I’m 4 days into the 2Ww of IVF round 2. We had a much better outcome this time, 4AA blastocyst transferred and a 3A blastocyst frozen and am in a much better place emotionally after our first attempt.
I’m only 4 days after transfer and am finding myself getting anxious, I’m not sleeping which I know is progesterone induced but probably a little anxiety too, I’m not having any symptoms apart from some cramping from egg collection/embryo transfer, boobs are a bit sensitive, trying not to symptom spot but can’t help googling to try and reassure myself that this is all “normal”
Does anyone else do this or am I going crazy?! 🙈 x

Thank you - how exciting! Fingers crossed for a BFP for both of us 😁 so tempted to test but I don’t want to be disappointed 😳 I just hate that these symptoms can all be pre period, progesterone and/or a hint of a pregnancy and there’s no way of knowing until you can test - trying to hold out until day 14 but I’ve seen so many people test from day 4/5 and get a positive that I just want it to be me 🤞🙏🏻
Hope everything goes well with your transfer lovely xx
Really try to hold out. That trigger is still in your system for a while x
Hey Sarah, I'm with you. Had my transfer on Friday, it's my 3rd 2ww so haven't been googling as much this time round but definitely very conscious of every little twinge but it's so hard knowing what is a symptom and what are side effects of the meds!! The last couple of times I was constantly on Google so your not on your own!! Iknow I'm definitely not testing early this time though..it made so anxious last time round!
Thanks Hidden glad I’m not the only one, I swore to myself I wouldn’t google or symptom spot but this cycle is so different from my first and I’m so hopeful for this embryo that I’m scared it’s not working and I’ve no way of knowing, I just need to know once and for all sooner rather than later. I’ve got a list of things to do and projects over the next 2 weeks and some mindfulness apps I’m using but I think I’m going to get out the house today, go get some retail therapy, maybe some acupuncture and I’ve arranged a chat with my therapist for later this morning so am hoping that will help but I feel so much better already knowing I’m not alone I’m feeling like this, thank you 😊 x
Your welcome, it's just so hard not being able to control what's going on in there!! I'm debating whether to go out but the weather is rubbish,of all things I've got to buy new born boy wrapping paper, both my sis in laws due very soon with boys and I bought their presents before transfer so thought I'd wrap before OTD as not sure how I will cope with it if I get a BFN, I had a MMC last Aug and should have been due also first week in April so really trying to keep my anxiety under control!! Xx
Yeah the weather is pretty miserable, I think I have a bit of cabin fever and we have no food in so need to venture out 😏
Must be a trying time for you, hope it doesn't heighten your anxiety too much, my brother got married the weekend of my due date had my first cycle been successful, I was an emotional wreck 😭😭😭 xx
Hey hun, I'm 3dpt and yep I'm going bonkers already! This is my 3rd 2ww so you would think I'd be a pro but nah! 🙃 still googling like an idiot, have ordered some FRERs online to test next week before OTD I just hope I dont cave and do 1 early as I know it just sends me mad! I'm not really feeling anything and I've just got a feeling it hasnt worked. I know I'm suppose to be positive but I've never been one to fake it. Arrrgh just gotta wait it out I guess. Sending you clouds and clouds of baby dust!! 🤞🙏🍀💕 xxx
Thank you Niki_B this really is torture 🙈 I started off well and thought i had it all together and was being positive but at the same time being mindful that this also may not work 😭 my first cycle I was cramping by now and I was devastated knowing it hadn’t worked just waiting for my period to arrive which didn’t thanks to the progesterone 😭😭😭 and I was a mess and this time I just had some discomfort but feeling a lot more “normal” and I’ve seen so many stories where this has been good but still seen stories where it’s not been good and I’ve had a total meltdown this morning 😭😭😭😭😭 most likely hormones and lack of sleep and now I’m freaking out that all this anxiety can affect implantation which has just made me feel worse 🙈 I’m a bit more calm now and just need to get out the house, get some retail therapy and distract myself
Sending lots of baby dust to you and all the positive vibes for your BFP xxx
It is definately torture! Yes I started off positive but that only lasted till 2dpt lol. I've just got s feeling it hasnt worked... again 😞 I was only given a 30% chance so odds were against me from the start. My last transfer I had AF like pains the whole time on and off so I took it as a good sign as alot of women say cramps is what they had before BFP but I'm guessing for me it was just my ovaries and stuff calming down after egg collection and injections. But yeah I'm not feeling anything. I guess we just have to wait it out. I wish you so much luck hun and hope you get your BFP! 🤞🍀🙏💕 xxx
Thanks lovely you too! 🤞🙏🏻🤞🙏🏻 I managed to get an acupuncture session this afternoon so am a bit more chilled hopefully will get some sleep tonight and then tomorrow is another day 🤞 xxx
I am 3 days into the 2WW and it’s going very slowly!
I want to try and do something to help this work but there’s nothing I can do! I’m trying to keep busy all the time to keep my mind occupied, but the thoughts are always there!!
I had really sore boobs before the transfer anyway so I can’t use that as a symptom but I feel nothing! Actually I feel back to normal- like before I started this whole process!
Good luck to you!! Fingers crossed for us all!!! 🤞🤞🤞 xx
CJones40 ive had some cramping but it was from egg collection and embryo transfer that seems to have settled, the cramping comes and goes but it’s not the usual pre period cramping my pelvic area just feels full and there’s the odd twinge and pulling and my skinny jeans don’t fit already so I’m hoping this is a good sign 🤞🙏🏻 I prepared myself as best I could knowing what to expect but when it happens and you’re living it time just stands still and you’re on high alert for every twinge and looking for any sign of blood every visit to the toilet 🙈 will be glad when the two weeks are up and then I’ll know for sure, I want to test as soon as I can but I also want to stay in this pupo bubble as long as possible 🙏🏻😥
This is my first 2WW and I’ve been thinking a lot about if I should test a few days early or not. I think I would but I know my husband will be quite good at sticking to the date they gave us!! 🙈🙈 we’ll have to wait and see how it goes! Xx
Please don’t take too much notice of looking out for symptoms. I know it’s really difficult though. I had some cramping at 7dp5dt but nothing apart from that. I’m now 20 weeks and have got to this stage without any sicknesses etc at all so everyone is different.
Thanks kirstyblue i had a total meltdown today convinced I was getting my period but the cramps are coming and going and no sign of spotting or bleeding so taking that as a good sign 🤞🙏🏻 Congrats on your pregnancy hope it’s going well 😁 xx
