2ww... Who's with me?! 🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞

[Kat9lives]

Hi ladies

Just thought I'd see who else is going through their 2ww at the moment, how far into the 2ww are you and when is your OTD?

Have you had any symptoms, what diet (if any) are you following, any excersize, or just to share tips on keeping distracted!! 😆

I'm only 3dp5dt from a FET and my OTD is at 12dp5dt. I've had mild twingey cramps but nothing major so could easily be the meds but I'm keeping positive. Other than a healthy diet I'm trying to have pineapple, eggs and half an avocado a day (but only because I'm superstitious really!!) Exercise is just a gentle walk and tips wise, I've been busy at 2 birthday parties this weekend so that kept me distracted!

Fingers crossed for us all ladies!! Come and share your tips or just have a rant about how lonnnnnnnng the 2ww is!! 😆😬

Lots of luck, Kat x 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Hi Kat.

I’m also 3dp5dt. The weekend has been fine as have kept myself distracted with family and friends. Am home alone today so trying to keep myself busy with a good book and house work! Have this week off - not planned because of transfer it just happends to be half term here (i’m a teacher).

As for excersie I’m like you gentle walking is all im going to do. As for diet i’m going for healthy balanced but nothing special. A friend of mine that had been through ivf and had a healthy little boy did tell me she had a malteaser bunny everyday through her two week wait!!!😉

My test date is 9th of March. Keeping everything crossed 🤞🏼for us both!

Good luck xxx

Hi Beps , thanks for replying 😁 We're at exactly the same stage then! 😁 It takes a lot of effort to get through the 2ww even though we're supposed to be taking it easy!

Is your OTD a blood test at your clinic? My OTD is 6th March. Are you planning to test early?

Have you had any symptoms? Are you doing the pessaries and oestrogen tablets? Sorry for all the questions!! 😂

That's so funny that your friend had a malteser bunny a day... Sounds like a brilliant diet! 😁

Everything is crossed for us! Good luck! 🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞 xx

[Beps in reply to Kat9lives]

I know the effort trying not to think about it is 😬 I am enjoying the excuse to have a nana nap in the avo if i feel like it though 😉.

My OTD is just a home test then contact the clinic with result. Strange how every clinic is different. Is yours a blood test at the clinic?

You have an earlier test date than me then eventhough we are at the same stage - i wonder why?!! I’m not planning on testing early but when we get to that point I may say differently - especially as you have an earlier test date then me.

I dont know if ive had any symptoms to be onest - had a few twinges but i’ve just been putting thay down to everything my body has been going throigh. I’m trying my best not to concentrate on symptoms as everyone is different.

I am only doing the pessaries. This is my first round so everyyhing is new to me. Is it your first round too?

[Kat9lives in reply to Beps]

Yes mines a blood test at the clinic. Every clinic is different aren't they! Did you have your transfer on Friday? It could be down to their availability too as to when they do the test.

Good outlook not to think about symptoms, although I can't do that! I'm analysing everything 😂 This is my 3rd cycle, 1st was fresh IVF BFN, 2nd was fresh ICSI BFP. This is my first FET.

Is yours a FET or fresh cycle? Best of luck lovely, I'm off for a walk shortly! Xx

[Beps in reply to Kat9lives]

My transfer was sat morning. So i’m a day behind you then. I count sat as day one, not sure if i should be. Mine was a fresh cycle. Its our first cycle. We had ICSI. Have a nice walk i think ill do the same this avo.

🤞🏼 For you. Let me know how it goes xxx

[Kat9lives in reply to Beps]

Sat will be your transfer day then so Sunday is your first day post transfer. We had ICSI last time (fresh) and this cycle is a frozen embie from the same ICSI cycle. Best of luck lovely xxx

[KittyK]

I'm pretty much same as you sounds like. My OTD is tomorrow but I was stupid and tested today and was negative. Promised I wouldn't test early x___x why do I do this to myself?

Good luck in your 2ww!

[Kat9lives in reply to KittyK]

Oh KittyK I hope you get your BFP, I'll be thinking about you tomorrow. 🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞 xxx

[Pickles85]

Me! I’m only 2 days in and it’s already dragging!! My test date is March 6th. I had some cramps yesterday so the day after the transfer but I reckon that was due to everything my body has been through lately. Feel ‘normal’ again today. Apart from vitamins I’m just on the progesterone pesseries. Good luck to you!! Xx

[Kat9lives in reply to Pickles85]

Good luck Pickles85 😁 We have the same OTD! YES, I think it's dragging already ha ha! I'm off work for a few days but it's making me think more about it. Going for a walk now with an audio book to distract myself! 😂

Fingers crossed for us all 😁🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞 xx

Hello!! I’m in my 2ww but quite close OTD is 28th which is Thursday 2 weeks after my first IUI. I have been absolutely fine till now today I am an anxious irritable horrible mess which I largely put down to hormones and the fear all the feelings I have are my usual AF symptoms.

My one piece of advice don’t test early!! I did and it was positive due to the trigger still being present so I tested it out and now I can’t beat to test again luckily I don’t have any left at home and won’t buy any more!! I have a blood test Thursday.

Keep distracted keep busy xxx

[Kat9lives in reply to amandac84]

Aww hormones are horrible aren't they!! I think if we can get through this we can do anything 😂 Have you got a good support network around you? Not long left for you atleast, the 2ww feels like months doesn't it. Atleast you're on the home straight now! I was told during my last 2 fresh cycles (with the HCG trigger) that if you are going to test early,make sure it's atleast 14 days post transfer to ensure the trigger has left your system. It's so hard not to test until then though isn't it! I did test in my previous cycles (because I am a control freak and really impatient!) Cycle 1 was negative and I kept testing and it remained BFN and cycle 2 was BFP 8dp5dt (13 days post) and it was the faintest little line that got stronger each day. Everyone is different, and there's no right way to do it, but like you say, good to know the trigger can affect the result if you test too early. Best of luck on Thursday lovely, my fingers are crossed for you! 🍀🤞🍀🤞 xxx

[silverlini]

Me! I’m 5dp5dt and slowing going insane! I thought I would handle it much better this time round but nope! It’s horrible! I haven’t had many symptoms apart from today had some cramps like period cramps which makes me nervous that AF is on its way! However I felt this last time and got a BFP so I guess it can go either way!

I’m trying to have a general healthy diet and I’m doing a walk a day (half hour or so)xx

[Kat9lives in reply to silverlini]

It's not over until it's over! I've also had AF like cramps today, but milder and on one side. Yesterday I had a weird pulling sensation but it could be the pessaries. It's just torture isn't it!! Are you at work during your 2ww? I need distractions as I'm mainly off! 🙈 Best of luck lovely 🍀🤞🍀🤞 xx

[silverlini in reply to Kat9lives]

Torture indeed!! I had weds thurs and fri off last week but have gone back to work today. I hope it goes fast but I’m so distracted! I keep googling things! Oh make sure you get things to do! Sitting at home will make you go crazy! Best of luck to you too 😘🤞🏼xx

[Shirazlover2013]

Hi kat9lives, my 1st ever transfer was Friday last week so I think that makes me 3dp5dt. My test day is 4th March. I was doing ok on the weekend but have started today to really wobble. The anxiety is terrible. I’m working throughout to keep me distracted but the mind just can’t keep away.

I am not trying to do anything different to normal as my diet is roughly ok and I’m already doing the prenatal vitamins. I’m not doing any strenuous exercise which would normally be a good stress reliever for me.

Let’s hope the time passes smoothly and quickly!!

[kirstyblue]

Wishing you the best of luck! Xx

[Kat9lives]

Aww Shirazlover2013 , it's not easy. Have you got anyone you can talk to about things to help? Roll on the OTD! Best of luck lovely!

[Kat9lives]

Feel like I'm going crazy... Had fewer symptoms today... Mild cramps only and a searing headache that is prob down to meds/not enough water... Argh... So tough! I feel like I'm not having much symptoms... Trying not to let the 2ww crazies set in! I'm only 5dp5dt and OTD is 12dp5dt. Give me strength! 🙈🤞😆🍀😬🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞 X

[Pickles85 in reply to Kat9lives]

Been the longest 5 days for me! I’ve got no symptoms and am feeling completely normal! Xx

[Kat9lives in reply to Pickles85]

Aww it's so hard isn't it... What do they/don't the symptoms mean!! Keep the faith... Positive vibes 😁🤞🍀🤞🍀 xx
