2WW - when to do PT

Hi ladies and merry Christmas to you all!

I am very torn about when to do my PT and would like your opinion. The clinic told me to do it 14dPT which is tomorrow. But I am currently in Tuscany with my husband’s family and he says that we should wait until we are back home in London on Sunday night (16dPT). He says it’d be best to be in our environment especially if the news are not good with which I agree in principle. HOWEVER the second week of the 2WW has been a nightmare - I have had AF symptoms for most part of it and I’ve been an emotional wreck - one moment thinking that it’s all over and the other moment thinking that there might still be hope.. I am now feeling that having the answer, whatever that might be, is better than this agony...but I am not sure if I would feel the same way afterwards. This is my first cycle so I have no experience as to how a bfn can affect you. And to top it off, DH’s extended family is joining us tomorrow for a big party on Saturday night. So on the one hand I will have to face more people and put up a brave face if the news are not good but on the other hand I may be distracted by the people, the party and more importantly the alcohol and deal with it better. What do you think? What would you do?

Apologies for the essay I just wanted to give you the full context. Thank you 🙏

I wish I had a good answer!!!! I wanted to wait this time and not test til the day bf beta but caved bc I felt different this time around. It was positive but I’ve entered the realm of testing craziness as I’m still testing multiple times a day watching for it to get darker! Whatever u decide, it’ll be the right decision!

Boobs didn’t hurt hardly at all last time. Def hurt this time. Sudden cramping (after nearly no cramping) on 4dp5dt (?implantation completing?). Nausea.

Hi there. I would personally say wait. I

am testing in the next few days and I have had AF symptoms today and on Tuesday. This is my second IVF cycle. I think it is difficult to know how you will feel, but I personally find it easier being around people when I’m ignorant to the result. Whatever you decide though will be right for you. Wishing you lots of luck xxxxx

Hello lovely, I think I would wait too! I know it’s really hard not knowing, agonising in fact!! But I’m just thinking when I’ve had a BFN’s I’ve not wanted to drink on the day of finding out. Hubby and me have not felt social and just wanted to be at home. So if you can I would try and put it to the back of your mind and enjoy the family party with your hubby. Have a really good time and make some happy memories. If it’s bad news and you’re in Tuscany you might just wish you had waited and just want to be at home. If you wait just a little longer and it’s good news then you’ve had a lovely time on holiday and then you’ll be back home and comfortable and you and hubby can celebrate the best news ever together! I’m wishing you all the luck in the world! I’m also in the 2ww right now and I totally get what you’re saying. This second week has been a nightmare for me to not knowing! So well done to you for not testing so far! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻xxx

Thank you so much Skippy! You are right, I should try to focus on the “now” and enjoy my holiday! As my hubby says, it’s so unpredictable how one would react to a BFN that it’s best to be where we have control over the environment. When is your PT day? Wishing you wholeheartedly best of luck!xx
