I Hate The 2WW

As the title suggests, this 2WW is a killer!

I know many of you agree with this! 😂

I am feeling a bit of a negative nelly today, got a slight headache and TMI coming up but feel like wet and a bit like AF is coming!

AF isn’t actually due until next week if she is going to come so just feeling a bit in limbo!

I felt really nauseous yesterday and tired but no other signs! My boobs don’t hurt and I’ve only had a few twinges.

I can’t blame anything on pessaries as this is a natural cycle so not using anything, it’s all down to me!

I’m scared that my body will fail me 😔 I need a kick up the bum and to pull my positive pants up but feeling a bit sorry for myself and I haven’t really got any real reason to!

Sorry for the moan ladies 😘 xx

Don’t apologise! TTC is bloody hard, be kind to yourself and give yourself a break. Have you got things to do to distract yourself during the 2WW?

Thanks hun. You are so right, its so hard sometimes!

Hubby is unfortunately on nights this week but tonight I am going to do some of my side work - just glittering baubles and glasses and Ive got a few orders in so going to finish some of those off then sit reading a book with my face mask.

Tomorrow, I am meeting one of the lovely ladies I have met through here for a catch up, so that shall be lovely.

After that, I am not sure tbh - got a party on Saturday night but not much else so will have to plan some things in with hubs for next week.

Plenty to keep you busy!! It’s so easy to let it take over your life, but do try not to let it x

Thanks so much, appreciated :) xx

No need to apologise 2WW are so tough going.

I would advise to try to have lots of things to do to try to take your mind off things ( which I know is much easier said than done) Try to do nice things for you 🙂

I had no symptoms during my 2WW which I got a BFP ( any I had could’ve easily been PMS). Early pregnancy symptoms vs PMS are the same & difficult to tell apart- I couldn’t anyway! I also had cramps so strong I thought my period was coming-it was 3 days before my period was due, but it was implantation cramps. It felt like period cramping. Cramping isn’t always bad. Sometimes it can be a good sign 😏

Wishing you a happy outcome 😍 xozo

Hiya.... it certainly is lol.

Your future little one wants you to be relaxed and having lots of 'me' time. He/she or they want you to feel positive and strong xxx good luck. Hope AF doesnt return x

Ugh amen to all you said - this is awful! I might get a mug with 'I hate the 2ww' on it 😁 I'm trying to keep as busy as I can, going for dinner with friends tonight and by chance I have a weekend away with some girlfriends. Do you have anything nice planned for the week?

Pity they can't just keep us sedated from EC for 2 weeks haha.

Stay strong comrade! Positive pants not knegative knickers 😋 xx

JB1988 in reply to Kcrochet

Haha - I might make myself one - Ill take orders - haha!

Yes, keeping busy is the key. I am ok for the next two days and Sat night but the rest is a bit empty at the moment, will have to fill my days up, so I dont have time to think!

Work is just too quiet to take my mind off things in the day - its not helping! I thought working would be better than sitting at home moping but I think I would have found more to do at home!! haha!

When is your test day? xx

Kcrochet in reply to JB1988

Where do I place my order haha?! Maybe there's also a market for a set of pants with no of days post transfer printed on them instead of days of the week? 😆

I'm also trying to use work as a distraction - in my case I do have plenty to do but just can't concentrate!

My test day is Sunday. How about you? xx

The tww is from hell im sure. I’ve done 5 and will soon be doing my 6th, they don’t get any easier! All I can advise is the same as the other ladies; keep busy (but nothing too strenuous). Hang in there and good luck xx

JB1988 in reply to Tugsgirl

I hope your 6th is your lucky one xxx

Bless you It's good to have a moan when you need to It's impossible to be positive every day be kind to yourself do something you enjoy the 2ww will come to an end hoping you get great news at the end of it x

Just had a little pick up - the clinic have sent me a pic of my little embaby <3

I asked when I had transfer, they havent ever given one before but I am determined this will work this time so wanted it for our memories. It was nice that it arrived in my inbox today, just when I felt a bit low :) xxx
