8dp5dt craziness!

[Jezzabelle]

No question, just thought I’d share my tww craziness with people who will understand how hard this part of IVF is!

1st cycle last year I bled early before my OTD (started spotting on 9dp5dt and got heavier from there), so basically just sitting here feeling like it hasn’t worked and waiting for the dreaded bleed 😔

To everyone going through this journey, you are all amazing 💜 x

Sending you lots of baby dust! I’ve just finished my tww and it’s drove me crazy 🙈😂 try to keep busy and wishing you a bfp otd xx

[McQueeny]

Totally sympathise!! I thought the 2ww would get easier after a few goes but nope, it’s torture every time..... good luck!! 🙏🤗

[muststayhopeful in reply to McQueeny]

Oh I thought this too! 6th 2WW and it gets no easier! Xx

[Jezzabelle in reply to muststayhopeful]

Completely agree! You’d have thought it gets easier but it certainly doesn’t! I don’t know about you but I sit there thinking about how we aren’t that lucky and that it’s never going to work because it hasn’t before. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Xx

[muststayhopeful in reply to Jezzabelle]

Oh I do this all the time. I have developed anxiety and such negative thought processes now. It’s awful. Look after yourself xx

[IMax93]

Good luck 🤞I know exactly how you’re feeling I’m 10dp 5dt and I’m finding it so hard as well the unknown and I’ve not really had any symptoms either.

My test is on Saturday, wishing you a BFP xx

[Jezzabelle in reply to IMax93]

Thank you - 🤞 for you too! It’s absolutely torture. I’d rather just know either way to be able to start processing the outcome and putting a plan in place for going forward. I’ve not really had any symptoms either other than cramps up until Saturday but that’s either the progesterone or my body sorting itself out following EC, or both! A bit twingy on and off but nothing major to report xx

Hi Jezzabelle, I’m the same as you 8dp5dt. I had awful cramps yesterday and none today! It’s all a bit mad! I keep telling myself there’s no way I could be and I don’t want to test either because of the disappointment. My left boob is really sore and right is a bit sore 🙄 when is your test day? xx

[Jezzabelle in reply to Jrss1]

I’m right there with you my friend! It’s so hard not to symptom spot isn’t it! We are so hypersensitive to everything. Test day is Saturday, but reckon I’ll know by the end of tomorrow as anticipating AF will arrive in the PM like our first round if it’s failed. We are anticipating the worst nhs hoping for the best given our embryo was an early blast and not looking too great when we got our day 3 update! Surprised it caught up to be viable for transfer tbh, but that almost prolongs the pain if it wasn’t meant to be successful. How about you? Xx

[Jrss1 in reply to Jezzabelle]

I really hope you get good news. I see and feel everyone’s pain on this. It’s sometimes so unfair! I had a potential 8 eggs to collect and on the day, they only got 2. They said the others weren’t mature enough and some were empty. I was gutted. The collection was on a Friday because they don’t do collections on sat or sun but I think if I had one more day, the outcome would have been different. Anyway, out of the 2, only one made it to blastocyst and the embryologist was very happy with it. So.... just the waiting game now! It’s so tough! xxxx

[Jezzabelle in reply to Jrss1]

I think that was my problem on my second round as only 2/6 were mature and my collection was on a Friday because they don’t do collections at the weekend! They pushed me on another day this time which thankfully was possible as it meant EC on Thursday rather than Wednesday. We also changed my trigger from ovitrelle to 10,000 gonassi. Got 4/6 mature, so reckon I could have gone to the Friday tbh!

I keep telling myself it only takes one, so keep hold of that though hun. Really hoping you get good news too 💜 it really does seem so unfair at times xxx

[Jrss1 in reply to Jezzabelle]

Thanks so much, I’m keeping everything crossed for you too hun. We are all in this together. Tbh, I don’t think this one is my time. Chat to you soon xxxx

I'm here with you - 7dp5dt. My first transfer failed, so I feel like there's no way this one will work either. I was certain the first one worked, I had lots of cramps and strange twinges. This time I don't really feel anything except tired. So stressful!! Going for a blood test on Friday.

[Jezzabelle in reply to Fizzbip]

Exactly the same here. Thought getting past EC would be the difficult part with my low AMH, and that transfer would absolutely work if we got that far, but turns out that wasn’t so true.🤞🤞 for hun for Friday!! Here’s hoping you get your BFP. Xx

[Jrss1 in reply to Fizzbip]

Friday for me too Fizzbip. I’m getting loads of different twinges. This evening and none all day. My temperature was slightly elevated. It was 37.2 which is strange cause it’s normally around 36.6 or so. Maybe it’s the progesterone playing around! 🙄 - either way, the wait it awful, even though I’ve been through it so many times. This time does feel slightly different but maybe that’s in my head! I’m scared about Friday. I don’t know whether to prepare myself and do a test or just do the blood test??

[Fizzbip in reply to Jrss1]

I know, me neither. Last time I didn't test and I'm trying to make it to not testing this time either. I don't have any tests at home which is helping because I'm too lazy to go to the store!

[Jezzabelle in reply to Fizzbip]

Good luck to you both for tomorrow! 🤞💜🌈 xx

[Jrss1 in reply to Jezzabelle]

How are you feeling today? xx

[Jezzabelle in reply to Jrss1]

Yeah not too bad thanks! Appear to be still in the game for now 🤞 how about you? Xx

[Jrss1 in reply to Jezzabelle]

That’s good to hear! Still the same for me. On tender hooks for the morning. I suppose I’ll know either way tomorrow 😳 - are you gonna wait til Saturday to test or will you do it yourself tomorrow?

[Jezzabelle in reply to Jrss1]

I bet you are! Hopefully you’ll manage to get some sleep tonight ready for some good news in the morning! If I made it to Friday without AF arriving I was going to test, but thinking I will hold out to OTD on Saturday seeing as I’ve come this far! Less fear then of feeling stupid thinking it might have worked if we get to there! Either way is a home test as my clinic don’t do bloods. I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow hun and wishing you very bit of luck! Xx

[Jezzabelle in reply to Jrss1]

How did you get on today hun? Sadly For me AF has started to raise her ugly head, so tested this morning and was a stark white negative 😔 hope you had better news!! Xxx

[Jrss1 in reply to Jezzabelle]

Hi hun, awww I’m so sorry. It’s just so unfair. Well it’s not good for me either. It was negative. Pretty gutted tbh. I wish I got my AF because I feel so nauseous! Thank you for checking. xxx

[Jezzabelle in reply to Jrss1]

Awwww I’m really sorry to hear you also got bad news too. It really does suck doesn’t it! Make sure to take time out over the weekend for yourself. I’m thinking about the bath and rose wine I can have tonight! Also taking a break between cycles now as I did back to back ones last time, so just need bit of a break I think. Going to try and focus on the things I can control and get back in the gym properly! You’ve got this hun 👊🏻 Keep strong xxx

[Fizzbip]

Jezzabelle Jrss1 my test was negative too

[Jezzabelle in reply to Fizzbip]

Oh I’m sorry to hear this lovely 😔 hope you’re looking after yourself xx
