Relaxation / surviving the 2WW suggestions 😊

[Solly-44]

Hi everyone,

Hope you’re all enjoying this glorious sunshine! ☀️

I’m 10dp5dt and despite resisting the urge to test early this time, the nerves have kicked in a bit!

I had plans to get out and about as much as possible - long walks, pub lunches, anything to get some fresh air and take my mind of things. Unfortunately Ive been sick as a dog so have hardly left the house 😂🤦‍♀️

Can anyone recommend any good ivf podcasts, meditation apps, etc to see me through? Xx

Oh that’s rubbish you’ve been poorly! Can you still sit in the garden for some fresh air?

There is a podcast called Big Fat Negative which is great - lots on there.

I would be testing by now! You’d be fine to test day 10! Well done if you can manage to hold out though! When’s your OTD? I’m on day 3 of the 2ww x

[Solly-44 in reply to Scarlett13]

Ooh thanks I’ll give it a listen.

I know 😂😂 weirdly I thought I’d really struggle but actually I’m quite happy living in ignorance right now. My beta is Thursday so a whole 14 days 😬 I’m going to test Wednesday. How’s your 2ww going so far? Xx

[Scarlett13 in reply to Solly-44]

I’m stressed about progesterone levels as they were so low on day of transfer so I was swapped from lubion to prontogest and my retest is tomorrow and I’ll get the results Tuesday so I can’t relax!!!! My OTD is day 13 but I always test around day 8 to 10 away from work! Good luck xxxx

Oh I bet. Glad you managed to sort out a retest in the end 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I may still cave before Wednesday 😂 xx

I have no recommendations about podcasts, some while ago, I was reading here about a netflix movie "one more shot" about a film-maker couple documenting their infertility IVF journey. I bitterly cried the whole time, but I felt so good afterwards.

I am also during my 2ww period due today, so I know how you feel. Everybody is different, but what I learned during my last 13 2ww, just try to live your live as normally as you can. I know this is a terrible recommendation

Good luck to you xx

[Solly-44 in reply to sarahharas]

I saw that after reading about it on here too, wasn’t it brilliant??

Haha, not a terrible recommendation at all, quite a good one actually 😊 good luck with yours, when will you test if your period doesn’t arrive today? 🤞🤞🤞 x

[sarahharas in reply to Solly-44]

Honestly, I dont know, I dont want to test because I can handly the anxiety and the stress for not knowing, and I can handle blood, but I cannot handle olding a BFN in my hands. I never thought about when to test, because AF announced itsself always with spotting the day before so I always knew I am out. So I am just waiting. This is my last medicated cycle and I will start IVF in August/September, I just dont have any hope left, so I am 100% sure that my period arrives.

[Solly-44 in reply to sarahharas]

It’s so hard, I know exactly what you mean. Hoping this is your month! Good luck x

What about tidying out some cupboards and going out to do things you enjoy to keep your mind off it?
