Iβve 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 Iβve defo got my Aunt Flo boobs on with the IM COMING cramps and feel like Iβm JUST in my normal cycle π² π£
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. π€¨
Not seeming like itβs my turn this time. Gotta ride this storm until Saturday ππ€ͺ
Saturday test day seems too far away .....π€―π±π€ͺππ»
At least the husband gets home today to join this crazy waiting game. π
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. π
Hugs to allπ

Hey darling! Good morning! πwhile reading your post I was like βnah, itβs the progesteroneβ - donβt get fooled, those bloody pessaries are the worst mind trick EVER!
Saturday is only a few days away π sending you lots of ππππππ(luck)
Ps:the 2ww is never sane ahahah
Ps2: i read all sorts on google too, but itβs so confusing so Iβve now stopped lol
Mmmm yeah think me and google are done for this week ππ€ͺπ€― isnβt it weird that whatever situation you are in you wish you were in someone elseβs? Like just now, Iβm wishing I was a symptom free wonder as they seem to be the bfp gang ?! Crazy crazy emotions π€£ππ€ͺ these hormones have a lot to answer for π«
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!
Bless your β£ you get it π thanks so much! And yes! Distraction to the max will be required if my gut is correct the test can keep until Saturday π€ͺπ
First of all, youβre doing so well! πͺπ»β₯οΈ
Probably the most frustrating part of the tww is that your period, progesterone and being pregnant all can feel very similar. Itβs a complete headfuck π« Donβt 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, donβt wave your white flag yet, you are still very much in the game and if you havenβt watched cheer on Netflix yet, thatβs a bloody good distraction for you right now! π #GoJerry xx
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!!π€£π All completely normal for the crazy 2ww!! Well done on hanging off testing, you got this!πͺπ»π€π»xxx
Iβm trying to have courage Cinderella5 but.... as you knowπ’ π I found first 3 days ok ππ» then by day 4 my phone battery was needing charged constantly to put up with my googling π€£ππ nice to know Iβm normal ivf crazy like the rest of ya πππ how are ya feeling yourself today ? π
In ok ta....well as much as we can be on the 2ww....50/50 split between mentalist & normal!!ππ€£ Trying not to analyse my boobs in the mirror at ever opportunity & wondering if I can feel twinges in my uterus!π€·πΌββοΈπ€― Pretty normal really!!ππ Hubby doesnt help asking if I feel different 10 times a day either. Xxx
Aww thereβs 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 itβs near impossible to tell with all those meds your system. Youβre over half way there now and doing really well so hang in there a little longer. Sending lots of positive vibes πͺπ»π€πΌπxx
Itβs a crazy, horrible, insane inducing time π€ͺ. Iβm a week today for OTD and have made a pact with myself to stop googling!! Iβve done it all a million times before and it doesnβt 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
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 π.
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 π¬, but the chances i am are so slim that i dont wanna waste a test untill necessary lol xx
Just wanted to say hold on in there you are doing great!!! πͺ πͺπͺ There really is nothing quite like the 2ww crazies π€―. 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 πππ xx
Oh thank you π 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 ππππ€£π€£π€£π€£...... a girl can dream eh ! To be fair I feel like I could run away anywhere ..... ππ€ͺ
Might have to settle for a lake walk and a decaf coffee in my fav coffee house π€ͺπ€
Hey, I know weβve spoke on my similar post yesterday but thought Iβd pop up again!
I am going out of my mind. Iβm laughing because on Tuesday/Wednesday I was like βahhh itβll be fine, i feel fine! Donβt think this 2ww is going to be hard at all!β
The temptation to test is too much! I have ordered some first response ones off amazon. Coming tomorrow. I donβt really want to test Monday as Iβll 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 π¬
I really hope you get the best result on Saturday x
Still resisting the Pee sticks πͺπ»π now dreading OTD on Saturday . Iβve had loads of symptoms ranging from cramps, to flu symptoms, to coloured stuff, to moods, to loss of appetite . Itβs been quite the journey so far π’ π€¦πΌββοΈππ€―π€ͺ
All my symptoms have disappeared now on day 9 ....and I just feel normal π€·πΌββοΈπ€¦πΌββοΈ well as normal as ya can on all this medication etc π€¨
Well done you for not testing! Youβve done amazingly well. I know that feeling, when you canβt wait for OTD and then as soon as itβs close, the dread sets in! Whatever happens, youβve got this πͺπ» Youβve handled everything amazingly well and Iβve got everything crossed for you that itβs a BFP on Saturday π€π»
Iβm doing ok, the sickness had kicked in π€’ No actual throwing up yet but I had gaviscon for dinner π Hoping these are all good signs. One week tomorrow for my scan ππ»π€ͺ xx
Thanks for your kind wishes π very little any of us can do really, cautiously waiting to find out if itβs a yeah or not yet. Strange times π€¨
Oh wow! Bet itβll be amazing to get to scan day so you can see your blessing with your eyes π π₯°
Iβd love to complain about gaviscon for dinner π€£π€£ππππ probs an oddly reassuring sign that your hormones are raging ππ»ππ»ππ»πͺπ»πͺπ»πͺπ»πͺπ»πͺπ»πͺπ»ππππππ»ππ»πππππππππππππ»
Iβll hope and pray for the best for ya too ππππππππ
Itβs one of those hospital type pee tests the clinic gave, then Iβve to log it on the portal . Feels so..... harsh. π«Itβll be 12dpt (but mine was a 5 day expanding blasto so I guess, if itβs worked, it should reveal itself on Saturday π€·πΌββοΈ )not sure if they do bloods or not, think only for positives . π
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....
Itβs been nice pretending that I might be pregnant this past two weeks. π
Not looking forward to tomorrow ....sigh .....π₯Ί,
but youβve all been here and no matter what happens, I know you fine ladies will help me through . Iβve resigned my self that Iβll text my family then I can be free of anyoneβs sympathy face . That has helped me deal with the telling people situation .
I totally felt like I was about to get my period so that doesnβt necessarily mean youβre out, who knows what tomorrow will bring! It could be your day, I hope you manage to sleep tonight π
Still pretty awful over here, nausea is getting worse by the day but Iβm grateful for it. Gives me a weird kind of reassurance that hopefully things are progressing! π€π»ππ» scan is next week, feels like forever!x
Ahhhhh! Hang in there RhinoCat! Youβve done so well not testing! Your willpower is amazing! (This is coming from a serial tester! ππ€¦π½ββοΈπ)
Iβll keep everything firmly crossed for you for OTD π€π»π€π»π€π» and will be hoping to see a βI got my BFPβ post from you soon!!!
Will be thinking of you - keep going. Youβve got this πππxxx
