7dp5dt.... coasting along! Hopefully panicking 🥴🤣🤪

[RhinoCat]

Well I’ve made it to 7 days without too much googling , but today .... I’ve needed a wee google session 😃

Hows everyone else on 2ww surviving? Any other not very many symptom people feeling hopeful?

As I type I’m feeling majorly like old Aunt Flo is demanding her visit . Why does

She have to come and ruin everything 🤣😅

This time I’ve managed to not overly think about things as much as last time and also know that lots of symptoms are progesterone related.😝

Things same/ different from last failed frozen cycle:

2dpt Feel tireder but had higher doses of stims so prob just that.

3dpt Felt like my period was coming on day 3 which was normal due date but now those have faded.

Until 4dpt Boobs were mega swollen at start , now not.

5dpt Feel like I’ve got progesterone boobs.

7dpt Nips sore a bit. Different.

Shooting pains in boobs in early days. Different .

6dpt :Sore heads yesterday , extra water didn’t work. 2 sets of tablets taken. Morning and night.

7dpt feeling regular period lunges as if the gels are keeping her at bay. Same as last time 😳

And apart from all that rubbish , yesterday I felt fine and even had more energy. Feel like my body has recovered from egg collection just now and I’m just waiting for Aunt Flo. I’m not as depressed by the idea it’s prob a negative again because I know we have one in the freezer. 🤗

I may feel differently on test day. ( this Thursday )

Best wishes and hugs of understanding to my ivf sisters also on this two week wait of weirdness and torture. 🤣🤪🤩🥳

Such fun 😄😂🤣

Love and hugs Rhinocat 🦏 🐈 x

Hey lovely, I am 9dp5dt, we have the same test date! I have been exactly the same. From 6dp I have felt AF dull aches and pains, which was about when it was due, then it eased off, but they creep in, and even now, I have a heavy feeling in my tummy. Apart from being mega tired, and the odd sore boob here and there, that has been my symptoms. I just feel my high dose of progesterone is keeping AF at bay, and keep having negative nelly days, and sleeping terribly now. 3 more sleeps to go! Wishing you sooooo much luck Rhinocat, i hope this is our time xxx

[RhinoCat in reply to Italy300618]

So glad to hear someone feels the same. I defo feel like I’m in a negative nelly mood. At least we will know on Thursday and can get on with life . Hugs to you 😘 I’m not sure why mine is Thursday ? Last time on frozen it was day 12 , this time on fresh it’s day 10? Is that normal?

[Italy300618 in reply to RhinoCat]

I'm not sure I wondered that myself. I think every clinic is different, some ladies after a 5 day transfer test on day 14, so its all a bit confusing. If that is the date theyve given you that will be correct xx

[Rach82 in reply to RhinoCat]

I think they give frosties an extra couple of days to implant

[RhinoCat in reply to Rach82]

Thank Rach 😘

[Rach82 in reply to RhinoCat]

Rhinocat you are always so positive and funny and i love your posts xx

I had no symptoms with any of my 4 pregnancies.With Francesca I had boob pain ( but could’ve been pms) & cramps 3 days before my period was due. This one I’ve had implantation bleeding ( which I thought was my endo returning!) no other symptoms. In terms of pregnancy is still very early to get any symptoms. And some women get no symptoms throughout their pregnancy ( my mother in law had none throughout 3 pregnancies- had 3 healthy sons) 2WW is very tough ( and mine wasn’t IVF which I imagine even harder) I really hope you get a positive test Thursday ( definitely not out yet) xxx

[RhinoCat in reply to Hidden]

I’ve been TTC for 4 years now 😳Ivf is just a whole other ball game .........considering the bloody nightmare of a journey we all have to go through before we even get to the 2ww.

In many ways the 2ww is the easiest for me as it’s no injections, scans, bloods, procedures, etc.

It’s like the longest ghost train with 43 loop the loops, a derail or seven and 7 splash zones, all in the dark with face slaps at every corner . I don’t recommend it 🤣

[Hidden in reply to RhinoCat]

I think you ladies who go through IVF are incredibly strong & I admire your strength. It took us 7 years to conceive our daughter it was the toughest thing I have ever done. It was awful to watch friends & family popping out babies left right & centre. So painful. 😭 I feel sad for anyone going through this it’s rubbish & really wish everyone here a happy ending. xxx

[Corchi]

Sending loads of positive energy your way. 2ww is so hard! My only advice is to wait and test at appropriate time and not earlier. Love your way xxxx

[RhinoCat in reply to Corchi]

Thanks so much Corchi 😘💐I will defo wait like I did the last time, then there’s no room for doubt or dismay.

[Mutleybob]

Fingers crossed for Thursday!! my OTD is next Wednesday which seems ridiculously a long way away so can see me testing early over the weekend. I’m only on 2dp5dt. But feels sooooo much longer! 😩

My boobs have been quite tender but that will just be the progesterone as was like that before the transfer. I can’t really read any symptoms as it’s far too early really For me. But I have felt like stomach is majorly bloated, like solid. I guess now would the time eggy would be implanting. So hopefully thats a good sign.

I had such a long stims (18days) that my normal period would be about now, but would it always be delayed because of the meds??

This is such a confusing time for us all xxx

[RhinoCat in reply to Mutleybob]

Get yourself distracted! If you haven’t watched Eurovision on Netflix yet you should. It’s a great escape and quite funny with an easy story line! Friends is also a good one for short bursts of giggles 😘💐

[Mutleybob in reply to RhinoCat]

Thanks I may look up a Eurovision, always looking for new things to watch. I do love friends. I am also obsessed with say yes to the dress!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Picalilli99]

Wishing you the best of luck for Thursday lovely, will have everything crossed for you xxxxx

[RhinoCat in reply to Picalilli99]

Thanks so much Picalilli 😘💐 today I feel nothing. Such weird times eh. One day it feels good, next day ..... nothing 🎢🤯 even though I hated the delay of covid it was also a lovely time to not be thinking this crazy 💩. Hope you are ok 😘💐

[Keepingfaith85]

Well done keeping away from google for so long! That deserves some sort of award 🥇 I felt really negative about day 4 so I think you've been doing really well coping until now. It's completely normal to feel low mood and not a sign of anything. Also it's normal to feel AF is going to start. I had both these feelings before my BFP.

I'm keeping everything crossed for you for Thursday ❤️🤞🤞 keep calm and carry on xxx

[RhinoCat in reply to Keepingfaith85]

Awh thanks so much Keepfaith85 😘💐💖 feeling normal today and a bit Aunt flowy indeed. Nice to know it’s normal for some, although I was exact same on my failed FET so just keeping it real.

For me a negative on first round has been good for keeping me from being too hopeful 😄

[Keepingfaith85 in reply to RhinoCat]

Yeah I learnt the same lesson with my first transfer because the progesterone gives you so many "symptoms" I had myself convinced that I was pregnant and the negative absolutely crushed me. It definitely helps to walk the tightrope of hopeful and realistic at the same time! Try and relax, enjoy and spoil yourself xxxx

[Autumnz]

You have read my mind. My test day is Friday and I feel nothing, not even side effects from drugs. Day 2 I had mild cramping for a few hours, day 5 I had very minor spotting. Everything I read is about the symptoms that turn out to be BFP. I was about to ask if anyone had a symptomless 2ww.

I am on my first ever transfer (FET after Covid scuppered my transfer earlier this year). My clinic are having me test on day 10.

Fingers crossed for you. I am feeling hopeful here and trying not to google too much 😂

[RhinoCat in reply to Autumnz]

Is just a crazy time isn’t it! I’ve read posts to confirm and dispute 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤯😂 I only have my last FET to compare so I’m not that hopeful.

Your symptomless version seems more promising ! Wishing you the best of luck 😘💐💐💐💐💐💐

[Autumnz in reply to RhinoCat]

From what I have read there are examples of every kind of 2ww leading to BFPs (symptoms vs symptomless) so I am trying to not over analyse every feeling/lack of feeling 😂 The one thing that seems certain is you have to wait to the OTD to be sure. Fingers crossed for you on Thursday 🤞🤞🤞😘

[L2213]

You’ve done really well to only just start googling! I’ve been non stop since Saturday which was only 3dp5dt for me 🙈 Wishing you all the best for your test date, keeping everything crossed for you. My otd isn’t until next Tuesday which feels like forever away! I’m going to try and hold out until the weekend if I can. Only symptom is extreme bloating and I felt really tired for the first few days and napped in the afternoon but felt ok yesterday. The 2ww is the worst, I’m completely up and down but hoping and praying that it’s worked this time! Good luck and wishing you all the best!💕xxx

[RhinoCat in reply to L2213]

Step away from the Google 🤣😂 it’s such a torture! Just take it easy, time will tell eh 🤪 wouldn’t it be lovely if it worked for all of us after the covid nightmare 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

[L2213 in reply to RhinoCat]

Hehe I’ll try! I know I keep thinking it would be amazing if things did work out, being at home I’ve been way more relaxed than with my previous rounds, keeping everything crossed for us both 🤞🤞🤞xxx

[Twiglet2]

I am so hoping for a positive outcome for you 🤞🏽 Sounds like you are coping well with the wait we done you! 💪🏼 Xx

[RhinoCat in reply to Twiglet2]

Thanks twiglet 😘💐

[fertilitystruggle]

[RhinoCat in reply to Core]

Thanks Core, I’m back to not caring this evening 😂 such fun 🎢🤩💐🙏🏻

[ttcemmie]

Getting there! The countdown continues! Google is full of rubbish. Ignore it or take the bits you want. Hoping times goes fast whilst not wishing your life away! xxxxxx

[RhinoCat in reply to ttcemmie]

I’m just not listening to google now. It’s not saying what I want 🤣💐😘

[franathy]

Good luck RhinoCat I'm really hoping you get your BFP, you seem like such a positive and lovely person! Fingers crossed this week is the end of your IVF journey and the start of your pregnancy one xxx
