2ww - anyone else ?

[Minnie92]

Hey everyone, currently 3dp5dt and slowly loosing my mind. Today has been particularly bad for anxiety and I caved and tested and no shock BFN ! just had the urge to test even tho I know it would be negative ! Anyone else in their 2ww and how are you all feeling? X

[McQueeny]

Just! Transfer (frozen) this morning.... 🤞 it’s going to be a veeeery long two weeks 🥴 good luck!! x

[Minnie92 in reply to McQueeny]

Eeeek congratulations on being PUPO !! How was transfer? Are you feeling ok? X

[McQueeny in reply to Minnie92]

Thank you! Transfer was ok, thanks. Took a bit longer cause apparently it was a bit tricky but the doctor said it went smoothly in the end so fingers crossed.... feeling fine, thank you! Now it’s just for trying not to go mad.... 🤪 x

[Minnie92 in reply to McQueeny]

Embrace the madness it happens to us all 😂

[McQueeny in reply to Minnie92]

True 😆 hope you’re feeling ok too!

[Minnie92 in reply to McQueeny]

Feeling ok thank you just a few cramps and some side effects from the progesterone !

[N-A-58]

Yes me, currently 4dp5dt and really need to test but trying to hold out. Thinking I might test Sunday at 6dp

Also this is baby number 2. We have a 2 year old daughter after 5 rounds of ivf.

[Minnie92 in reply to N-A-58]

I was going to wait til Sunday/Monday too but just couldn’t stop myself! Congratulations on your daughter. This is baby number 2 for us aswell, we have a 15 month old daughter and I got a strong bfp at 7dp5dt with her. How are you feeling? X

[N-A-58 in reply to Minnie92]

Congratulations to you too!!

We had to do a completely new fresh cycle abs transferred one with two frozen now. Is yours a FET?

I got a strong line at 8dp with my daughter but didn’t test beforehand. I’m in two minds about Sunday....I don’t know if 6dp will show anything and cause undo stress.

I had cramping day of transfer and up to the 3rd day (yesterday). Boobs are mega sore but I’m on 1 x lubion and 2 x 400mg cycologest. How are you feeling?

[Minnie92 in reply to N-A-58]

Yeh FET this time for us, we had 4 frozen so got 3 left now 🤞🏼I know I wish I had the self control to wait until at least day 7 but I feel less anxious when Iv tested than I do when I haven’t if that makes sense. Cramping is a good sign! Iv had some cramping too, some pink spotting the night of transfer and today, but other than that just a heavy feeling down below like period is on it’s way. It’s hard to know what’s symptoms and what’s not isn’t it with the progesterone!

[N-A-58 in reply to Minnie92]

I know what you mean, better to just know rather than string it out....! I want to on Sunday because we are all off and I’ll have support of hubby.

No spotting for me yet. With my daughter it was the night of 5 days past (so tomorrow night) but I read every pregnancy is different so trying not to stress too much about that.

Keep me updated. Let’s hope we both get what we want xx

[Minnie92 in reply to N-A-58]

Absolutely, I feel the same as if I test on Monday I’m by myself all day so think I’ll test Sunday and then go from there. So true, I had no spotting last time and was pregnant so you really never know. Good luck for Sunday let me know how you get on 🤞🏼 X

[McQueeny in reply to Minnie92]

Baby no 2 for us too! We have a little boy, 19 months old - it was a fresh transfer for us last time (fourth try , 2 fresh + 2 frozen), and this is our last remaining frostie from that cycle. Last time I managed to hold out to OTD I think.... So much good luck to you both 🤞☺️ x

[ZanneScarr]

Hi. I am on my 5th day of TWW. Insanely boring. But I try to keep my brain busy. Watch Netflix (comedies) , listening to music that reminds me of my childhood. Play with my dogs. Eat healthy foods as possible. You're not alone.. Sending baby dust and good energy 🙏🌼

[Minnie92 in reply to ZanneScarr]

Thank you, it’s so hard isn’t it. I thought I would be more relaxed this time around lol hope you’re feeling ok, good luck to you too 🙏🏼💫 xx

[Mwright85]

The 2ww is THE hardest! I'm 12dpt and even tho I had good first two betas, I'm a wreck for Mondays. My fingers are crossed for you! I'd say if you're going to test at home, test day 5. hopefully it's good news and try your hardest to not stress cause that won't help either. Just happy thghts and TRY to stay busy(not to busy) to keep your mind from overthinking. ♡♡♡ fingers crossed for yoy

[Minnie92 in reply to Mwright85]

Well done for not testing that is good will power! I tested on my fresh cycle and got a strong positive at 7dp5dt, so I’m going to test Sunday or Monday (5 and 6dp) keeping everything crossed for you on Monday, hope you get good news 🙏🏼 Xx

[Mai94]

I’m now 8dp5dt! Test day is Tuesday and I’m trying so hard to hold off! Almost there! I might do it Monday night so my husband is with me for a bit longer as he’ll have to go to work Tuesday morning!Feeling alright have had some aches, tiniest bit of pink discharge at day 3 some pains on and off but nothing else. And this was a natural transfer.

Fingers crossed for all of you 🤞🏽🤞🏽

[Minnie92 in reply to Mai94]

You’ve done so well to not test you must have good self control! Is this your first round? Pink discharge and pains sound good and at least you know it’s not from any meds. Good luck I hope you get your bfp on Monday 🤞🏼💫

[Mai94 in reply to Minnie92]

I’ve been at work so that’s helped keep me busy!! I am contemplating doing it tomorrow because if I was pregnant I’d be 4 weeks 🤔 so should show! Just means then we’ll both be home for the day. Will power is wearing off!

Thank you lovely x

[Hidden]

I’m only 2dp3dt but it’s my first ever (FET) so I’m losing my marbles symptom spotting. My boobs are sore and (tmi) huge but I guess that’s just the hormones, horrible headaches and weird cramps but could all be hormones again. If I’m like this at 2 days I may need to be committed by the end 😂

[Minnie92 in reply to Hidden]

Amen to losing our marbles, I felt fine until day 2 then the crazy non stop googling started! They all sound like good symptoms. My last cycle in 2019 my boobs were like rocks from the start and I was pregnant. Just take each day as it comes, I feel my anxiety is better once Iv tested and processed the result, I think waiting a full 2 weeks would not be good for me! When is your test date? X

[Hidden in reply to Minnie92]

Not until 31st! 😣 My clinic offered a blood test on 29th but I prefer the privacy of home testing, I know I will need to freak out one way or the other... I may only make it to next weekend though because I would SO rather test at the weekend than need to go into work after...

[Minnie92 in reply to Hidden]

I agree being at home is much more private. Me too Iv been off for 2 weeks and go back on Tuesday so want to know either way before then!

[Hidden in reply to Minnie92]

It is so hard to know what to do for the best! Fingers crossed you get the outcome you want🤞

[Olivia80]

Hi guys, I’m also in my window and was naughty yesterday at 7dtFET, and got a positive result.

I’d been feeling queasy, way more tired than usual, headachey, and my boobs were huge and a more sensitive sore than from the hormones.

Another test this morning, also positive but now I’m reading into it - the line wasn’t as dark, my boobs aren’t as sore - complete paranoia!

Tomorrow is official OTD and clinic won’t accept positive result until then so hopefully my line will still be there and I can start the next stage of this journey without too much worrying.

Good luck to everyone x

[Minnie92 in reply to Olivia80]

Hi Olivia, congratulations on your bfp! I got my first bfp at 7dp5dt in 2019. Those symptoms all sound good. The line won’t be as dark because the test from yesterday has had all night to get slightly darker and dry out! Good luck for tomorrow 🤞🏼Xx

[Carina41]

Yes I’m 10dp5dt. Blood test at hospital on Monday. I was told not to do a home pregnancy test though as the Otrivelle injection can cause false positives? Is that not true?

[Minnie92 in reply to Carina41]

Hi Carina, that’s true that the trigger can cause false positives early on after transfer. You are definitely best waiting if you can! Good luck for Monday!

[Carina41 in reply to Minnie92]

Thankyou. It’s my first round but I’m 41 so have never got my hopes up too much as I know the odds are against me. I did have 3 days of lower abdomen cramps start 6 days after transfer but no other symptoms. I’ve had 3 embryos transferred so hoping 1 of them found a home 🥰

[Minnie92 in reply to Carina41]

Sending positive thoughts your way that at least one embryo is sticky 🤞🏼Cramping sounds like a good sign and not long to wait now! X

[Icsi_Wincy_Spider]

Pregnyl injections can also stay in our systems for a week - made this mistake last time and got my hopes up when I saw that second line 😔

[Carina41 in reply to Icsi_Wincy_Spider]

It’s 16 days after trigger now and I’ve read that it doesn’t last that long in your system so I may be safe to do 1 🤷‍♀️

[Icsi_Wincy_Spider in reply to Carina41]

Should be! Tbh I'd probably test if I didn't have the Pregnyl issue (another injection going in tonight). Good luck!! 🙏🙏🙏

[Carina41 in reply to Icsi_Wincy_Spider]

Are you having to inject throughout?

Good luck to you too 🤞

[Icsi_Wincy_Spider in reply to Carina41]

Just three: all within week 1 of the 2ww xx

[EastK]

We're on 9dpiui, first time trying! I've purposefully not purchased any pregnancy tests yet so I can't be tempted to test too early

[Minnie92 in reply to EastK]

Good idea, no tests no temptation 😂 good luck for test day 🤞🏼 Hope you’re feeling ok x

[Hopenq]

I had my 3day fresh transfer on Wednesday. First time ivf. So I think I'm 3dp3dt? Is that right?

I am 38 with loow amh and didn't have the best of embryos so im not expecting anything of it. I'm not symptom watching as I know it will make me go crazy. Just secretly hoping it has worked.

[Minnie92 in reply to Hopenq]

Yeh that’s right! How many embryos have you had transferred? I have low amh and my husband has low sperm count and motility. When’s test day for you?

[Hopenq in reply to Minnie92]

Aww beat of luck to you both. Sending baby dust your way.

I had 4 collected. 3 fertilised and 2 transfered. But the embryologist didn't seem hopeful. OTD is 31st

I am hoping for a call tomorrow to see if the 1 left over made it to blastocyst and capable of freezing.

[Ganges in reply to Hopenq]

I’m 38 also. We had one fresh embryo and no others made it to be frozen, which was upsetting. But fingers crossed, as you only need one 🙈

[Ganges]

I’m day 5 post transfer of a fresh embryo. First cycle, so hyper aware of symptoms. Trying not to over google! Sore boobs and cramps for me. I’m scared to test early as I worry I won’t believe it!I knew this part would be difficult, but I underestimated just how bad it would be!

[Minnie92 in reply to Ganges]

How are you feeling? Have you given in to testing today?! Iv done a fresh cycle before and genuinely forgot how hard the 2ww is!

[Ganges in reply to Minnie92]

Hi, I feel exhausted today and headachy. I had a tiny bit of pink on the tissue when I went to toilet before. Trying to ignore it all and get through the next 7 days 🙈. How are you doing today? x

[Minnie92 in reply to Ganges]

Are you taking progesterone? That makes me so sleepy! Iv had some pink aswell for a few days after transfer 🤞🏼I’m doing ok thanks, going to test tomorrow as I’ll be 6dp5dt and will feel more in control if I have an idea what’s going on x

[Ganges in reply to Minnie92]

Yeah I’m putting the side effects down to the progesterone! 🤞🏼 For you tomorrow. I’ll see how I go this week and if I lose my mind I’ll test at the end of the week x

[Sun1203]

Hi ladies I got positive result..but hcg is very low 26..I m scared..I don't have any embryos left..

[Minnie92 in reply to Sun1203]

Hi Sun1203, keeping everything crossed that your hca rises 🤞🏼 What’s the next step? Hope you’re ok xx

[Sun1203 in reply to Minnie92]

Today 2nd hcg report came..hcg got reduced from 26 to 7..I don't have any embryos left .I understood today I can't be mother in life..as financially everything I have spent for all infertility treatment..donor ivf us more costly than ivf....don't know why me..😪

[Minnie92 in reply to Sun1203]

I’m so sorry for you ☹️ Life is so cruel and unfair. Sending you big hugs, can’t even imagine how you’re feeling xxx

[SeaGal01]

Hi I am 4dp5dt FET. I tested and got a negative. Not feeling good about this month. I have had pulling right above my pubic bone for the last day and half. But this is my 3rd round it was FET with a 4AB. My last high quality one. Baby dust to you!!!

[Jenclarke]

I'm on 3dp5dt I've been good not testing early this time just going with the flow because I miscarriage last year xx

[Sun1203]

Thank u dear for the support..once try to recover soon from this miscarriage and after that I will go for donor embryo which is cost effective..I can't take any more miscarriages..this is my 2nd chemical pregnancy and last one was 5th month iud..I lost my 5mth twin boys in womb...I feel in ivf chemical pregnancies are more..
