How does time go sooo sllllow 😣

[Niki_B]

Omg I'm only 4dp5dt!! What the heck?! Feels like its been well over a week already. Ive got no symptoms really but had some cramping and pinching on my lower left side for a few hours in the evening on 2dpt but nothing else. No bleeding, no spotting nothing 😟 my boobs are starting to hurt less but I'm hoping that's just from the trigger shot leaving my body. I don't know i just feel different since yesterday, thinking it might be over 😞 xxx

[genten]

It's like time stands still!

Don't worry about symptoms, we all react completely different and you'll drive yourself mad!

You just try to relax as best you can and try to keep yourself occupied. Xxx

[Niki_B in reply to genten]

Its complete torture!! Ive been here before but it never gets any easier I guess. And yeah i know its just part of the torture i think it was about this time last 2ww that I started going mental 🙃 yes must keep busy!! Xoxo

[genten in reply to Niki_B]

I've been through one 2ww and it was the worst time ever. I think that's why I don't sleep well anymore.

But it will all be worth it in the end.

Haha definitely need to keep busy xxx

[Niki_B in reply to genten]

I know it's horrible aye hun 😟 well I sure hope so 🤞🤞🤞💕xxx

[Lou7744]

You gotta keep the faith! Only a few more days to go 🤞💕 xx

[Niki_B in reply to Lou7744]

I know I'm trying its just so hard 😕 xxx

[Lou7744 in reply to Niki_B]

It’s painful isn’t it?! I hate the 2ww... it’s like time stands still...boo!!! 💕 xx

[Kari55]

This is the hardest part of the process, isn’t it? Even though there are less injections, appointments but the wait and looking out for symptoms is madness. I think it is still very early for you, my friend felt nothing and was convinced it didn’t work but it did! 🤞 I’m having my transfer tomorrow. All the best xx

[Niki_B in reply to Kari55]

It's such madness! I've been here before unfortunately. I was doing really well up until today. Don't know why i just feel different today.

Hope everything goes well for transfer tomorrow....then welcome to the crazy 2ww! 😣😉😕🙃😜 xxx

[Kari55 in reply to Niki_B]

I will join your club tomorrow 😁 My test day is 16 days after transfer so this is actually more than 2 weeks! 🙄

You are doing very well xxx

[Niki_B in reply to Kari55]

Omg stuff that!!! We actually get tested at 9dp5dt through a blood test omg I could not handle more than 9 days!

Thank you...this f'n sucks!! 😂😣🙃😓 xxx

[Kari55 in reply to Niki_B]

I don’t know how they expect me to wait that long!!! Xxx

[AJJ123]

I have the exact same symptoms (or lack of) as you, occasional cramping boobs hurt on and off but nothing horrific like I expected.

Terrible heartburn too but that was yesterday. I’m 9 days post transfer.

The wait is horrible I know but everything you’ve said sounds positive.

My official test date is 11th. I’ve tested each day, and it’s positive but I am so scared that on my test day it’ll turn out to be negative just because I can’t believe the test is right or if it’s not as dark as the day before because I tested too early.

I wish I’d waited because now I’m checking that the lines are getting darker. I’ve caused myself a right headache or heartache whichever way.

So far so good ... until tomorrow 😢

Xx

[Niki_B in reply to AJJ123]

Oh wow you have tested super early! No way I would have done that then I would spend a fortune in tests! My OTD is the 12th (we get a blood test 9dp5dt) so I might test on the 11th as I would rather know before a nurse from the clinic tells me over the phone and I burst into tears like last time and hang up the phone on her 😣 hopefully I don't before then and test as I know it will just drive me crazy like last time 🙃

Congrats by the way!!! I doubt it's going to turn negative hun. Your wallet might be looking a bit negative tho after all those tests 😉🤣😘 big congrats to you though 😁😘😘 xxx

[AJJ123 in reply to Niki_B]

Haha yes I know, at least 4 tests to buy today for each morning including test day, why so expensive? I’m in the wrong job.

The clinic gave me two tests which without you needing to guess, I used too.

I agree, having a nurse call you and tell you the bad news would be awful, I’d. I would be doing a test beforehand just to prepare myself.

That was my excuse this week, it was to take the pressure away from ‘test day’ pah!

Good luck 🤞 for us all xx

[Niki_B in reply to AJJ123]

Haha aww gosh the tests are evil aye! Must be nice to see 2 lines tho!! 😍😍 hope everything keeps progressing nicely and you have a happy and healthy pregnancy! 😘😘 xxx

[Turtleswimmin]

I don't have any symptoms at all. My boobs were sore but I thought that was from the progesterone pessaries and that was like that before the embryo even went back in but that's completely gone now and I'm 6 days past transfer.

I'm feeling completely 'normal' but I'm trying to take that as a good sign as most people who get pregnant who aren't 'trying' (had a few friends who've been that bloody lucky) don't know they're pregnant until they miss their period because they're not looking for things that we now are all so attuned too. Xxx

I've got 2 nights planned for dinner with girlfriends Monday and Tuesday then Thursday I've got an open evening at work so I'm hoping my busy week will make Saturday come quickly xx

[Niki_B in reply to Turtleswimmin]

Hun don't worry about the boobs...that will be the trigger shot (hcg) leaving your body. It stays in your system for about 10 days.

I know we just notice everything and half of it is not even real probably! And i hate being on constant knicker watch looking for signs of implantation 🙈🤦‍♀️

Oh that's so good I have nothing planned!, it's school holidays over here in nz and obviously all my friends have kids and they are busy with families and on holiday etc. thats so good you are keeping busy sounds like time will fly for you 😁😘😘 xxx

[Turtleswimmin in reply to Niki_B]

Oh no that's rubbish thats everyone is so busy. I've pestered all my friends and meeting 4 of them tomorrow and another 2 on Tuesday. I've just had an argument with my boyfriend over housework so I'm not sure today is going to fly by 😢 we both work full time and I'm the only one who notices things need doing and he's now being s stubborn dick so I've walked away and watching TV on my own (sorry that's a side moan).

I'm not going to expect any implantation bleeding as it's meant to only happen in 10% of women and it didn't happen last time I got pregnant. I'm still on knickers watch though 😂😂😂 but I was the whole time I was pregnant and then the worst happened! I really wish there was an off switch for the thinking part of my brain xxx

[Niki_B in reply to Turtleswimmin]

Oh no sorry you and OH had an argument. Most men are bloody useless when it comes to housework! I can barely get my OH to change the kitty litter box at the moment never mind the dog poo piling up outside! Grrrr 🙃

Oh no very sorry about your miscarriage that's awful 😓

Well i just woke up so now I'm 5dp5dt...4 more days in hell! 😂😕🙃😜 xxx

[Turtleswimmin in reply to Niki_B]

Tell me about bloody men! It didn't last long and today he's been a lot more proactive so he must have felt guilty!

Thanks, it was 11 months ago now but it was a really shitty time.

You're so lucky, only 4 more days to wait. When i wake up on Monday I'll be 7 days past and still have until Saturday to wait but we're over half way xxx

[Niki_B in reply to Turtleswimmin]

Haha oh that's good then, sometimes all they need is for us to have a wee moan and stomp off 😂🤣even tho we shouldn't have to!

Oh gosh hun I bet I couldn't even imagine just how shitty 😓 xxx

Omg hun you been waiting aaages already I shouldn't complain! I'm feeling like I want to test now 🙈 but I'm telling myself just wait!! If I do a test and it's negative why cause myself more heartache? Also I won't even be able to cry over a bottle or 3 of wine cause I'll have to wait till OTD anyways! So any way I look at it its a lose lose situation (unless it was positive but..) yeah I have a test or 2 in the cupboard (can't remember if it's 1 or 2 don't even want to go near them!) I'm definately going to test before call from the nurse but I'm trying to tell myself just wait till Friday morning! That way can still cry with wine later in the arvo 😂🤣😣😕🙃 xxx

[Turtleswimmin in reply to Niki_B]

Yes try stay strong! I've woke up from a really vivid dream where I took a test and it was positive but now I'm feeling worried because in all my time of TTC if I've dreamt its positive then it's always been negative. Well I've only ever been pregnant once so only had that positive. All just feels like the odds are so against us! I'll definitely be drinking lots of wine next weekend if its negative! I'm now feeling negative 😭 maybe that's Monday morning blues xx

[Niki_B in reply to Turtleswimmin]

Gosh this is just torture isn't it hun!! 1 minute I'm like yep ok maybe...next minute definately not. Like you say the odds aren't greater they 😕 I've now been having some cramping today like mild af like cramps, but she not due till the 15th....oh I don't know! But I do know exactly how your feeling and it bloody sucks aye! I just want to drink wine right now, I so wish I could! 😣🤣🙃😕 xxx

[Turtleswimmin in reply to Niki_B]

Well I'll either be drinking copies amounts of wine this weekend or sparkling water from a champagne glass. How are you feeling today lovely? I'm on a course today so escaping school, hoping for a posh lunch as it's at the Holiday Inn xx

[Niki_B in reply to Turtleswimmin]

I will PM you 😊😘

[Olivialinney]

Hi I know the feeling I’m only 2dp5dt transfer and it feels like it’s a never ending journey 😕and as for symptoms yesterday I had lots of little twinges and a bit of dull lower backache not sure if that’s a good sign or bad. I’ve done this 8 times now and it only gets harder 🤯and in my last attempts a few times I was convinced I was pregnant and I wasn’t 😢so I’m trying not to watch symptoms to much I know how wrong they can be But I will continue to drive my self mad by poas until test day🤷🏻‍♀️🙏🏻

[Niki_B in reply to Olivialinney]

Omg 8 times?!! Omg you poor thing this journey is just so unfair sometimes! Oh i really hope the rest of your 2ww goes quicker. And I won't dare test just yet cause then I will go crazy POAS all day and spend loads of money only to make the 2ww even harder! I'm really hope this will be our time 🤞🤞💕xxx

[Olivialinney in reply to Niki_B]

Yeah 4 fresh and 4frozen. My first 2 were bfps with 20 week and 19 week loss with twins both times. And every time since has been bfn. I’m a poas addict really can’t help myself so will drive myself completely mad in the meantime x

[Turtleswimmin in reply to Olivialinney]

Omg you've really been through it. Wishing you all the luck in the world this time and hope it flies by, wish I know it doesbt as I'm also waiting too. Xx

[staceymac83]

Morning

I had my embryo transfer on Wednesday and have experienced the same as yourself. Some cramping, slightly tender boobs and have been quite emotional since yesterday but other than that no bleeding.

It’s such a frustrating time isn’t it 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have been so positive but this morning I have woke up with a million doubts in my mind.

When do you test? Xx

[Niki_B in reply to staceymac83]

I had my transfer Wednesday too!! Yes sooo frustrating!! And I knew this would happen....first few days so positive then old negative nellys comes barging in and takes over!! 😣😡

We get a blood test at 9dp5dt so mine is the 12th. But think I will test the day before so I can prepare myself before the nurse calls. What about you??

Xxx

[staceymac83 in reply to Niki_B]

It drives you insane 🤦🏻‍♀️

Am the same, test on the 12th but think am going to test on Thursday just so I know what to expect xx

[Hidden]

Aww hun 2WW is awful isn’t it.

I had no symptoms- it felt like PMS & i even had what I thought was period cramps 3 days before my period was due ( 12 days post Lh surge) but it was implantation cramps! I’m 6 weeks today.

PMS vs Early pregnancy symptoms are identical and difficult to tell apart! I’ve never managed to anyway ( I’ve had 3 pregnancies-1st having my son, 2nd chemical pregnancy & 3rd this one) It’s another cruel twist on this journey.

When I felt helpless on my 2WW I told myself I had other options available & we’d get there one way or another & it didn’t matter how! I swear that put less pressure on me & helped us get our positive. So much of this is out of our hands isn’t it, we can only try our best & that has to be good enough!

Keeping everything crossed for youth get a BFP test day🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻✨✨✨ xoxo

[Niki_B in reply to Hidden]

Yes I know it's just really hard. This was going to be it for us but knowing we have 2 frosties sort of helps should all this turn bad. I just want this so much, just like we all do and hurts that much more with everything we've been through and sacrificed through this whole process. Well on my time will tell..just woke up so it's now 5dp5dt 😁 xxx

[Lamorna80]

Same as you with no real symptoms 😕 Feeling similar to all my bfns but still desperately trying to stay positive but so, so hard. I’m 8dp5dt but way too scared to test early. 4 days to go and it’s been the slowest time of my life.

Good luck and hope you find your positive self again soon xxx

[Niki_B in reply to Lamorna80]

Yep I'm feeling the same way feels like my BFN and like you I want to test..,but am terrified. Well I've just woken up (I'm in New zealand) so now I'm 5dp5dt 4 more days to go. Best of luck to you hang in there hunny we almost there 😊😘xxx

[Tugsgirl]

There really is no way to tell. The only real “symptom” I got on both my bfps was af type cramping. It felt EXACTLY the same as when she’s on her way. Didn’t get the cramping on my bfns. I did get twinges (some sharp) and pulling sensations on bfns and bfps. Even got dull lower backache, a lot, on my bfn in February. The problem is that the meds we take can play tricks with us. They can mimic a lot of symptoms, such as tender breasts and cramping. Hang in there, you’re doing really well xx

[Niki_B in reply to Tugsgirl]

Well my period ain't due until the 15th Oct so if I did get any cramps it wouldn't be af. Just feel like I did during my last BFN 😞 I can't explain it but have felt different since 2dp5dt. Anyways I just woke up so now I'm 5dp5dt....4 more days of torture 😊😘xxx
