One week down , one week to go! 2w.Impatiently.waiting 🤪 7dp5dt

[RhinoCat]

Oh man! This day last week I was waiting from the embryologist to call!

This week feels like I’m waiting for my period to come. 😫😖😣😔😢

2ww..... are so long!

I’ve literally googled the life out of my phone and can safely say I’ve learnt enough about the female reproductive system that I should probably offer my services to the clinic to pass this second week a bit faster! 🤣🤩😂

I’ve had a range of random symptoms from day 3 ( orange discharge, achey body for two days and Aunt Flo attempts as early as day 3 ) but this past couple of days I’ve defo got my Aunt Flo boobs on with the IM COMING cramps and feel like I’m JUST in my normal cycle 🚲 😣

I woke at 6 to pee and my Aunt Flo crampy tummy is defo here. Normally due tomo but the progesterone seems to be keeping her away. 🤨

Not seeming like it’s my turn this time. Gotta ride this storm until Saturday 😔🤪

Saturday test day seems too far away .....🤯😱🤪🙏🏻

At least the husband gets home today to join this crazy waiting game. 🎉

Hope everyone else in the 2ww is as sane as can be and that you have the strength to face the dreaded OTD when it comes. 🙌

Hugs to all😘

Rhinocat x 💖💐

Hey darling! Good morning! 😃while reading your post I was like ‘nah, it’s the progesterone’ - don’t get fooled, those bloody pessaries are the worst mind trick EVER!

Saturday is only a few days away 😉 sending you lots of 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀(luck)

Ps:the 2ww is never sane ahahah

Ps2: i read all sorts on google too, but it’s so confusing so I’ve now stopped lol

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Mmmm yeah think me and google are done for this week 😂🤪🤯 isn’t it weird that whatever situation you are in you wish you were in someone else’s? Like just now, I’m wishing I was a symptom free wonder as they seem to be the bfp gang ?! Crazy crazy emotions 🤣😂🤪 these hormones have a lot to answer for 😫

Hugs to you 💐

Slowly slowly Saturday is coming! Distraction needed to the max this week! "Isn't it weird that whatever situation you are in you wish you were in someone else's?" Yes! I wish I was in the 2WW! Lol. You're probably thinking right now that it would be utter madness to want to be in the 2WW!

[RhinoCat in reply to ttcemmie]

Bless your ❣ you get it 😘 thanks so much! And yes! Distraction to the max will be required if my gut is correct the test can keep until Saturday 🤪😘

[KiboXX]

First of all, you’re doing so well! 💪🏻♥️

Probably the most frustrating part of the tww is that your period, progesterone and being pregnant all can feel very similar. It’s a complete headfuck 😫 Don’t count yourself out yet though! I honestly had more period like feeling on my BFP cycle than my BFN ones but everyone is different. All I can say is, don’t wave your white flag yet, you are still very much in the game and if you haven’t watched cheer on Netflix yet, that’s a bloody good distraction for you right now! 😘 #GoJerry xx

[ttcemmie in reply to KiboXX]

Agree with this! Fertility treatment, pregnancy, and period all seem to have the same symptoms, which is super annoying!

[RhinoCat in reply to KiboXX]

Thanks pet 💖😂💐🤣 total 🤯🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’ve started watching cheer and it is great! Love that it’s a real life doc thing 👍🏻 Can’t wait for the husband to get home and try to take the remote off me 🤩🤣 football or cheer football or cheer 🤨

[hifer in reply to KiboXX]

Thanks so much for the heads up. I’ve just watched the first episode of Cheer on the train today and loved it!! X

[KiboXX in reply to hifer]

You’re welcome! It’s so good!x

[Cinderella5]

Hey Rhinocat, hang on in there! I think this all sounds like good side effects. Lots of ladies feel AF is just around the corner but ot doesnt arrive. Some people her no symptoms at all. I'm only on day 2 today and already my google history makes me look like a lunatic....and that's me having done this 7 times before!!🤣😂 All completely normal for the crazy 2ww!! Well done on hanging off testing, you got this!💪🏻🤞🏻xxx

[RhinoCat in reply to Cinderella5]

I’m trying to have courage Cinderella5 but.... as you know🎢 😂 I found first 3 days ok 👌🏻 then by day 4 my phone battery was needing charged constantly to put up with my googling 🤣😂😂 nice to know I’m normal ivf crazy like the rest of ya 😂😂😂 how are ya feeling yourself today ? 💐

[Cinderella5 in reply to RhinoCat]

In ok ta....well as much as we can be on the 2ww....50/50 split between mentalist & normal!!😂🤣 Trying not to analyse my boobs in the mirror at ever opportunity & wondering if I can feel twinges in my uterus!🤷🏼‍♀️🤯 Pretty normal really!!🙈😜 Hubby doesnt help asking if I feel different 10 times a day either. Xxx

[hifer in reply to Cinderella5]

Mine’s the same! He said today that my boobs felt firmer than last night and I told him that it was because I was wearing a bra!! 🤦‍♀️xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to hifer]

Ha ha ha brilliant!😂🤣🙈 Men!!🙄xxx

[RhinoCat in reply to hifer]

Thanks for this giggle 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏻

[AuroraXen in reply to hifer]

Amazing 🤣🤣🤣💜

[Lavender96]

Aww there’s nothing like the 2ww to mess with your sanity!! Try not to focus on all the general symptoms (much easier said than done, I know!!) as it’s near impossible to tell with all those meds your system. You’re over half way there now and doing really well so hang in there a little longer. Sending lots of positive vibes 💪🏻🤞🏼🍀xx

[hifer]

It’s a crazy, horrible, insane inducing time 🤪. I’m a week today for OTD and have made a pact with myself to stop googling!! I’ve done it all a million times before and it doesn’t help because we know AF and pregnancy symptoms can be the same and yet we love to torment ourselves! Wishing you loads of luck for sat. Keeping everything crossed xx

[RhinoCat in reply to hifer]

Thanks so much 😘 happy waiting 🎉😂👌🏻💖🙏🏻🤩👌🏻💐💖🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Remember Rhinocat that pregnancy symptoms are almost identical to pms ones. With my first i kept going to the loo thinking i had come on because i was getting the dull ache, pulling feeling down there. But then the sickness started way before my period was due. When that started i tested, obvs too early but the drs kept saying i wasnt preg cuz the tests were neg, so i kept waiting for aunt flo as she still felt like she was coming. Finally after 4 days late i got my two lines. Most people dont get sickness that early, and just feels like there period is coming, so youre most definately still in the game 😀.

Im supposed to test tomorrow but i think friday is more realistic cuz i got that positive ov test 3 days after my ec. I feel period cramps, and really sick 😬, but the chances i am are so slim that i dont wanna waste a test untill necessary lol xx

[Picalilli99]

Just wanted to say hold on in there you are doing great!!! 💪 💪💪 There really is nothing quite like the 2ww crazies 🤯. The time warp when time slows down and it feels impossible not to google the shit out of all possible symptoms or lack of. Glad your hubby is home today. Can you plan some nice things to do together? Sending you lots of luck and positive vibes lovely 🙏🙏🙏 xx

[RhinoCat in reply to Picalilli99]

Oh thank you 😘 hopefully we can plan a few nice things, I mostly want to go to the Caribbean and lie on a beach and drink rum punch 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣...... a girl can dream eh ! To be fair I feel like I could run away anywhere ..... 😘🤪

Might have to settle for a lake walk and a decaf coffee in my fav coffee house 🤪🤗

Hope you are ok 😘

[PenneyPots]

Hey, I know we’ve spoke on my similar post yesterday but thought I’d pop up again!

I am going out of my mind. I’m laughing because on Tuesday/Wednesday I was like “ahhh it’ll be fine, i feel fine! Don’t think this 2ww is going to be hard at all!”

The temptation to test is too much! I have ordered some first response ones off amazon. Coming tomorrow. I don’t really want to test Monday as I’ll be in work all day so I might go a day early and do it on Sunday!!

I have period symptoms in terms of a pain in my side which is usual.

We can guess all day long 😬

I really hope you get the best result on Saturday x

[RhinoCat in reply to PenneyPots]

I was exactly the same. Mine arrived but I’ve put them in the office so I don’t see and pee 🤣😂😂👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻💖💖💖

[KiboXX]

How are you getting on RhinoCat?x

[RhinoCat in reply to KiboXX]

Still resisting the Pee sticks 💪🏻😆 now dreading OTD on Saturday . I’ve had loads of symptoms ranging from cramps, to flu symptoms, to coloured stuff, to moods, to loss of appetite . It’s been quite the journey so far 🎢 🤦🏼‍♀️😆🤯🤪

All my symptoms have disappeared now on day 9 ....and I just feel normal 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ well as normal as ya can on all this medication etc 🤨

How are you? 😘💖

[KiboXX in reply to RhinoCat]

Well done you for not testing! You’ve done amazingly well. I know that feeling, when you can’t wait for OTD and then as soon as it’s close, the dread sets in! Whatever happens, you’ve got this 💪🏻 You’ve handled everything amazingly well and I’ve got everything crossed for you that it’s a BFP on Saturday 🤞🏻

I’m doing ok, the sickness had kicked in 🤢 No actual throwing up yet but I had gaviscon for dinner 😂 Hoping these are all good signs. One week tomorrow for my scan 🙏🏻🤪 xx

[RhinoCat in reply to KiboXX]

Thanks for your kind wishes 💖 very little any of us can do really, cautiously waiting to find out if it’s a yeah or not yet. Strange times 🤨

Oh wow! Bet it’ll be amazing to get to scan day so you can see your blessing with your eyes 👀 🥰

I’d love to complain about gaviscon for dinner 🤣🤣😂🎉🎉🎉 probs an oddly reassuring sign that your hormones are raging 👌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉👌🏻👌🏻💐💐💐💖💖💖💖😘😘😘😘👌🏻

[KiboXX in reply to RhinoCat]

Yeah it’s odd to be grateful for feeling like absolute dogshit 😂

I think I’m more petrified for the scan than excited as is everything with this crazy journey but hoping and praying for the best 🙏🏻

Is it a home test or bloods on Saturday?x

[RhinoCat in reply to KiboXX]

I can only imagine 🐶 💩 ... 😂🤣🤣🤣 this journey is indeed crazy and I’d say you are perfectly normal to remain anxious for the next steps .

I’ll hope and pray for the best for ya too 💖💖💖💐💐💐💐💐

It’s one of those hospital type pee tests the clinic gave, then I’ve to log it on the portal . Feels so..... harsh. 😫It’ll be 12dpt (but mine was a 5 day expanding blasto so I guess, if it’s worked, it should reveal itself on Saturday 🤷🏼‍♀️ )not sure if they do bloods or not, think only for positives . 😏

One day at a time 😎🙏🏻💖💐

[KiboXX in reply to RhinoCat]

Sending you all the luck in the world for tomorrow!! ♥️

[RhinoCat in reply to KiboXX]

Thanks so much KiboXX . Feeling shooting pains in my whoha and crampy after few days of zero. Poor old Flo just needs to come now....

It’s been nice pretending that I might be pregnant this past two weeks. 😞

Not looking forward to tomorrow ....sigh .....🥺,

but you’ve all been here and no matter what happens, I know you fine ladies will help me through . I’ve resigned my self that I’ll text my family then I can be free of anyone’s sympathy face . That has helped me deal with the telling people situation .

How are you doing?

💐

[KiboXX in reply to RhinoCat]

I totally felt like I was about to get my period so that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re out, who knows what tomorrow will bring! It could be your day, I hope you manage to sleep tonight 😘

Still pretty awful over here, nausea is getting worse by the day but I’m grateful for it. Gives me a weird kind of reassurance that hopefully things are progressing! 🤞🏻🙏🏻 scan is next week, feels like forever!x

Eek masses of luck lovely xxx

[RhinoCat in reply to Hidden]

Thanks pet 😘💖💐

[JoP32]

Ahhhhh! Hang in there RhinoCat! You’ve done so well not testing! Your willpower is amazing! (This is coming from a serial tester! 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️😂)

I’ll keep everything firmly crossed for you for OTD 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 and will be hoping to see a ‘I got my BFP’ post from you soon!!!

Will be thinking of you - keep going. You’ve got this 👊👊😘xxx
