Two week wait 😐

[Southeast28]

Anyone got any tips for getting through the 2ww without climbing the walls?! It’s only been 4 days, but I’m doing all the things I shouldn’t....googling everything and questioning everything. It seems such a long way off to OTD....

[DanniiJean]

Same here...climbing the walls! Transfer was Friday so today is day 2 or is it classed as day 3? I’m googling all the time. Have you has any symptoms?

[Southeast28 in reply to DanniiJean]

Ours was wednesday so Iv counted day 1 as Thursday...cause our 14th day will be our test day. I’m not really sure to be honest, I’m really uncomfortable around my stomach struggling to bend etc but I know that’s down to the injections as they’ve been quite painful.

My boobs seem quite heavy but they always are around my period so I really don’t know.

What about you?? Xx

[DanniiJean in reply to Southeast28]

In that case I’m on day 2 today. Sorry you have been in pain with injections. I stopped mine over a week ago so not feeling too bad. Terrible lower back ache but that’s it. Think that might be due to tensing my body during transfer, they made me what there for a while it felt. When your test day? Mine is 24th which is 2 days earlier, think this is because it was FET?? 🤷‍♀️

[Southeast28 in reply to DanniiJean]

Ohh mines also 24th...we had 2 3 day embryos transferred, guessing you had a 5 day? As if our test days are the same! Do you think you’ll hold off until then?

[DanniiJean in reply to Southeast28]

Omg 😮 same day test...Yeah, had 1 5 day transferred, none left to re freeze out of 4. Bit surprised because day 2 they said 3 out of 4 were looking good, yet by day 5 only one! Im not sure I can wait that long, you?

[Southeast28 in reply to DanniiJean]

Sorry to hear that, we ended up with just the 2 being frozen on day 3, because we had lost so many they didn’t want to risk it so froze those but recommended transferring both back. I didn’t even realise they could re freeze?!

Same really, my husbands wants us to wait until 24th...but I feel it’s easier for him to take his mind off things cause he’s not got the physical side of it!’

[DanniiJean in reply to Southeast28]

Omg...more chance of twins with the 2? This wait is awful and I’m only 2 days in. I’m so excited in case it works but so scared at the same time. Such a mix of emotions, the not knowing is awful.

I agree my other half thinks the same. I go back to work on the Tuesday so I would have liked to do it on the Monday (2 days early) because I am not at work that day. Getting up on the Wednesday and having to go to work if it’s negative is not something I would want to face.

[Southeast28 in reply to DanniiJean]

Yeah there is a higher chance, but neither of the embryos were that great quality hence why they said to put both back.

Yeah I agree with you completely about the mix of emotions.

I know what you mean about testing and going into work, that’s why I’m thinking over the easter weekend potentially just to prepare myself abit...

Literally no tips, am 6 days past 5 day transfer and it's going sooooo slowly! Test date is 21st. Not feeling much. Side boob pain (but I get that when progesterone rises after ovulation every month anyway so not new). Am tired and I'm bloated but think it's just the nasty Cyclogest side effects to be honest. Horrible stuff!

The 2 WW is literally the worst thing in the world! Hope it gets easier for you ladies x

[Southeast28 in reply to CAS2]

Keeping everything crossed for you xxxx

Rest. Netflix. Talk. Cinema. Walk. Read. Get off this network and try thinking of other things. Write. Good luck I have been in the two weeks wait four times b4! It does get easier xx

[Southeast28 in reply to Wtfc]

Maybe this was exactly what I needed to hear....! Thanks so much xxx

[Katbaby19 in reply to Southeast28]

Good luck! I'm starting round 2 tomorrow and the last 2 week wait wasn't nice at all, it goes so slow! I tried to meet up with friends every couple of days and had simple things planned to take my mind off it and make the days go in faster! Netflix is a great thing too!x

[Wtfc in reply to Southeast28]

Oh and I found meditation really helpful. I got an app called calm and I found it fabulous. It became a great addition to my life

[Leigh2244]

Hi ladies, yep the 2ww is the worst this is my 3rd time. 1st fresh attempt I got a bfp however this ended up with a miscarriage at just under 12 weeks 😢 2nd attempt frozen cycle and a bfn

I am now in the 2ww again had egg transfer on Saturday. However my embryos didn’t make it to blastocyst stage. Trying to stay positive but it is so hard x

[Beacon_of_hope]

Hi Ladies, I’m also in the 2WW, had my transfer on Friday but probably out of all of you my odds are pretty poor. We only had 1 to transfer so they did it on day 2 and they said it was quite highly fragmented so that makes our odds even worse. I really wish they hadn’t told us that because I’ve pretty much resigned myself to the fact that it’s failed. I’m normally the most positive person you could meet always glass half full kinda person but I just think our odds are so poor I’m trying to prepare myself for the negative result.

I’m working today as o have to get a report done but I’ve got the rest of the week off and then we’re are actually off on holidays on Thursday. I know there’s probably mixed views about flying but if I was t going away I don’t know how I’d cope with this wait it’s so torturous.

Our test date is 26th so best of luck to all you ladies, we’ve got this far so just the last hurdle to go 🍀🍀🍀

Hello!

I'm currently 5 days into the dreaded 2WW. This is our first cycle.

Other than the day after transfer, I've tried to plan something into each day to break the day up - I work in a school so I'm off until next week.

So far I've met colleagues for dinner, took my nephews to the arcades, been to a farm (avoided the lambs) and today we're going for a drive. I've also watched a couple of box sets.

I've still found it really hard to distract myself. IVF seems to be on my mind all the time. All the normal stuff I would do to relax is out the window - hot baths, wine, chocolate...

I go back to work on my test day, which is a week tomorrow. I'm considering ringing in sick either way (unless it's become obvious before then).

Good luck with your wait and the outcome.

[Southeast28 in reply to ScanNoirFan]

I Know exactly what you mean about all the things you normally distract yourself with, wine bath and chocs-ditto!!

Also trying to play things for various days to keep having days to work towards.

Wishing you lots of luck xxx

[Babypleasexx]

Oh god it’s so hard ! This is my 3rd 😩 I’m 3dp5dt! I’ve just chilled, done some shopping, and I’ve decided to work this time as I can’t afford not to, I’m self employed. I am taking it easy but I do think it will take my mind off things more. Good luck I hope it goes quick and you get a positive x

[Hidden]

It's an emotional roller coaster but you got this 💪💪💪I've had 7 lots of 2ww so know exactly how you feeling. I liked to give myself a to do list every day even if it was only small stuff/life admin but something else to concentrate on. The more 2ww I done the less I concentrated on symptoms. I could say try relax but it's bloody hard and your probably feeling every twinge your body makes just now. You will get there and I keep my fingers crossed for you on your OTD xcx

[Spshope]

I’m 3dp5dt in a FET (3rd ivf try) - never been pregnant. Totally panicked as I am feeling absolutely nothing. No cramps or twinges, no implantation bleeding just normal. I’ve been super lazy but I think that’s the high doses of progesterone I’m on
