Hi all,
Is anyone else currently in the 2WW? I am really struggling today and looking out for every little thing but don’t seem to feel any different. How is everyone else doing xx

Me. I thought I'd be really cool and chill and not over think things but completely. I transferred on Saturday so not allowed to test until 19th. I'm supposed to be working but so distracted looking up random forums for the most inane sign that I'm going to be OK. Apart from feeling super wet (probably from the pessaries) I feel totally normal.
You sound exactly like me! I have been distracted all day. I transferred Saturday too but been told to test on the 17th. X
Mine was a 5d blastocyst too. We are in the same over thinking distracted boat 🤪
I was thinking all sorts like what if the embryo didn’t go in properly 😂 I am driving myself bonkers x
Sneezed, did it fall out. Farted, did it fall out. Went for a number 2, probably fallen out. Stepped off the curb, fallen out. Absolutely doing my own head in. I know it doesn't work like that but my brain is doing a number on me.
You sound exactly like me! Oh what can we do to remain calm xx
We have got to remember the womb is a strong muscle and no way is it falling out of there x
Indeed. We need to keep sane. It's super early still.
I am just worried it hasn’t hatched out of it shell 
x
But what if it has hatched out? We have no way of knowing but it could be going OK in there.
did your clinic give you guys picture of where the embryo/s end up? Mine did and I found that super helpful! They looked all squished in - haha
I couldn’t see anything on the ultrasound machine, I had a picture and video of my embryo before it went in that’s it
They gave me a picture of the embryo before. They scanned me afterwards and said all was fine but didn't specifically say they could it. Or give details.
Could you see anything on the machine? X
Nope. I didn't have my glasses on though. They just said it's all fine. Never pointed out anything.
Can you tell I’m a worrier! I was worried it hadn’t gone in haha
They check the catheater though to make sure it's empty afterwards. That it definitely went in They usually check it a few times. The embryologist explained that to me. Worrying is normal but it's not helpful. It means you make yourself suffer more. I'm trying very had not to worry too.
I love this 😂 and might have thought something similar. Over worrying is terrible 🤦♀️
I’m having mine on Friday and this has made me laugh, I just know I’ll be thinking the exact same thing! Hope it goes quickly for you and good luck 🤞🏽!!
Good luck for your transfer and hope the crazy thoughts spare you.
I felt the same way about using the barthroom and farting!! 🤣🤣🤣
I transferred on the same date as you and have my OTD as the 19th as well. Am determined not to test early! Last cycle (this is my second) I tested early and had really strong positives up to day 12 which was still the trigger shot and then day 13 nothing so I can’t go through that emotional rollercoaster again 😥. Are you going to try and hold out until OTD?
Yes. I'm fairly sure I will stick to my OTD. I'm a complete swot when it comes to doing what I'm told. I wished it was the 17th like others but we all have different circumstances and can't compare or go off someone else's advise. Best to stick to what we have been told for us. Sorry your last one didn't work out.
I had transfer sat too
yep I'm currently 7dp5dt and I'm not being chill. AT ALL 
We need to all try to chill out 👍🏻
It’s my test day tomorrow my anxiety has been unreal today! Have no idea if it’s worked or not first ever IVF cycle. I believe it’s like a grain of sugar in a Jam sandwich so it will be nice and snug in there.
All the best for tomorrow!
Thank you! Good luck ladies. I’ve convinced myself I’m not then I’m prepared for the worst. I have done well not to cave in early 🙃
Good woman not caving in. I aspire to be like that too and hold out. Really wishing you the best.
I thought I should let you know after taking 2! Tests this morning it’s a BFP. I am in shock, was convinced it hadn’t worked after having the biggest sore stye in my left eye from last Friday and also how bad my anxiety has been I thought there’s no way! Good luck sprinkling baby dust ❤️
That's amazing. Congratulations! All the best to you.
Thank you all the best to you too ❤️
Good luck 🤞🏼
I transferred day 5 embryo yesterday test day is 18th, already googling and dying to test but promised my husband I would wait until test day. We saw our little bean going in and got a picture, just want to know what it’s doing now lol x
Congratulations. I had my transfer today but have OTD as 22nd and my husband won't test early either! Trying not to Google about what to do after transfer 🤦♀️
Oh congrats to you too. Hope all goes well. I am just taking things easy going a bit of mindful colouring watching friends. Back to work on Thursday so hopefully that will take my mind off wanting to test 🙈 x
I have my test date a couple of days later than others who were transfered on the same date as me. Funny how there can be a few days difference. I'm determined to stick it out to the 19th and my partner is a stickler for instructions. But, I'm Irish and the 17th St Patricks day is too tempting.
That is very strange! Odd how clinics have different dates x
I’m 3dp5dt too! Whilst it’s hard, I’m trying to make the most of the not knowing and am nervous this time about testing - official test date 17/03!Definitely going slower this time because of lockdown.
Sincere best wishes to everyone and luck xx
My test date is same as you! Have you had any spotting or anything? I’m obsessing xx
mine is 18th march... but getting period like pains
I’m the same! But no bleed yet x
even i havent started bleeding, but feel like pre-mentural syndromes. Do u feel cramps? Feel very tensed, as i have previous history of misccarriage, and failed IVF due to chromosomal errors in embryo. This time they transferred 4 embryos on day 2 itself(stating they were grade A)
hey how are you? date is coming close, how are your abdomen pains?
It’s so hard ain’t it, I find this forum so helpful. Nothing-just light cramps and heavy boobs. Think this is from pessaries and lubion. I’m secretly hoping for a little sign and know this time next week will be glad not seeing any sign of blood. Will you test early? I did last time which kind of prepared me for the disappointment of a negative on OTD, going to try my best and hold out this time - lockdown will stop me being crazy rushing down the supermarket aisle to pick up a FRER!!! Xx
I had stomach ache yesterday felt like a dull ache. I always bleed before I test on test day so I’m keeping my fingers crossed this time. Last time I did but this time I won’t. I can’t bear it if it’s negative. Did you have a blastocyst transferred?
Hopefully the dull ache was it starting to settle in 😀Yes unbelievably-we’ve had 2 failed fertilisations previously out of 4 cycles. My nerves were to shreds by the transfer day given the low numbers and I honestly didn’t think we would get to a transfer . We only had four eggs collected - 2 fertilised giving us two blastocysts (1has been frozen). How about you?x
Oh gosh bless you! You have really been through it! Mines a blastocyst too.. I had none to freeze unfortunately they too bad quality. I’ve had two previous failed rounds, last round was awful had an early blastocyst transferred and 1st time got a blastocyst but that wasn’t meant to be x
Definitely third time lucky 🍀- I’ve everything crossed for you. All out of our control now and we just gotta hope for the best 😀 there is a good success rate with blastocyst transfers (as good as it gets in this process) so can’t ask for more at this stage. Keep us updated and if you ever want to chat to pass the time message me x
I'm going to try really hard not to Google anything today and stay off the Internet (and get some work done). Going to try very hard to be mindful. Good luck everyone going through the crazy two week wait.
Hey ladies, I too am in my 2WW, I test on the 12th after having a 5 day transfer. I’ve literally felt like testing every day and got 4 pregnancy tests staring at me for temptation! So far I have revisited and it’s one of the hardest things I have ever done! This is my 2nd attempt after failed fertilisation the 1st time so this time we did ICSI. I’ve been feeling absolutely fine all the way through, but then Sunday afternoon all of a sudden I ballooned and feel sooooo bloated and got some pains when I stand up in my abdomen. The feeling hasn’t gone away and I still feel like it, so uncomfortable! I’ve google diagnosed myself with OHSS, but not quite clear if that’s even possible this late on? Sending lots of positive love to you all for a successful round xxx
My OTD is on the 12th too. Wishing you all the luck 🤞
I did IVF back in October, they decided not to transfer an embryo back right away because I was at risk of OHSS, luckily I didn’t end up getting it! Was your transfer about 3 days after egg retrieval?
I was a 5 day transfer. Actually at the hospital now after my clinic referred me and my ovaries are measuring at 8cms when they should be 3cms. Just hope it’s not a severe case of OHSS. Also had a positive test here, but taking it with a Pinch of salt as they couldn’t find evidence of pregnancy in the womb.
I am 4dp5dt of two blastocysts and like you it’s all you can think about and worry about. I am trying to convince myself it hasn’t worked so I am not disappointed. I can’t test until the 19th (13dp5dt) and am determined not to as was caught out last cycle by the trigger still being in my system and giving me a false positive all the way until 12dp5dt!
Hi Dfly, I’m 5dp5dt.. that’s crazy you had a trigger show up at 12dp, as my OTD is 9dp5dt. It really messes with you head doesn’t it. I had symptoms until recently, thinking it’s a positive sign, but now I just think it’s the trigger wearing off. I’m definitely not going to be testing any earlier, good luck to everyone xx
Me! I just had my transfer earlier today so.. welcome to the 2WW! I know this is easier said than done, but go do stuff that makes you happy to take your mind off things.. like going for a picnic or shopping. You’ll be okay ❤️
I'm coming to the end of my 2WW. I'm 10DP5DT and will test on Friday (12th March). Unfortunately though I've given up hope that this has worked. I started light spotting on Sunday and Monday, and yesterday my period came full flow. The hospital said don't give up yet as some people do bleed despite BFP but I don't feel it anymore. My breasts were tender up until Saturday, and then I noticed my temperature dropped from 36.8 to 36.6 on Sunday as well so that's a bad sign. This is round 1 on NHS, no bonus frozen blasto's though so we just have one more NHS EC left so hoping to get enough then to get some extras in the freezer.
Laurashe10, i am so sorry but its not over until you do your blood work. I too have testing on the 12th, i did transfer on the 3rd. I am nervous because this is my second time but, there nothing i change. Wish u all the best.
How was your test dear ?
Thanks for asking * Sensitive *my blood work came back positive my hcg was 410. But my progesterone came back bordline low, my doctor increase it and i have another test this Tuesday. First i was nervous if the embryos are going to stick ( did two). Now my nervousness shift to am I going to able to carry the pregnancy. Its like a never ending circus
I can understand.. but I am sure doctors will successfully deal with it :)It's a vicious circle, but will surely end with cute healthy kids in your hands.. 
Did you have menses like pain before the test?
Thanks again hun. No i did not have mense like pain . My symptom was thirst and heartburns. I was so thirsty three days pass transfer to the point i woke up with my lip bleeding. Also one day i say a small amount of slimy brown discharge in my underwear but non when wipe. The thirsty when away by the Friday of test day. Still struggling with heartburn especially before i fall a sleep. I start to have severe headaches starting Saturday after increase progesterone. Honestly i was worried because my mens was due the 13 of the month and i always have severe headaches two to three days before my mens. But i woke this morning and the headaches was gone and no mens so feel a bit better.
everyone has different symptoms, so its difficult to compare, i guess... anyways, i am sending you all positive energies, may god help us all, take rest and have faith in God
hello, how are you doing?
Hi Laura, how are you doing?How was your beta hcg test ?
Me!! I'm 6dp5dt and it's driving me crazy as well! My first FET in Nov I felt the tugging and pulling, this time none of that but the day of the transfer my knees were hurting and kept hurting and the lower bottom of my spine but that has eased and I had 1 day of heartburn in throat and chest. 5 more days to go. Hang in there ladies and baby dust to you all! We've come so far thru this journey.
hi Zoe I am 5dpt 5dt. driving myslef mad
It’s awful! Have you had any symptoms x
on Saturday I had transfer at 11am . at 9 30pm I had brown stringy music and few tiny spots on pink blood. Next morning tiniest amount of stingy brown bits . have had on off twinges in my uterus on both sides . that is all.
how are u
Had no bleeding but feel like I’ve had on and off stomach pain for a few days!
I'm not sure Zoe either my bleed may be from transfer itself and not implantation. I think it would be too early . can we keep in touch please
How are you holding up? We've made it to day 5. I still don't feel any symptoms really. I had some cramp on Tuesday night but it was short lived and now I think I imagined it. I just have lower backache and thigh/hip ache like I've been working out (I haven't). I'm not a spotter so I don't have that to go off.
I think I have cramp today, keep convincing myself I am going to bleed at any moment but no blood yet! X
I've had cramping this afternoon too. I'm pretty sure it's real now and not in my head. It does feel a lot like you are about to come on your period. It's an absolute head shredder. Let's keep those positive thoughts going though. The pains could be the good type.
I keep going the toilet and checking for blood. It’s like a dull ache if you get me x
Same. Totally the same. The dull ache started yesterday and has really picked up today. A little bit like when you've been to the gym 🤣
I keep checking in the loo too. There is something going on!
I can’t describe it whether it’s cramps or not it’s so Bizzare. X
Ahh, I said the same earlier. Its not quite cramp cramps. It feels like my lower abdomen and lower back are being pulled downwards. Then a get a shooting pain around my lower abs occasionally too.
Ok too much info I know but the pessaries are making my poo orange haha!!
Oh no, I've not had that one! Maybe on different ones. I'm definitely way more windy than usual and bloated, I'm sure that's the pessaries.
I’m the same apart from the weird orange discharge x
I am checking in to see how you all are. Not long to 19th March. I have no symptoms at all.
hey i have continous menses like pain, but no bleed yet. Have almost lost all the hope
Same past few days I have had nothing . feel deflated .
same here, my office work is also suffering because of my mood, not able to focus on anything, this would be my second ivf failure. I am residing in India and 34yrs old, i have alot of family pressure which drives me crazy and also due to Corona fear i am at home for past one year, met no one no outing nothing, increasing my negativity multiple times
Hi all, just had my second transfer ( frozen this time ) first one was fresh on day 8 of transfer i got a positive, then day 9 i started to spot, day 10 i had full flow, On Saturday 13TH March 9am, day 5 Blastocyst, feel very crampy, abdo pain,headache, sore breast, back pain, yet i had them all last time and could be due to pessaries, have been naughty and been testing BFN which is expected as its only day 3, my testing date is Wednesday 24Th March and due date is Thursday 25th, have been doing things different this time, trying to be as normal as possible, back at work, slight cooking, outings, small shopping, with first transfer i took 2 weeks off work and did nothing but rest and google. i am so grateful for this page
