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

[Scarlett13]

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

[Leesalou]

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

Thank you xxxxx

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

[Scarlett13 in reply to Penders]

Good luck to you too, you’re almost there!!! What day will that be that you’re testing on, days past transfer? How are you feeling? Xx

[Penders in reply to Scarlett13]

It will be 12dp5dt on test day. Feeling ok trying not to think too much about it. This is our 3rd transfer so hoping it all works out this time. When is your test day? Xx

[Scarlett13 in reply to Penders]

I’m testing Friday, day 10, but my official test day is day 13 x

Good luck xxx

[Hidden in reply to Penders]

Good luck xx

[Scarlett13 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you xxx

[Faithful06]

I’m 4dp5dt and every cycle has been different. I’m trying not to read anything into because you really don’t ever know until you take the test. Hang in there hun!!

[Scarlett13 in reply to Faithful06]

Thank you - you too xxx

[Lou7744]

Hi there, I’m also on the 2ww! Only on day 3 though, so agesss to go yet 😆 hang on in there!

Wishing you lots of luck 💕 xx

[Scarlett13 in reply to Lou7744]

Thank you! You too xxx

[Tugsgirl]

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

[Scarlett13 in reply to Tugsgirl]

Good luck, I seriously hope this is your time x

[Lisaworthy1981]

I’m on day 5 too after our first frozen transfer xxx

[Scarlett13 in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

Fingers crossed for us both!!!!!! Xxx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Scarlett13]

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]

Yeah Think we will test on Friday as my oh is at work from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning!! So won’t feel right doing it without him!!

Thank you, fingers crossed for no blood this time!!

Good luck to you too, I’ll keep a loot out for your post xxx

[Scarlett13 in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

We will be testing at the same time then. Eeek! I’m nervous! Keep me posted x

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Scarlett13]

Will do xxx

[Snowy76]

[Scarlett13 in reply to Snowy76]

[Scarlett13 in reply to Cinderella5]

Thank you xxx

[Bobenhams3]

Not in my 2ww but just wanted to say good luck. I was successful for the first time on my 4th go so fingers crossed for you.

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

Good luck x

[Scarlett13 in reply to Bobenhams3]

True words. Congrats and thanks for reaching out, hope I’m 4th time lucky like you xxx

[Blondie_81]

Wishing you the best of luck and all the bfp vibes for this time round! I will be having my 4th transfer from my last funded round next month fingers crossed so can completely understand the hell that is the 2ww and aftermath xx

[JenKath]

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

[Hidden]

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

[Scarlett13 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you lots and lots xx

[Hidden]

The best of luck honey, rooting for a BFP for you x

[Scarlett13 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks so much xx

[hannahkc]

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

[Scarlett13 in reply to hannahkc]

Thank you!! I’m actually testing Friday and I’m off Friday to Sunday, so what I get up to this weekend will depend how I feel but I’ve kept it purposefully free - when’s your test day? Good luck lovely, keep me posted, hope you’re coping ok xxx

[hannahkc in reply to Scarlett13]

Thanks Sweetie, you are almost there! My OTD is next Tuesday, so am past the hump but time is slowing down. Normally I would never wish my weekend away.

Wishing you everything is positive tomorrow Xx

[Sweets1]

Just wishing you all the best, and hope the next few days go quickly xx

[Devj]

Best of luck, the 2ww is a loooong journey and makes you very apprehensive at every twinge and cramp. I certainly dont miss my 2ww but waiting for the scan and now my next scan is a long journey too! Full of milestones this ivf malarkey 😂 take care and best of luck xxx

[Scarlett13 in reply to Devj]

Oh wow congrats and hope you get to your scan before you know it!!! Everything takes so long!!!! Thanks for your message xx

[Scarlett13]

Another negative. Absolutely heartbroken 😭 xxx

[Cinderella5 in reply to Scarlett13]

Im so sorry Scarlett! Ive had four now and it doesnt get any easier even although I almost expect this result now! Huge hugs.xx

[Scarlett13 in reply to Cinderella5]

I was expecting it too, 4th go, used to it but not easy. Really is awful and so unfair. I hope your Cinderella magic works for you soon x

[Cinderella5 in reply to Scarlett13]

I really hope we both get there! Its so tough going through all these meds and cycles time after time.....think we both need a fairy godmother!xx

[hannahkc]

Oh no, this is sad news, Scarlett. I was hopeful this would not be true!

Sending you big hugs Xx

[Rfletcher]

I’m on day 3, had my transfer on Tuesday. It’s such a long hard wait. Good luck. X

[Scarlett13 in reply to Rfletcher]

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

[Rfletcher in reply to Scarlett13]

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 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
