2WW, here we go again

[Kitcat12]

Who's with me? 2dp5dFET (that's a lot of letters 😂) feeling as exhausted as ever and sick as a pig from the awful progesterone. Thought I'd be a lot calmer having been through a 2WW before but I'm just as neurotic as last time 🤷🏽‍♀️ Some things never change! Everyone in the 2WW, when are you testing?

[Starsandsunbeams]

I'm with you. FET yesterday. Had post transfer accupuncture this avo after work and putting my feet up now. I think it'll be another long 2 weeks, I didn't test at all last time, waited until we went to the clinic. I'm debating whether to test early or not this time... X

[Kitcat12 in reply to Starsandsunbeams]

It's the longest 2 weeks of all time isn't it?! You did so well to hold off testing, I caved at 10dpt last time. Going to try and hold off until at least next Friday (we'll see!) x

[Starsandsunbeams in reply to Kitcat12]

What is your official test date then? Mine is the 28th, day after bank holiday weekend. X

[Kitcat12 in reply to Starsandsunbeams]

Mine is 27th, but my clinic doesn't do bloods, only HPT x

[Drives in reply to Kitcat12]

Snap mine is 27th too 😬

[Kitcat12 in reply to Drives]

Eeep, bloods or HPT?

[Drives in reply to Kitcat12]

Just home test for me. So glad it's bank holiday 🙈

[Kitcat12 in reply to Drives]

I'm off work for the week as I'm a teacher so if it's negative I'll have a week to get my head round it. You have one or two on board?

[Drives in reply to Kitcat12]

I just want to stay in this little bubble of hope 😍

This is my first cycle so not sure how I'm going to feel really and trying not to overthink it too much either way...one day at a time. That's what's getting me through now.

I have just the one grade 1 on board 🤞

[Kitcat12 in reply to Drives]

That's a good attitude, trying not to overthink it! Anything you feel can be caused by the pessaries so you never know until test day anyway 🤷🏽‍♀️All the very best of luck to you x

[Drives in reply to Kitcat12]

Exactly. I keep trying to remind myself that 😉

Good luck to you too lovely. All the best x x x

[Starsandsunbeams in reply to Kitcat12]

I'm a teacher too and thought the exact same thing- time to process results will be good, whichever way it goes 😊

[Starsandsunbeams in reply to Kitcat12]

Mine is only HPT too x

[Kitcat12 in reply to Starsandsunbeams]

At least with that there's less time to wait for results x

[gemmy999]

I’m having my transfer tomo. 4th fresh cycle. It never gets easier. Already dreading the 2ww and the wait between EC and ET has been bad enough 🥵 wishing you lots of luck. Hope you’ve got nice things planned xx

[Kitcat12 in reply to gemmy999]

I agree, it hasn't been any easier, in fact I've had way more set backs this round than I did during my fresh cycle. I have zero plans for the 2WW unfortunately, work is crazy busy so hopefully that will pass the days quickly x

[Kitcat12 in reply to Kitcat12]

Also, good luck for tomorrow!!

[gemmy999 in reply to Kitcat12]

Thank you. I’m sure work will make the time go quickly 🤞🏻 xx

[Shirazlover2013]

I’m 2dp5dt from my 2nd fresh cycle (nothing in the freezer again) so cheers to the 2ww!! My OTD is Friday next week, bloods for me. I didn’t test last time either, wonder if I’ll make it this time.... I kind of prefer being in my little bubble of hope. Baby dust to all of us xxx

[Kitcat12 in reply to Shirazlover2013]

I'm planning on testing next Friday as well. All the best of luck x

[Emmaxxx]

Hey Hun. Although I am not yet on 2ww I will be hopefully in a few weeks. That will be 3rd 2ww and I agree with gemmy999 It never gets easier. In fact I think it gets worse. Why can’t the 2ww pessaries make you extremely happy and positive instead of sick and bloated?? Good luck everyone on their 2ww xxx

[Kitcat12 in reply to Emmaxxx]

The pessaries are the worst!! I detest them. I'm only 2dpt and I'm already feeling sick 😞

[Emmaxxx in reply to Kitcat12]

Oh hun I know. Last time round I switched to the back passage. I did feel a bit better. Maybe it’s worth a go?? Xx

[Kitcat12 in reply to Emmaxxx]

Clinic told me front only 🤔 wonder why that is?!

[Emmaxxx in reply to Kitcat12]

Ohhhhh that’s strange. Xx

[M1313 in reply to Emmaxxx]

My clinic have told me to use the pessaries up the back passage. Apparently they absorption is better. It’s defiantly easier. Less mess xxxx

[Kitcat12 in reply to M1313]

How strange that we've both had different advice x

[gemmy999 in reply to Kitcat12]

I’ve gone onto injections this time but I’m still bloated and feel sick 🤢 x

[Kitcat12 in reply to gemmy999]

😞 there's no way round it I don't think

[LittlestBob]

Me! 🙋‍♀️ My first 2ww started today. I had a frozen transfer this afternoon and I know I’m going to go slightly mad during this wait. Good luck everyone xx

[Kitcat12 in reply to LittlestBob]

Oh it is definitely enough to make you mad! What did you transfer? 1 or 2? x

[LittlestBob in reply to Kitcat12]

Just 1. We have 1 more frozen but fingers crossed this one sticks. What about you? I’m trying to make sure that I have something on everyday to take my mind off it but will be so hard! Xx

[Kitcat12 in reply to LittlestBob]

I tried to be busy last time but it didn't really make much difference. It's pretty unbearable either way 🤷🏽‍♀️ I have had 2 day 5 frozen blasts transferred x

[Lyn84]

Im testing 27th im going to try and be good and not test sooner

[Katyg16]

I’m with you! I’m testing this Wednesday. I’m almost past wanting to test though. It’s our last chance, and right now I have hope, come Wednesday il know the answer and I’m not ready for a bfn.

[Kitcat12 in reply to Katyg16]

It's intense! We put so much stake in to these treatments. I'll keep everything crossed for you x

[Kitcat12 in reply to Kitcat12]

I hope you got the result you wanted today xx

[M1313]

I’m with you. Had my FET on the 15th. Test date on the 26th. Then appointment in the clinic on the 27th. I tested early last time. I’m going to try and no test until my official date this time. The 2WW is awful. However I’m feeling a little calmer with my frozen transfer than with my fresh xxx

[Kitcat12 in reply to M1313]

That's good! Calm is what you want to be. I'm a stresser and find it impossible to stay calm x

[M1313 in reply to Kitcat12]

Have you tried the ivf relaxation app ?? It’s pretty good for chilling you out for 10 mins at a time xxx

[Kitcat12 in reply to M1313]

That sounds interesting, I'll have a look at that. Thanks x

[M1313 in reply to Kitcat12]

It’s called mindful IVF xx

[Kiedy84]

Hi, I am 4 dp 5dt. First time ever. On reflection I now think waiting for phone calls with updates from the clinic was the worst. Now I am just trying to chill and enjoy the fact I got this far. Sadly we have lost 6 embroys between day 3 and 5 so we have no back up.

I have tested out my trigger shot 2 days ago and I test every morning now hoping for a faint line🤞 I know it's stupid but I really enjoyed testing out the trigger shot and seeing all those positive pregnancy tests😂 good luck hun xx

[Kitcat12 in reply to Kiedy84]

I thought about starting testing really early this time as I had no trigger (frozen cycle) but decided I couldn't deal with the disappointment of seeing loads of bfns x

[Kitcat12 in reply to Kitcat12]

Good luck to you as well lovely x

[FirstTimerICSI]

I’m testing on the 28th. I think I’d be too scared to do a HPT in advance as like Drives, I’m in my little bubble of hope at the moment. My doc didn’t say anything about pessary side effects... is there anything I should know? I’m still bloated but I figured that was left overs from the hormones and EC. EC pain only subsiding today, 5 days later. I presume that’s normal 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good luck to everyone, keep smiling as happy hormones help xx

[Kitcat12 in reply to FirstTimerICSI]

I find the pessaries the worst for side effects. Bloating, awful smelly farts (I know that's disgusting), nausea, sore boobs. Basically all the pregnancy symptoms so it's impossible to tell if the treatments worked or it's just pessary effects x

[Kitcat12]

Don't know if anyone else gets this, I've started with a sore throat and cough like the beginnings of a cold 😞 had the exact same thing last 2WW. Wonder if it's a coincidence. I read somewhere that a cold can happen when your body lowers its immunity to accept the embryo. Anybody else had this?

[Starsandsunbeams in reply to Kitcat12]

I've just read this- I weirdly had exactly the same, but it was 3 days prior to FET I had sore throat and cough. Had FET then, as they said it would be fine and the cough has lingered a bit. I've read it can be a side effect of progesterone! Who knew... bloating and wind are my other two big side effects! Yucky! X

[Kitcat12 in reply to Starsandsunbeams]

I've got the wind big time! And it stinks 😂😳 so bad!!

[Starsandsunbeams in reply to Kitcat12]

Haha! 🤭😷😂

[Hidden in reply to Kitcat12]

Last FET I had a high fever (38.6°C) 3dp5dt without any other symptoms apart from the side effects of the pessaries (nausea, bloating, sore boobs). I was so worried that I went to the ER. They did some examens but they coudn't find anything. Doctor said progesterone can raise the temperature but max. 38°C. It last only 1 day. After the 2WW I had a BFP but it ended with a mc at 7 weeks.

All the very best of luck for u!!!

[Kitty230515]

I’m in the 2WW, it’s my 1st one. My test is Monday. The last few days have been the hardest of all. I’m so mixed with emotions. But my family are visiting this weekend, so I’m hoping it will act as a distraction for me. Xx

[Kitcat12 in reply to Kitty230515]

You're almost there! Just a few more days to get through, all the very best of luck for Monday x

[Elsey82]

Hi kitcat12 I’m 5dp5dFET and I’m nervous. This is my 3rd transfer and I’m thinking of not testing at all this time .... if I can hold off! My HCG check is booked in Wednesday 9dpt. Fingers crossed for a positive outcome for us both! Sending love xx

[Kitcat12 in reply to Elsey82]

That's going to take some real restraint to not test at all! How do you feel? I'll keep everything crossed for good news on Wednesday x

[Hidden]

Hi Kitcat, not in the 2ww club yet as several more weeks to go but just wanted to wish you the very best of the. The 2ww wait never gets any easier!! Xx

[Kitcat12 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you lovely, you're right there! The things we'll put ourselves through...

[Hidden in reply to Kitcat12]

I know we must be mad haha, sometimes I don't know where we keep getting our strength from but hopefully will all be worth it...good luck huni x

[Kitcat12 in reply to Hidden]

I'd do it a million times if it gets us our baby ❤️

[Hidden in reply to Kitcat12]

Just sorted typo in last message...should have said best of luck,apologies my head frazzled but yours probably is too!!

[KriSho]

Just wanted to wish you all good luck 🤞

[Kitcat12 in reply to KriSho]

Thanks lovely 😀

[Jen_jen]

The two week wait is such a struggle. Wishing you all the best of luck and take it easy xx 🤞🏼💕 xx

[Kitcat12 in reply to Jen_jen]

Thank you! Will try 🙈

[Kitcat12]

Evening ladies. How's everyone doing with their 2WW? I'm just not feeling positive this cycle, gut instinct tells me it hasn't worked. I hope I'm wrong!

[Lyn84]

I felt positive last week this week especially last couple of days felt negative the cramping is wrecking my head

[Kitcat12 in reply to Lyn84]

Same here been cramping loads this last 2 days 😞

[Lyn84]

Ive read so many posts where its meant good and bad it makes it even harder to know what to think

[Kitcat12 in reply to Lyn84]

That's it, I keep comparing this time to last time and I know that's not a good idea as I know each time can be completely different x

[Lyn84 in reply to Kitcat12]

The closer i get the more im checking for blood when i go to toilet 🙈

[Kitcat12 in reply to Lyn84]

I've started doing this today as it was 8dpt last time when I got implantation bleeding, no sign of it this time 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Starsandsunbeams]

I'm more relaxed this cycle than in my fresh cycle 😊 but I really have no idea though! Had nothing until yesterday then some mild cramping in the evening, had a little again this evening. Just haven't got a clue! Xx

[Kitcat12 in reply to Starsandsunbeams]

It's scary isn't it, just not knowing! It drives me mad x
