It's driving me absolutely bonkers waiting till Monday I just keep thinking just do it so you know,the only thing that is stopping me is the disappointment of a failed attempt and knowing it is the end of the road for me after this go, how accurate are the tests likely to be if I did the test 5 days early ???

I’m the exactly same Shelly but I have 7 days to go!

This is my first time in the 2ww having never gotten to transfer before.

I don’t want to see a negative and know the journey is over 🥺. Are you having any symptoms at all? X

It's driving me mad ,I've had ups and downs ,at the start I had very bad cramping and pressure on my lower tummy and a few stitches in my sides for quite a few days .

Then I felt like I was going to come on which has also calmed right down now and now I feel irritated and emtiotional.

Last time I bleed at this time and came on my period early as I didn't absorb the pessaries, so I've got further so far .

What about you any signs ? Xx

I’m feeling like I’m having period pains on some days which last a few seconds! I’m also getting pains in my right and left side which is a pain I’ve never gotten before.

I just don’t know what to expect! It’s horrendous. No signs of any spotting or bleeding...

I need next Wednesday to hurry up!!! Xx

The thing is you just don't know when implantation would have taken place so you could get a positive one otd but a negative today, tomorrow, i know its hard if you can hold out till monday but if you can't and you really need to test then test but do it everyday till otd. Wish you all the best lovely 😘💗

Hi Shelly. It's my first IVF cycle and I am having to wait until next Wednesday...I had two put back in (they were they only two eggs I collected so I was lucky they both became embryos)... I keep obsessing as to when to test as well but as I transferred day 3 embryos I feel like I can't test even though I really want to. Good luck I hope you get a BFP....my current thinking is to test the day before (Tues)....it's very up and down and lonely this TWW period as you can't really talk about it and any symptoms just create drama/panic (I've had some light bleeding). It's wiping me out. I can barely function each day xx

Good evening I also had 2 embryos put back in I've not been to bad no bleeding just tierd and irritable today and a lot of cramping for about the first 4 days .

It's so difficult because you want to do it but then your scared too do it .

Awww I hope it all works for you so a huge good luck ,and just take it easy and rest up ,I'm in work for one more day then I'm off for 9 days so I can rest up then,but keeping everything crossed for me and everyone else ,it's an exhausting, draining roller coaster and you cant ever relax you just have to take it each stage at a time that's what I have done x

Tomorrow is my test day ! So nervous ! I also had cramps and funny pains , thought I was about to get my period at one point. It’s hard to know what’s related , not related and what is just from the medication !

Sending lots of love to everyone going through this

Good luck everyone! I am only 2dp5dt so 10 days to go. I have had a few 2WW (from IUI not IVF) and it’s always worth waiting for the OTD as the crash from a negative test is not worth experiencing unless it really is a negative!
