreams come true xxx

[Gem5 in reply to Hidden]

Oh no I’m so so sorry for you, I truly believe we will all get our precious bfp one day. Look after self and make time to recoup mentally and physically. Thinking of you 😘 I know how it feels x
