2ww is making me tense

[Sun09]

Had my 2 embryos transferred and none to freeze. I really hope this works out for me. After trying for nearly 10 years and with unexplained infertility, I am finding it difficult to stay positive. What shall I do?

Hi Sun, I just wanted to wish you good luck for the TWW 🍀 I was in your boat earlier in the year, only 2 embryos and had them both transferred, but unfortunately it wasn’t our time. As for positivity, I found mine came and went at times all of its own free will and there wasn’t much I could do about it! One thing I did try for this last cycle was to google less, I found it really didn’t help me to stay positive if I fell down a rabbit hole checking on every twinge or other symptom when they really could mean anything. Other than that, try to do things you enjoy and be a bit kind to yourself. For us the chances of success were so slim that we’ve moved on to donor eggs now, currently on the waiting list for fresh eggs which for us was the most positive step we could take. Fingers crossed this is your time x

2ww is horrible, sorry to say. One day I was positive or better one minute I was positive then I was negative. Was very hard. Tried to take one day at a time. For me I always have a second plan in mind if one fails. I found out that helped a lot having more than one plan in mind. Was hard I though I could not survive but I did. Is very hard waiting for something, for a symptom or something that indicates your positive result. I did test on day 8 got faint line and then got crazy testing every day two or tree times a day. I believe was a huge mistake, because caused more anxiety than I though. I google a lot too, every day almost all day. I felt very crazy. So, good luck ,wishing all the best and just take one day at a time. I wish the fertility clinics could do more to help LOL like scanning every day to show us what was going on there. That was my wish on the 2WW get ultrasound every day to see what was happening LOL.

2ww here as well 🙋🏻‍♀️I had a 5 day blastocyst transferred yesterday. 2nd try at IVF. It's nerve wracking I know. I've downloaded the Zita West meditations for post transfer and 2ww so I'm listening to her calm voice everyday. £10 from her website which feels like a bargain compared to how much I've spent on injections etc.

Try to hang in there 💐
