2WW - can’t stop googling!!! Lol

Hi,

this is my first 2WW and I’ve been unwell since transfer so all I’ve done is lay in bed and Google statistics 🫣😫 clinic called today to say that my other two embryos didn’t make it to blastocyst, one did but was poor quality so can’t freeze them. Now I’m worrying my day 3 transfer isn’t going to have made it either! Trying to stay positive! Anyone else had this happen? X x

Hi Carley. You may have read this before. When I first started out in the fertility field, we only did Day 2 or 3 transfers as we didn't have the expertise to grow them on to Day 5 blastocyst. We still had many happy babies born. which was great. They just take a few extra days to implant. Your little one is back inside you where he/she belongs. so kep up with your prescribed medication and Folic Acid of course, and test on the day recommended by your clinic. Good luck! Diane

Hi CarleyNo advice but just to say you’re not alone and I’m also an obsessive Googler and in the 2WW. I am 4dp5dt and it’s my second frozen transfer. Our first fresh on got a BFP but ended in miscarriage and then my first frozen didn’t work so naturally I am googling every single symptom I’ve had so far this week… exhausting isn’t it?!

So far this feels different to both my previous transfers so nothing to go by. When is your test day? Xx

Hi Sara, oh good I’m glad I’m not the only one lol! I’m also so obsessive and it is exhausting!! I am 3dp3dt! This is my first so I haven’t got a clue what to expect or what signs to look for. Sorry to hear about your previous try’s. Wishing you all the best for this round 🤞🏼

My clinic as advised me to test on 3/8/22 😬 I have extremely bad anxiety lol! I can’t put my phone down lol I didn’t realise the pressure it can have on you! What is your test date? X x

I was exactly the same on my first. I tested early at 6 days past and got a faint positive so I was a complete mess of anxiety and testing daily until official test day. Sadly I miscarried a week later, was devastated. Weirdly I wasn't as obsessed with my first frozen transfer in May but I also had a feeling early on it hadn't worked. This time I'm back to obsessing as having a few symptoms. My test day is 1st August but I'll surely cave by then. Trying to hold out till next week though. You can go a bit crazy with reading stuff, I've been listening to a podcast called Big Fat Negative. It's all about IVF and is really funny and relatable. Maybe try a podcast to satisfy thr urge to Google. Still kinda obsessing but feels more healthy haha! Xx

🤣 saying that I have been listening to podcasts not ivf ones though lol! I’m trying to block it out but I just can’t lol! I think I will wait until the date they gave me because I’m so scared what the result will be more than anything lol! I’ve gone crazy already I think I’ve got screenshot after screenshot of ivf info lol it’s getting out of hand🫣 I’m back to work tomorrow maybe that will distract me! Fingers crossed lol x x

Heya, Sorry you’ve gone down a Googling rabbit hole. I did exactly the same after my first transfer. I was Googling every boob twinge or slight tummy twinge. I think so early on it can be the meds, buts it’s like torture having to wait. I think I tested the day before ok that one & I got a negative for that transfer. I did a frozen one in January which sadly ended in a miscarriage but I decided to do some jigsaw puzzles every evening and watch some t.v and keep my phone in a different room. I actually found it quite relaxing. I’ve got my egg collection on Monday so not too long until I’ll hopefully be in another 2ww! Keeping everything crossed for you! And remember some people have no symptoms at all and they still get a positive result. X

Hey, I didn’t realise the how obsessed you can become lol! I think it’s the not knowing what to expect that makes it worse. Good signs or bad signs I’ll just never know they really are! I love a puzzle lol and I downloaded some kind games on my phone also to distract me when I’m on my own! Your mind just runs away with itself when your alone 😬 I’ve stayed off the net today, trying to focus on what will be will be! Sorry to hear about your past experiences! Aw third time lucky!! Good luck!! I’ll be thinking of you! Thank you so much! X x
