Good morning,

5dp5dt , in pain right now, but coping.

Isn't early to test on Saturday? X

kirstyblue profile image
kirstyblue in reply toSassa1234

Oh no! What stomach cramps? Might be a good sign! My OTD is Saturday xx

Sassa1234 profile image
Sassa1234 in reply tokirstyblue

Stomach pain is not as bad as lower abdomen pain.

I phoned my clinic and they told me to wait 2 weeks to test ,however, I noticed many lovely ladies test on their 12th day post transfer the same as you ! 🤔

How about you? Any symptoms? X

kirstyblue in reply toSassa1234

Maybe it’s a good sign. Hopefully! Oh I’m not sure why your test date is further. Was it a 3 day transfer or a 5?

I had stomach cramps on Friday and I’ve had a couple days of spotting but that seems to have stopped now..apart from that nothing l else.

5 day transfer

Wow them 7days flew by!! I’m 9dp3dt and due to test on Friday. I now get it when people say it seems to be the longest wait. I feel ok about the test at the moment, but ask me again Thursday evening 😂

kirstyblue profile image
kirstyblue in reply toCLN1986

They didn’t for me 😂🙈 Have you had any signs? Xx

CLN1986 profile image
CLN1986 in reply tokirstyblue

Not really. Sore boobs at first, but I put that down to the pessaries. The odd few cramps, like you get when you are due on, and maybe slightly more tired than normal. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m 10dp5dt and only two days till OTD. Not had a single symptom. I did get a UTI just before transfer (probably from pessaries) and am currently on a second lot of antibiotics for that, as it came back after I finished the first lot. Not sure what to think. Heart starts racing every time I think about testing. :S

kirstyblue in reply toTyeuri

Oh bless you. Doesn’t necessarily mean it hasn’t worked though. Plenty do not get any signs. Mine too! I’m terrified. Xx

I totally feel with you! My period is due on Saturday/Sunday and I really dont know how I am going to survive another negative outcome. My body feels weird and my emotions are all over the place, yesterday I forgot my key at home and needed to go back home (not a big deal at all) but I just started to cry and I had to sit down for a while. I am looking forward to my upcoming holiday to reset my nerves.

You are here in good company and we can keep you busy and hopefully help you to stay relaxed :) I cross all my fingers for you!

kirstyblue profile image
kirstyblue in reply tosarahharas

Oh bless you. I’m a nervous wreck too. Is it your second round or first?

Thank you. Just feels like it’s going to be the longest week ever xx

sarahharas profile image
sarahharas in reply tokirstyblue

Im am not having IVF yet, just having injections to trigger as I do not ovulate naturally, but the SA of my husband looks normal. It is my 9th round though. I need to keep telling myself that it definitely did not work otherwise I will be destroyed (I will be anyway). Hy husband is away this week, so I am sitting at home all alone...I am not reading any symptoms and I wont test.

Lets just all hope for a very positive result :) Especially when it is your first round!

kirstyblue in reply tosarahharas

It’s good that you’re managing to stay away from symptom spotting and google! Wish I could say the same!

Thank you. Wishing you luck too cx

sarahharas profile image
sarahharas in reply tokirstyblue

Hahahaha, I have spent more time looking up symptoms ypu can imagine (I think I had them all), but after so many cycles you just realize that it does not bring you any further. I am having symptoms right now, but they can just mean anything ;) I hope that you will not come to this point xx

Hi KirstyBlue and fellow 2wwers 🤗 I'm 5dp5dt and doing ok I think. Sometimes it's all I can think about then other times I completely forget and when I remember it all just feels so surreal. When I imagine testing I feel quite sick. It's the not knowing that is just the worst!

Love to you all - we will get there 💪🙏 xx

When are you testing? And when was your transfer? X

Kcrochet in reply toKepn17

Yay OTD buddies! I'm actually away this weekend with some girlfriends - so typical the one time I go away without hubby the whole year and it's OTD! I think I'm going to test in the evening of OTD once I get home, although worried it might not work if I'm not using first morning wee. The things we have to consider...

Wishing you lots of luck for your test! xx

I had my transfer one week ago today (does that make me 7dp5dt or 8dp5dt??). My official test date is Wednesday. I have every symptom under the sun at this point - cramps, back ache, headache, nausea. Today I can't stand strong smells - ladies' perfumes on the bus made me nauseous.

I must admit I was naughty this morning and did a home test - I couldn't hold on any longer after a weekend of being by myself I was going round the bend!!! I know it is far too early and could show a false positive from the trigger shot. But I do have two lines!! (one fainter than the other but definitely, definitely there). It's the first two lines I've ever seen on a test, in over two years of ttc. Will test again tomorrow to check they are still there. :-)

Completely with you. Feeling so nervous whenever I think about testing on Sunday. Almost just don’t want it to come, as at least now there’s some hope! Oh dear. Keep trying to tell myself whatever happens it will all be ok. We just need to keep strong 💪💛x

Good luck to all testing today.

I haven’t had anymore spotting (so praying it was implantation) 🙏 No further cramping, have had diarrhoea a couple times in one week which is unusual for me (sorry tmi).again could be pessary related. Just not sure what to think anymore. 🙈 x

I am 6dp3dt, I have been completely relaxed but for some reason today I am freaking out. Driving myself crazy, such tense shoulders. Wish I could go sleep and only wake up on test day on 20th 🤦🏻‍♀️

Kcrochet profile image
Kcrochet in reply to

Same here - 6dp5dt and suddenly feeling quite despondent and anxious. Maybe there's a 6dp syndrome or something?! I found egg transfer such an amazing and hopeful experience and felt on a high for the first days of waiting. But all the positive energy seems to have drained away somewhere aargh! My test day is Sunday which feels scarily close and ages away at the same time. This is not fun! 😬

in reply toKcrochet

Yes, I remember with my other transfers I felt the same around this time. Perhaps at the beginning we know 2 weeks is far away but from about day 6 then test day start getting closer and the fear starts taking over 🙈. I keep thinking my embryos are gone, then I put a face mask on and completely freaked out thinking perhaps it has chemicals that will harm my embryos so I ran and washed it off!! I think im loosing my sanity 😱

in reply to

P.s- good luck for Sunday, fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞

I feel the same, like I was fairly calm up to yesterday. Keep trying to tell myself its still so early so impossible to tell xx

in reply tokirstyblue

Me too, I am so tempted to just test but I know that would just be stupid, its way too early. Good luck, keep us updated on your progress xx

Oh dear, I am doing it again. Reading into my symptoms :-(

I am 8/9dpo, period due on Sunday/monday latest. I had a progesterone ovulation test on monday and the nurse told me it is over the moon (they want to see 20ng/ml and mine wss 56!). Throughout yesterday I had some stinging/pulling pain in my lower abdomen, it reminded me of my HSG some while ago. During the day I got so tired, I had to leave work, I was not only tired but utterly exhausted, like my body wont listen to my brain any more and the pain was worse. I had to get up twice tonight to go to the toilet and this morning It feels like I am having an UTI (no pain during weeing though), and my CF got really watery. Plus my BBT raised from.a stable 38.8 to 37.1.

All of this is giving me so much hope but I just know that my body is only playing tricks on me and my period will come :-( I really dont know how I am going to survive the wait! And my husband is away for work :-(

kirstyblue profile image
kirstyblue in reply tosarahharas

It’s so difficult to stay away from google isn’t it! All of your symptoms do sound promising but hang on in there till test day!

I’m 8dp5dt..I had a couple days of spotting but now nothing. Just want to feel something. The closer it’s getting the more I’m wanting to get symptoms 😫 xx

sarahharas profile image
sarahharas in reply tokirstyblue

I understand, but you can well be pregnant without having symptoms. Sunday is getting closer :)

I am deeply convinced I am just having a bladder infection.

Sassa1234 profile image
Sassa1234 in reply tosarahharas

What makes say that? I mean bladder infection???!!!

sarahharas profile image
sarahharas in reply toSassa1234

I have to go to the loo roughly every half hour or so and I am having a weird prickling sensation in my lower abdomen which is sometimes even slightly painful. I try getting some pharmacy test later today and then call my GP.

Sassa1234 profile image
Sassa1234 in reply tosarahharas

Good luck

Me, pain when I wee(sorry) , however, on the transfer day had a urine test and it was okay no infection. So with these medications, I reckon, our bodies are in mess. Poor we are lol . X

sarahharas profile image
sarahharas in reply toSassa1234

Haha you are right ;) Well, only a couple more days then we know. We both might know the same day! I really cross my fingers for you and all the others testing soon!

Sassa1234 profile image
Sassa1234 in reply tosarahharas

When are you testing?x

sarahharas profile image
sarahharas in reply toSassa1234

My period is due on Sunday/Monday. I wont do a test, I am just waiting for it to arrive. I am sure it will. The clinic wants me to come in for a blood test 2 days after a missed period, but I am anyway having an appointment on Wednesday to discuss any further treatment.

Sassa1234 profile image
Sassa1234

How are you feeling, kirstyblue? Any symptoms?

kirstyblue profile image
kirstyblue in reply toSassa1234

I’m okay thanks, no more spotting. I’ve had the odd moment where I’ve felt slightly sick..then I wonder if I’m just going crazy and just over thinking things. How about you? Xx

Sassa1234 profile image
Sassa1234 in reply tokirstyblue

Sick ? Me hunger in the morning and very slightly sick still get pain but it's getting better. Sore boobs but these can be caused by the pessaries( progesterone) so I'm not counting on it plus period like pain on/ off no spotting at all. Thanks x

kirstyblue profile image
kirstyblue in reply toSassa1234

Yeah it’s sort of on and off sick feeling. Period like pain can be a good sign though!

I also do not feel confident..I’m like 50:50 🙈 xx

Sassa1234 profile image
Sassa1234

Let's wait and see

It’s so good to read all the comments from the other 2WW buddies. I am due to test on the 21st so one week to go. I’m convincing myself it hasn’t worked to self preserve I think!! Thanks Kirsty and everyone for sharing! :) Hope you’re ok and feeling ok. Good luck everyone. X 🙏🏼
