Firstly, to those of you on this journey.... you are totally awesome and strong and brave! 🏅
Even when this sh&£ is hard and hurts like hell, we rise and try again!
Not everyone has the guts to try this. 💪🏻
You can do this! 🤩
So glad and sad to be nearing another OTD. 🤪😏
There’s something nice in this limbo land of ‘maybe just maybe’. Nothing worse that a Big F’n 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.
I’ve never been pregnant and might never be but At least I’ll never look back and regret trying.
OTD is tomo and comparing my symptoms to the last time, the outcome will probably be the same. 😔
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 🍈 🍈 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 she’s 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.😆
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
‘May the sun shine warm upon your face’ today.

Hey Rhinocat! I was literally just thinking about you and you popped up! Well done on the net testing, what a legend.....you know what Im like?! I really hope you are wrong about OTD, Im rooting for you lovely! Hoping you have the luck of the Irish!! Ha ha haxxx
Wishing you the best with OTD, truly hope it’s a BFP. I’m afraid AF & early pregnancy symptoms are the same & impossible to tell apart. It’s another cruel twist on this already difficult journey. Each BFP I have had I have been convinced AF was coming ( and I had cramps & backache everytime) I definitely think you are not out. xxx
Wishing you all the best luck for tomorrow. My only BFP, I was convinced it hadn’t worked but was proven wrong on OTD. Unfortunately it was a miscarriage but try and remember each round is completely different so you never know.
You haven’t mentioned anything about spotting and think like these that are more scary in out sick minds 😂 so definitely you are not out. That is wonderful I would say!
I’m sending you the luck in the world for tomorrow, I would love to wake and see a bfp post from you 💕
All I will say is the only thing I had on my last tww was that Aunt Flo feeling and it definitely wasn’t her coming so don’t rule yourself out just yet! Who knows what the morning will bring. Big hugs and lots of love for your test xxx
Just wanted to wish you well and let you know I’ll be rooting for you tomorrow 😊 I hope that you have some good news. Look after yourself and good luck!!!xxxxx
I am also 9dp5dt and your9 days sound almost exactly the same as mine, though I have had a very tiny bit of spotting. My OTD isn’t until Sunday though. Best of luck for tomorrow! X
Oh wow! Was yours frozen transfer? I was 12 days last time but 10 this time with fresh transfer. I’ve had zero spotting of any kind . Hope you’re resting and looking after yourself 😘💐💐💖💖💖💖🙏🏻
No fresh! I don’t know why it’s so long it was the same last time for my fresh transfer too. I spoke to them today about my cramps but they still said to wait until Sunday. It’s so weird but I’m going to stick with it anyway. I hope you are too. Xx
Wishing you the very best of luck for tomorrow RhinoCat. If it helps, with my one & only BFP from ivf I had zero symptoms, so lack of them doesn’t mean it’s bad...
will be thinking of you and keeping all the fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Xxx
Thank you for making me smile with your message. The whole process is crappy, but we have to stay positive and look on the bright side of things. I hope tomorrow you get your BFP and can take your first step on a different journey. xx
Lovely post as always. Got everything crossed for good news for you tomorrow 🤞🤞. (From someone in the waiting group -will keep building the old laughter tank 😂 whilst gulping the coffee ☕️) 👍.Best of luck lovely xx
