Day 7/14 on the 2WW....

[Kiers27]

Hey lovely ladies ..

Whilst I do feel really really lucky 🍀 to have made it this far in the cycle (especially at my age!!) I am going a little stir crazy with the 2WW!

A week today I will know and have the answer ... I’ve managed to stay away from tests up to now ... getting harder by the minute.

I started off feeling positive ... now I’m not so much ... I have cramps that feel like I’m about to come on 😑 and had some night sweats last night too ... (something that happens to me before I’m due on too!) ...

This is a really tough part emotionally on the cycle... and I’m still recovering really from the physical side ... #tired ...

Wow what a moany post .... !!

Looking for things to fill up my days with this weekend ... any Netflix recommendations? Or any advices welcomed ...

Happy Friday to all you lovely ladies out there xx

Hi Kiers27, It might reassure you to know that a few days before my period was due, I still had my usual symptoms, which typically indicate that my period is coming but it never actually came. I even had some bleeding which started the day I usually bleed which worried me at the time, but thankfully it was brief. It was like my body took time to change gears, so try not to worry if you are getting your usual symptoms because it may not mean the worst. Really hoping you get a positive result. x

[Kiers27 in reply to Tiddly1984]

Thanks Tiddly, that’s definitely reassuring to know.

Thanks for taking the time to message :)) it helps massively.

How are you feeling? Hope things are well for you

Xx

[Tiddly1984 in reply to Kiers27]

You’re welcome 😊 and not long to go now!

I’m struggling with nausea at the moment, but just hoping it’s an indication that all’s well. I’m grateful to be where I am and hope all works out for you too.

Keep us posted...x

[Kiers27 in reply to Tiddly1984]

Definitely will do ... thanks again xx

[mushy19]

Awe well done for staying away from the tests. I Can’t say I’ve done as well as you...🤣

I’m 9dpt and have tested every day since 4dpt and have become pretty addicted to seeing the line progression.

Fingers crossed you get your BFP next week x

[Kiers27 in reply to mushy19]

Thanks mushy .. congratulations on your line progression ... so exciting.

Is your actual test date Wednesday? Xx

[mushy19 in reply to Kiers27]

Yes Wednesday which will make it 14dpt😩🤦🏾‍♀️ this waiting has been so long and difficult. Xx

Hey hope all is well, I test on Sunday and I know how you feel it’s so frustrating but to be honest I found sitting watching TV worse, I have been out walking I even went yesterday and started Xmas shopping it got me out of the house and took my mind off things for a few hours which really helped. Good luck with it all xx

[Kiers27 in reply to emzall]

Thanks Emzall, think you are right.

Have scheduled a nice walk for the weekend so that will help ... I’ve been working full time too .. but it’s almost like that doesn’t help keep my mind off things!

Xmas shopping! Fab idea ... you are super organised

Good luck for your test on Sunday .. keep me posted with results, I will have everything crossed for you xx

[emzall in reply to Kiers27]

Yeah I work full time also but took the time off this time round as I worked my whole 2ww the last time and thought this time it was best to take it easy. It’s hard to keep yourself occupied I have been pulling out cupboards and cleaning, sorting clothes etc at the start it felt like the days were dragging in but thank god this week has gone a bit quicker. I really want to test tomorrow but my husband is very by the book 🙈 so I have to wait till Sunday. I will keep you updated good luck with the next few days wait xx

[Kiers27 in reply to emzall]

Thank you .. My OH is same lovely ... and I don’t want to let him down or go it alone secretly .. but it’s Uber hard!

If you tested tmw ... you would test again Sunday anyway right 🤣 ..

I wish you the very best of luck ...

hopefully you will keep me posted ..

I will be on my country walk that day :))

Xx

[emzall in reply to Kiers27]

Yeah I don’t want to do it on my own so I will just hold off till Sunday I’ve waited this long another day won’t do me any harm.

I will message u on Sunday and let you know either way xx

[Kiers27 in reply to emzall]

Please do 🙏🏼 🤞🏻 xx

[Kloulou83]

Hi there 👋🏼

I’m currently on day 5 of my 2ww. I test next Thursday. I’m going to try and hold off testing but the temptation is definitely there!

I firmly believe the 2ww is mentally one of the hardest parts of IVF.

Good luck with everything and keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏼 xx

[Halli23 in reply to Kloulou83]

I’m Day 5 too and OTD next Thursday... urgh, feels like forever away doesn’t it!! Definitely the hardest part x

[Kloulou83 in reply to Halli23]

It really does feel like forever away!

I’m incredibly lucky that I have twins from my third fresh round of ICSI and it does take the pressure off slightly but I’m still going insane!!

I’ll be thinking of you on Thursday. Wishing you lots and lots of luck. Xx

[Kiers27 in reply to Halli23]

Thanks Halli .. have you tested at all? Or in the past have you caved in and tested early?

Pretty much all I can think about 😬😳🤣🤣 xx

[Halli23 in reply to Kiers27]

Nope, not tested yet. Although I’m currently lying in bed waiting to get up for my FMU and really fighting the urge to do it. Sense would tell me not to ruin my weekend as if it’s BFN I’ll stay in bed and cry and have the hope that it was too early. NO IM NOT DOING IT!

Only ever tested early at 5DP5DT once and that’s because I had to go the hospital as I had done weird side effects from the drugs 🙈

I normally test the night before OTD so that hubby can be with me for a while afterwards x

[Kiers27 in reply to Kloulou83]

Thanks Kloulou... it was lovely reading your post just now and from 2 years ago too! 🥰

We are very close on our dates .. I’ve followed you as it would be great to hear how you are doing.

I was super positive but then that’s dropped off a bit now ... hopefully it will go faster over the weekend .. and then next week .. (who am I trying to kid 🤣🤣🤣)

Best of luck for Thursday ... did you transfer one or two? Xx

[Kloulou83 in reply to Kiers27]

Yes, the girls are 18 months now. We were very fortunate to have two embryos good enough to freeze after transferring two, so we thought we would go again 🙊

We only transferred one this time as it will lower our chance of twins again (although identicals are still a possibility 🤪) but our girls were two separate embryos.

I’m exactly the same as you. First few days I felt so positive and now I’m adamant it hasn’t worked. 😩🙈 It is enough to drive you insane!

I really hope the weekend does make it go faster for you and I will follow you as I would love to hear how you get on. I will be thinking of you and will have everything crossed for you. Xxxx

[Picalilli99]

Aww just wanted to say keep going you are doing great!! The 2WW is so bloody hard! Fingers crossed and wishing you luck for your OTD 🤞☘️ xxx

[Kiers27 in reply to Picalilli99]

Thanks lovely for your kind words ... best of luck for Monday for you .. everything crossed xx 🤞🏻

[Picalilli99 in reply to Kiers27]

Thank you xx

[Cinderella5]

Just wanted to wish you luck for OTD. 2ww is one of the hardest times to get through but you've made it half way....on the home stretch now.xx

[Kiers27 in reply to Cinderella5]

Thanks so much Cinderella, yes I’m learning that quickly now .. 🥺...but totally grateful that I got far enough through to have to experience it .. always grateful ..

You have been through a lot seeing your profile .. Will you begin on another journey? Xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to Kiers27]

We are doing an FET soon! Terrified, excited and nervous all at the same time! You are doing great, will keep my fingers crossed for you!xxx

[MissSaoPaulo]

You're at the halfway point, it's normal to fall into despair around now, convincing yourself it hasn't worked but symptoms or lack of them can go either way. It's a real headf**k!!

Good luck xxx

[Kiers27 in reply to MissSaoPaulo]

Yes the halfway point ... fingers crossed it speeds up from here ... 😬

You are absolutely right about the head!!

Congratulations on your news ... lovely story 🥰

Keep well and best of luck for it all xx

[amandac84]

Oh lovely I’m agnosing for you. Try and keep busy walking, etc plans and keep distracted is the hardest I’ve done 3x 2ww after IUI and that was hard but I always knew it wouldn’t work so I can only imagine this tww is torture.

Sending all my positive vibes your way xxx

[Emmaxxx]

Hello my lovely!

You are doing so well. I think that the 2ww is the worst bit EVER!! It is so hard to get through the shall I test/what is that niggle/ is that period pain or the progesterone? I have everything crossed for you and I really hope you enjoy country walk at the weekend.

Keep positive and I’m sending you Tom and tons of baby dust xxx
