Firstly, to those of you on this journey.... you are totally awesome and strong and brave! π
Even when this sh&Β£ is hard and hurts like hell, we rise and try again!
Not everyone has the guts to try this. πͺπ»
You can do this! π€©
So glad and sad to be nearing another OTD. π€ͺπ
Thereβs something nice in this limbo land of βmaybe just maybeβ. Nothing worse that a Big Fβn Negative to smack ya back to the reality of the ivf journey eh. Much nicer to not know and dream for a bit.... even if it is for 10 days only.
Iβve never been pregnant and might never be but At least Iβll never look back and regret trying.
OTD is tomo and comparing my symptoms to the last time, the outcome will probably be the same. π
The wait is hard but the negative confirmations are harder.
Symptoms this cycle by the day:
Day 1,2not much tired
Day 3 cramps tired
Day 4 usual swollen π π tired
Day 5 same
Day 6 sore head morning and sore head night
Day 7 cramps early morning tired
Day 8 cramps tired
Day 9 cramps and Aunt Flo gut gurgles (think sheβs getting angry now and just wants to come)
Mostly feeling normal but like Aunt Flo is building if that makes sense. Sure, it was fun while it lasted.π
So to those in the 2ww I say:
enjoy it. Relax in the maybe. Time enough to feel the pain when the day of testing comes.
For those of you waiting to go again :
fill up those laughter tanks with living in the spaces before your next cycle. Go do fun things and drink coffee whilst you can .
To anyone giving up on the whole thing: take a break and do what your heart desires.
Love and hugs to all this day,
As we say here in Northern Ireland
βMay the sun shine warm upon your faceβ today.
