I feel like i’m going crazy. One minute I think i’m definitely pregnant the next minute I think i’m definitely not. I had fairly bad cramping on day 7 and have had a few twinges over the last couple of days. I keep on waiting to see blood but so far nothing, which i keep telling myself is a good sign. Although also panicking that I haven’t had an implantation bleed yet.

I keep questioning whether I should test early but at the same time I don’t want to. I need to keep myself as occupied as possible to help the days pass. Friday is OTD. What have you guys done to pass the time? And what’s worked best?

Thanks!! This 2ww is just so up and down.

The 2WW sends you crazy that’s for sure!!🤪 Personally I didn’t test earlier as I wanted to keep The hope alive for as long as possible! I found the Mindful IVF app really helped me relax 💆🏻‍♀️

Wishing you all the luck in the world for OTD💫💞🙏🏼🤞🏼xxxx

It’s the hardest thing ever and makes you mad for sure!! I’ve always held out until OTD because I just never wanted that what if what if thought pattern of over analysing a million pregnancy tests x number of days before or trying to work out whether i’d still have hcg in my system

from the trigger etc etc. I just want to know for certain on the day I’d been advised to wait to whether or not i’m pregnant (so far no bfp....). I find it easier to just forget about what’s happening and know that I can focus on other stuff until OTD rather than spending the lead up overthinking or overanalysing - but that’s just me and it’s such a personal thing as to how you manage anxiety best.

I try to keep myself busy doing nice things, seeing friends, date nights etc so nothing too strenuous because if I start overbooking my life then that makes my anxiety flare up. I read a lot, journal, binge on netflix, anything which is a useful distraction.

I also followed a tip from the BFN podcast ladies about making a list of what i’d do if it was a bfn vs a bfp - literally down to who I would tell or what wine I would drink to commiserate 😂 I found that helped get some practical things down on paper and out of my head for either outcome so I knew that it was already considered and then I didn’t have to thing about it anymore until I knew for certain one way or another. It made me feel like i’d actually put a plan in place whatever the outcome rather than it taking me by surprise (either way!) and then thinking wtf do i do next!

It’s such a hard time as there is literally nothing you can do to change the outcome at this stage and I find the waiting an absolutely killer! Good luck and keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏻✨

Thanks. That’s some great advice. I find writing things down helpful so I can imagine this will be good for me. Friday can’t come soon enough lol!

I tested 3 days early and was feeling like you like all the signs there and no bleeding. Never tested early before but as going to be alone on OTD (tomorrow) as my partner back at work I wanted to have good idea. It was a BFN. Couldn’t help but test again yesterday & today and yes have official driven myself mad. My clinic told me 1-2 days early is fine but late implantation can happen so that is why they recommend 15 days.

Worst thing have ever done so please please wait until Friday.

I will keep everything crossed for you 🤞🏼 xx

Good luck for tomorrow!! I hope you get your BFP. I keep on telling myself I must not test early. Not long now so hopefully I can hold out. I think you’re right, doing an early test can just bring up more questions than it answers.

Fingers crossed for you for tomorrow 🤞

I wouldn't test earlier just to avoid false results that may lead to false hope. I didn't do any home tests but the only hcg. I didn't even expect to see the positive so you can imagine what excited I was after I saw a positive result! Friday is very soon so I wish you the best result ever! I don't know why but I feel somehow that you will get bfp)) Keeping everything crossed for you!

[Boomer89 in reply to SunnyDream]

Thanks. I don’t have as much of an urge to test early anymore so definitely waiting until Friday. 🤞

The 2ww def makes you crazy. I tried to spend time visiting friends and family when I could to pass some time.

The only symptoms I had were pains and I've just got my BFP.. Wishing you the best of luck xo

I’m hoping my cramping is a good sign. But that’s all I’ve had so far. Congratulations on your BFP!! You must be so happy!
