Coping with the two week wait...

[Fluffysocks89]

Hi Everyone 💕

How on earth do you all cope with the TWW? We are only 4 days in to ours and just want to know our outcome.

Im so emotional (nothing new there 🙈 I’m sure the meds have a lot to answer for that too though) I keep shifting from - “this could be our rainbow” to “its never going to work on our first transfer”

I have lots of things planned in but can’t stop myself from thinking about it. I can’t concentrate at work and find myself tuning in to every little twitch my body makes 😩

I won’t test early as I want to know our result is real at the time we test but I’m finding the waiting game so difficult.

Xx

Hey fluffysocks, it really is the worst bit isn't it...all the way through you think you're going through the worst. I would say the first week for me I felt quite good as I felt full of hope the 2nd week was when I deteriorated with signs of period etc, going back to work helped to keep busy.

I thought it would be a good idea to make a journal of everything I'm feeling but it's not for everybody. I would definitely not google, as I was terrible for this. Trying to symptom spot everything.

Just try and keep calm, use mindful apps or anything you like to do to chill, and keep busy and try and keep positive, you're doing amazing. Good luck xxx

Hi Italy,

Thanks for your reply. It sure is!

Transfer day and the two days after I was full of hope & positivity but for some reason today I can’t shake off the negative thoughts.

I’ll have a look into the mindful apps, hopefully they will restore some faith for me, thank you for that 🙂

Wishing you all the best with your journey 💕 xxx

Negative thoughts are so hard to shake! It's just natural so dont worry.

Whens your test day?

Will be keeping everything crossed for you!

Thank you 💗 not too long now until I start xx

[Fluffysocks89 in reply to Italy300618]

Hi Italy,

My test day is next Sunday. Only 7 sleeps to go 🙈

Thank you so much.. I’m feeling a little better, thanks to you lovely ladies xx

[ChloeDE in reply to Fluffysocks89]

My test day is next Sunday too! Don't think I will make it that long though...

[Fluffysocks89 in reply to ChloeDE]

I know how you feel.. Good Luck lovely 🍀 wishing you all the best xx

[ChloeDE in reply to Fluffysocks89]

You too. Lots of baby dust. X

I feel you ! I am 5 days in and just want to know because to think that im not and im having this hope is killing me a bit. Then i also think even if it is negative i will atleast know and move on. Not much help im afraid. What helps is being kind to ur self. I do some grocery shopping or just go out for a bit and spoil my self with something small. Hang in there !! All the best xx

Oh it’s awful but you are doing the right thing! Keep busy and DO NOT test early. I sorely regret it.

It can happen on your first go. Everyone’s cycle is different. There is nothing to suggest it won’t happen. You need to keep the faith and the hope that it will.

Hi hun I’m on the same boat . I had my transfer on Tuesday .

It’s so hard not to think specially when I had different 2ww when I had my baby ....and last year I had another 2 2ww different....so it’s really hard to stay this time without thinking...

When is your OTD? My is next Saturday.xx

[Fluffysocks89 in reply to Olivia1980xxx]

Hi Olivia, Its hard isn’t it! I had my transfer on Tuesday too but our OTD is next Sunday.

I don’t know how I’ll cope until then!

Keeping everything g crossed for us both 🤞🏼💕 Good Luck 🍀 xxx

[Olivia1980xxx in reply to Fluffysocks89]

This time they give me two pregnancy tests saying that my OTD is next Saturday but if is negative to repeat test two days after.

I don’t know if I can do tests twice so I think I may do on Sunday too.

Fingers crossed for us both hun 🤞🙏🍀🍀xxx

I tested everyday even though it’s advised not to but I think that’s how I coped. I wouldn’t have been able to wait till test day without ant inkling of the outcome. I have been very lucky and got a bfp on my first round which I never thought would happen. I tested from 4 days past and got negatives until 6 days past. For me that’s how I coped because when I first got the negatives even though I knew it was too early if the result would t have changed I’d of felt a little prepared for a negative on otd. Good luck op x

[Hidden in reply to Rach1234566]

Oh my god!! Dont put ideas in my head hahaha xx so happy for you

[Fluffysocks89 in reply to Rach1234566]

Ahh that’s fab news! Congratulations.

I just need it to be next weekend already so I can test and finally know 🙈 xxx

[Sisibaby in reply to Rach1234566]

I know this is a mega old thread but I wanted to ask, which tests did you use?

[Rach1234566 in reply to Sisibaby]

First response x

[Sisibaby in reply to Rach1234566]

Hmmmmm I’m 6dp5dfet today and did a First Response and got a BLANK square

Not even a squint

Previously I’ve have a strong line on day 5 so I don’t think this one has worked

[Rach1234566]

And also the odvious keep yourself busy and treat yourself! I had so many Costa got chocolates the first week 😂 X

[Nat246]

I’m in the 2WW too, it’s torture! Xx

[Fluffysocks89 in reply to Nat246]

Hi Nat,

It really is isn’t!

I’m so grateful for you all on here though. Not sure I’d get through it without everyone’s support 🥰 xx

[Nat246 in reply to Fluffysocks89]

Yes this forum is great isn’t it. As well as a huge support as people know what you’re going through, also learn a lot which makes the appts easier as you understand a bit more xx

[12356]

It can happen dear, I got my BFP on my 1st attempt, my Son will be 2 years in few months time, my 2nd circle failed last December, my 3rd circle was on Jan 14th, got another BFP , am almost 8 to 9 weeks gone,

Do what you like most, don't test early it will not help you rather it will increase your worry,

Sending you baby dust and lots of 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[Fluffysocks89 in reply to 12356]

Hi 12356,

Oh wow that’s fabulous news! Congratulations lovely!!

I’m so impatient, I just want to know either way but you’ve given me some hope 💕 so thank you 🙂 xx

[PurpleLove19]

This time next week i will just be starting the TTW and you will almost be at the finishing line. Did you have any time off to rest or did you just go back to normal? X

[Fluffysocks89 in reply to PurpleLove19]

Hi Dace,

I took the day of transfer off but had to go back to work the day after. I work in an office so it’s nothing to strenuous thankfully.

Wishing you all the best 🍀🥰 xxx

[PurpleLove19 in reply to Fluffysocks89]

Good luck. Keep us all posted. X
