2WW is driving me CRAZY

Anyone else feeling this? πŸ˜‚πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Currently 5dpt3dt. Im promising to not google, symptom spot or think about it too much .. so instead I have googled every day, symptom spot every minute and think about it every second πŸ˜‚

I had a good quality 3 day embryo transfer on the 31st October and my OTD is 13th November. πŸ˜‚ what luck I seem to have! πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€—

My boobs are tender but twinges I had in the first few days have all but disappeared 😩

Im not convinced that this has been successful but im determined not to test until OTD - despite the temptation πŸ˜’πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ˜¬

Good luck ladies! 🀞🀞🀞

It’s impossible not to symptom spot! So hard not to drive yourself crazy with it. I tested on day 6 (BFN) and it made things so much worse. Hold out for OTD if you can. I’m determined not to test again until mine. Started to feel quite sick today so have been desperate to test, but nothing good can come of it.

Wishing you lots of luck!xxx

Oh bless you! Let's hope it was just too early for you 🀞🀞

God I know, I dont seem to have any symptoms apart from sore boobs and even that I'm convinced is due to the progesterone I have been taking πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚

Good luck for your OTD!!! 🀞🀞🀞🀞

Hi stephben12 I’m currently 8dp5dt my OTD is also Friday 13th November 🀣🀣 I was like nope πŸ‘Ž not happening so the clinic has excepted I’ll be doing my on Thursday 12th instead,,,,, I have no intentions of early testing as I see so many go mad with the process of fading lines, many tests, worrying ,,,,, it’s stressful enough as it is and whist we know nothing, innocence of thinking we maybe is enough to get on with 😊

Good luck on your journey xx

I completely agree! As much as I'd like to test, I dont want the disappointment early lol!

I dont mind about testing on the 13th (altho I completely get what you mean πŸ˜‚) because it makes me laugh that my transfer was halloween and my test day is Friday 13th. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Good luck hun, wishing you all the happiness and keeping my fingers crossed for you 🀞🀞🀞

I am 1dp5dt and I agree. It is so hard not to google symptoms and wondering if the twinges are from implantation or from the FET procedure itself or from the progesterone πŸ˜‚ My OTD is on the 14th of Nov, feels like forever ! Wishing you the best !

100%!! & Google doesn't even have that much information around this, im finding forums easier but everyone is so different that it doesn't help either πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ i love this though cos you can connect with so many women going through the same concerns and worries πŸ₯°

You too my lovely, sending all my love and luck to you for your test!!! 🀞🀞🀞

OTD 11th November for me with a 2AA embryo. I'm convinced it's not worked and googled every little symptom too. My other half keeps asking why I think it's not worked but I can't explain it as its just a feeling. I feel like I'm going crazy!!

Other than the odd on and off twinges (usually at 5am πŸ˜’), horrendous bloat (thanks progesterone) and needing to drink like a fish that's it.

I hope you get your BFP on the 31st! ❀️

I feel the exact same! I've just got a gut feeling this hasn't worked! πŸ˜”πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I've been pregnant in the past (ended in loss) and I just knew, straight away & I knew when something didn't feel right either. We know our bodies so well its annoying lol πŸ˜†

Good luck to you too 🀞🀞🀞🀞

It's nice to know I'm not the only one feeling like a crazy person πŸ™ˆ

I hope this time you get your miracle baby ❀️

Hello all, I just stumbled across this thread and it’s made me feel so much better. We had our 5dt on Tuesday with a 4BB embryo and our OTD is 14th Nov. I am also analysing and obsessing over ever little twinge and obsessively googling. It’s impossible not to try and second guess your body. I’ve also had bloating and sore breasts but it’s so hard to know if that’s the progesterone or my period arriving. If my period hasn’t arrived before my test I think I’ll almost be too scared to test. I have also been pregnant before with a similar graded embryo but sadly we discovered abnormalities at the 12 week scan which was very difficult. I’m so desperate for this to be our time. Wishing you all the best and keeping my fingers crossed for you. X

Welcome to the club hun, it's the most annoying club there is πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Sorry to hear of your previous loss 😒 it is just heartbreaking πŸ’” we, magically I might add, managed to naturally fall pregnant in March 2017 and as we approached our 12 week scan I kept telling my husband something wasn't right. He was being positive saying no, you're fine, no bleeding etc youre just worried.. got to the 12 week scan to be told it was a missed miscarriage and it had stopped growing (they thought) around 7 weeks. I had to go home for a week and decide how I wanted to "sort it out" and it would be "like a bad period", I decided I wanted the D&C cos I didn't wanna do it naturally 😩 but then I ended up not having a choice and it was horrendous πŸ˜±πŸ˜” when we went back they told me I had actually measured further than 12 weeks (hence why miscarriage felt more like I was in labour & what I passed was like a melon) πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

But yes, you definitely know your own body! So I'm just praying that this time I'm wrong πŸ˜‚πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ€ž

Sending you all the luck in the world my love, I hope that this is your time too 🀞🀞🀞🀞❀

Hi ladies! Feels nice to be a part of this fam :) I had my transfer last week and i am getting some back cramps (sorry not familiar with the terms). Is that normal? My testing date is 17th so still a week to go

stephben12 profile image
stephben12 in reply to Shivaya2020

Hey! Congrats on your transfer, how are you feeling? ☺

Im 9 days post transfer of a 3 day embryo transfer and all of my "symptoms" have dissapeared (boobs dont feel sore anymore etc) however last night, I had back ache too!

I dont think there's a right answer for what is "normal" I think we are all so different but I wouldn't say its anything to worry about πŸ€— πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Dont forget that we have been poked and prodded so our bodies are gonna take time to get back to feeling okay! 🀣 xx

lex8719 profile image
lex8719 in reply to stephben12

we are the same, sore boobs gone but now 12 dpo it came back sore but not that much.. i think im out already :(.

Ya its just so hard. Its my 2nd cycle and i keep drawing references to the 1st which makes it more scary.

Sending across lots of good wishes ❀️

OMG I’m losing my mind now! πŸ€ͺ😭

Snap! I also had my transfer of a day three embryo on 31 October and for some reason my clinic said to test on 11 November and If negative to test again in 2-3 days. I used to be with another clinic who said 14 days after transfer where as my current clinic say two weeks after egg collection. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I have had sore boobs (but I think that’s the progesterone!) and have also had hot flushes at night (again I think they are drug side effects). I had pretty bad nausea this morning (I felt like I was going to be sick at one point) but I don’t know if that’s the drugs or me working myself up about test day. Just want to know now, it’s so, so hard to wait! But in other ways I like being in my β€˜not knowing bubble’ as it means there is still a chance! πŸ€ͺ😫

Sending you all virtual hugs and positive vibes. I really hope we all get BFPs. xxx ❀️

stephben12 in reply to Kat_15

Its so reassuring to know we are all feeling the same! Although, also very annoying πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

My sore bbs have completely gone so I'm sure it was the overload of progesterone. Im still sweating it out at night (agree, progesterone I think too). I've had back ache since last night and the on and off twinge yesterday but nothing today πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Who knows πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ if it were "natural" we probably wouldn't even notice half of what we are hahahaha

Good luck with your test! Im sticking out until Friday!!! Sending all the luck 🀞🀞🀞❀

I’ve had the worst day of my TWW so far! I’ve burst into tears numerous times for no reason, had full on period like cramps with the morning, absolutely convinced that I’m due to come on in the next day or so!

Not sure I can cope with 4 more days 😫😫😫

stephben12 in reply to JenniferKimberley
