Tomorrow is our official OTD and I am absolutely terrified to do the test! I have had a fair few symptoms but Iโm on a high dose of the drugs so it may well be the medications Iโm on.
Iโm working from home tomorrow but I have got a number of deadlines to meet so Iโve decided Iโm going to take a sample of my wee first thing and then use that and โfreshโ wee to test later in the day!
We have no Frosties available so it will be back to square one if it hasnโt worked which fills me with dread as itโs so hard to keep taking time off work. I havenโt told my boss yet but may need to discuss with him going forward I think.
Any advice on coping with a negative result? I feel so grateful to get this far but itโs so hard not to get your hopes up isnโt it?
Thank you so much for all your thoughtful, kind and fab advice. Youโre all amazingly strong and inspirational women. xxx ๐ช๐๐ค๐๐

We all get our hopes up itโs all we have going forward on this shit roller coaster is hope and unfortunately with a negative the only thing we can do is pick ourselves up and go again (shit advise I know cause I cried for two week my tear ducts have dried up so Iโve officially stopped crying now ๐๐ but look positive thinking of course it will be a bfp Iโm rooting for you and I look forward to congratulating you tomorrow darling ๐ฅฐ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
Thanks lovely for your kind message. Iโm so sorry about your recent result. Sending you big hugs and keeping my fingers and toes crossed for your next cycle. ๐ค๐๐คThank you for all your thoughtful messages and support, particularly when you have been going through such a tough time. ๐คโค๏ธ๐ค๐๐๐ชxxx
I just thrive on other peopleโs bfp because it give me hope that they soldiered on and reaped there reward and I will soldier on too till we also have our beautiful baby too good luck today Iโm really really feeling positive for ya xxx ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
Wishing you the very best of luck, I always waited till OTD or day before as I couldnโt handle the torture of testing every day.
Trust me am only 3dpt & already convinced I have symptoms ๐. It is a crazy 2ww and I always think first week takes ages then 2nd speeds up and you almost donโt want to do the test. Thatโs a shame you have deadlines with work, so understand why you would wait.
All I can say is when I thought it Defo hadnโt worked it was a BFP and the time I was convinced it had was a BFN.
What will be will be am praying you get the news you greatly deserve ๐๐ป
Hello, thank you for your kind message. Yes, that what I have felt like. I have been so tempted to test early but then worried if I did that I would be causing unnecessary upset if it was negative.
I was exactly the same! I was convinced I said symptoms from early on! ๐ How are you feeling?
Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you. When is your OTD? I hope the 2ww goes quickly for you! xxx ๐๐ค๐
Thank you so much Cici. Wishing you all the best with your journey too. xx
Wishing you the very best of luck for a positive result.
The only way I have picked myself up from a negative is by starting to plan my next transfer/cycle as it gives me something to focus on but sending positive vibes xx
Thanks so much for your kind message Claire, particularly when youโre going through such a tough time. So sorry to read your recent news, sendings you lots of hugs! Wishing you lots of positive vibes for your next cycle. xx ๐ค๐โค๏ธ
Ups & downs! Just reading what others have said & im the same. I go from being really positive to omg this definitely hasnโt worked ๐๐ it really does play with your mind!! I really hope you get your happy ending tomorrow๐ Iโm rooting for you๐ช๐ผ
How have you found it? Iโm dreading Monday ๐xxx
I have felt exactly the same! I go from being convinced Iโm pregnant and then waking up the next day thinking itโs definitely not worked! ๐ ๐คฆโโ๏ธThe first week went quite slowly but I have found this week has gone fairly quickly.
Sending lots of positive vibes and luck to you for Monday. ๐ค๐๐คIโm rooting for you too! ๐๐ค๐โค๏ธ xxx
All I would say Kat is its 50/50 so letโs focus on the positives of it being a BFP u have had some symptoms which sound like a good sign so focus on this. If it is a negative u will get thru it & u can deal with that once u know 4 sure but u may not even need to. I have everything crossed and am wishing u the very best of luck ๐คโบ๏ธ๐ xx
Hi Coral. Thank you so much for your kind message. Iโm so sorry to read your recent news, sending you big hugs. Wishing you all the best for your onward IVF journey. ๐โค๏ธ๐xxx
Omg good luck Hun!!! I have everything crosses for you. Youโve done sooo well to wait and I hope so much that you get your BFP. Thinking of you lovely xxx
Hi hun Iโm just trying not to look for any symptoms.... Special that this time is different because is natural cycle so I donโt really know what is good sign and what not...us I only had fresh cycles.
My OTD is this Tuesday coming....another long 4 days ....๐ฌxx
Thinking of you today! Fingers crossed itโs a BFP but if not, try to remember the drs learn so much from each round so they should be able to improve your chances for next time. Remember to put yourself first, donโt be afraid to call in sick if you donโt feel up to meeting those deadlines. You are an ivf warrior but remember we are still only human so Whatever the results, give yourself some headspace to process the outcome.wishing you all the best xx
Thanks so much your thoughtful message. So pleased to see you got a BFP! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy. Thanks again for your support. xxx ๐๐โค๏ธ
I didnโt have any Frosties either so I get how youโre feeling.
I actually booked up to see a show the day after my OTD so that either way it would take my mind off things. But honestly the only way round it is time and in my case counselling.
However donโt think about anything like that yet! Sending positive thoughts x
