1 week through 2ww

[jengi]

Hi everyone

So I’m 1week through the 2ww. Trying to keep my mind busy. Having all sorts of aches and pains in my tummy. I have a dull ache on the right side of my tummy which is aggravated when I wee (but no burning or stinging). I’ll go to my GP surgery tomorrow and leave a sample in case it’s a urinary tract infection, otherwise maybe it’s just some bruising or everything settling back to normal.

I was really low last week but my mood has picked up since Friday. Implantation would have been anytime between Fri & today, so desperately hoping that little embryo has tucked in for the long haul. I had acupuncture on Saturday which was nice & relaxing.

Then I got a text from a friend who got married in Aug telling me she was 5 months pregnant, followed by text from her sister (who is 8 months pregnant) inviting me to a baby shower. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! They don’t know our situation but I suspect they have some inclination otherwise why leave it so long to tell us? As it happens we are on our holibobs so I can’t make the baby shower. My little heart did a massive loop the loop & I was so sad & angry. I hate the feeelings it creates. I just wanted to scream 😱 I did some meditation to try & calm down and it really worked.

Trying to eat as healthy as possible, lots of protein, veggies and no starchy carbs. Keeping everything very low key, lots of relaxing and napping. I was off work today so got a few things organised for our holiday. Next few days will fly by and before we know it, it’ll be OTD 11th Feb. So nervous, excited & terrified all at once.

Hugs & positive vibes to all you warriors out there 😘 XX

Hey jengi. My OTD date with my clinic is the 11th too 🤪

So we are on the exact same boat. Like you I’m hoping implantation took place over the last few days. Fingers crossed for both of us 🤞 I have started to feel a little crampy down there, just hoping it has something to do with the progesterone or even better again implantation!!!

Feels like next Monday will never come. Think I’m going to do a at home test next Sunday anyways. Eek 😬

[jengi in reply to TeenyTiny]

Yay! Exciting to have a testing buddy. Best of luck and I hope this week flies by for you. Xx

I test on 13th Feb! Trying to chill & not take on too much in the days ahead (I’m a natural busy bee and am terrible at doing this! 😂)

I had a bit of a mental setback when a family member over dinner was talking about their new house layout being kiddy friendly & baby names - they’re not pregnant yet. But just made me frustrated about how easy baby making can be for so many people that it’s just taken for granted that it’s a given. It was tea (decaf!) & hugs from the hubby that helped - and some meditation. It’s a tough road! Xxx

[jengi in reply to Novice_knitter]

You test the day before Valentines!!!! Awh sorry to hear you’ve had to deal with all that chatter! It’s so tough. Best of luck for you OTD xx

Hi Jengi! My OTD is Sunday 10th so I'm in the same boat as you. Haven't felt anything tbh so far so I'm trying to it think about it!! This is our 7th transfer after 4 fresh rounds. We have 2 more frosties and then our time in IVF is done so we've got everything crossed! Did you get anything from the gpbto put your mind at rest?
