Halfway through my 4th 2ww on my last NHS go, any other 2ww’s out there right now?!

Hi lovely people!

I’m 5dp5dt with the second and last frozen embryo from my second and last NHS funded round of ivf.

I’ve had cramps and twinges and spotting and all sorts with my first three transfers but none ever ended with a BFP.

This time I’m having hardly any signs...just very mild cramping once yesterday afternoon and that’s about all I’ve had...no signs of any implantation cramping or spotting.

Not sure if this is a good or bad thing.

When you get cramps you’re certain AF is on her way and when you get nothing it feels like nothing is happening?!

It’s just the dreaded limbo world of the 2ww that I’m stuck in and have to deal with.

I’m so pleased I’m halfway through but knowing I’ve still got another 5 days to go is torturous! And the insanity only gets worse from this point!

Any words of wisdom or just general support would be much appreciated if you’re reading this!

And if you’re also in the 2ww I’m with you on this!!!!! Hope you’re doing ok!!! We’ve got this!!!! X

Just stopping by to give my love and wishes

Hope you get your BFP this time round.

It’s hard to say about symptoms as each cycle and person is different

Say I was adamant my GCSE’s had t worked as I got really bad period pains the day before test day,

I know it’s hard but try think positive

Big hugs 🤗 and good luck xxx

Hi Scarlett

I'm almost at the end of my 2ww test day is Tuesday. I've only had the odd period type cramp on and off but I haven't really had anything else. I wouldn't read too much into it, easier said than done I know. Good luck with the rest of your 2ww. Xx

I’m 8dp 5dt. Im the opposite to you in that (this is my 5th transfer) on my two bfps I had af type cramping, tiredness and sensitive/sore boobs but on my two bfns I had nothing really, bit tired and slight backache but no cramping. Now this time feels more like my bfns but I’m still hoping for a miracle! It’s a tough time xx

Thank you!! My test day is Saturday! I’ve been having lots of cramping and I’ve felt quite sick most of today on and off!!! But I just don’t no what to think!!

Our first ended with early bleeding and a chemical so I’m just waiting........it’s gonna be a long week! And I’m back to work Tuesday to add to the stress xxx

Scarlett13 in reply to Lisaworthy1981

My OTD is a week Monday on day 13 but I’ll test Friday on day 10. I’m working Monday to Thursday then I’ll be off for Friday Saturday Sunday to deal with the news.

I hope you have a much better outcome this time and don’t worry about the cramping if there’s no red blood xxx

Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Scarlett13

The best advice my clinic gave to me was be kind to yourself and laugh!

Good luck x

I’m 5dp5dt too and no symptoms other than mild cramping on day 3-4. This is our third transfer and have really struggled to stay positive this time. I think it gets harder and harder each time. I’m testing on Friday too! Hope the next few days go well for you and praying for our BFPs. Xx

Good luck Scarlett, I hope you get your BFP. xx

Hi Scarlett, best thing I can say is keep busy and distracted! Are you doing anything fun for your long weekend?

I'm a few days behind you on the 2WW.

Best of luck, hoping with everything it's a positive on Sunday Xx

Sadly I got a negative result today. I’m devastated. Good luck on the rest of your 2ww xxx

Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. I havnt stopped cramping yet. It’s cramping like I get when I’m about to start my period. Xxxx

Scarlett13 profile image
Scarlett13 in reply to Rfletcher

Let’s hope it’s implantation cramping or the progesterone. Please don’t worry about cramping. Plenty of women get a BFP with cramps, they are normal Xxx
