I actually can’t believe I am half way through already, 6dp 5dt.

how do I feel 🤷‍♀️ Honestly no bloody idea 😂

Ooo there’s a wee period cramp maybe I am or maybe it’s the meds. My head hurts a bit maybe I am or is it the meds … my back aches a wee bit ooo maybe but then there’s no boob ache so maybe not 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I swear if you let it this 2ww would drive u crazy. I’m not gonna let it do that. Soo nice walks a good movie and try to relax. There is absolutely nothing I can do to make this work I just have to hope that this beautiful embryo wants to stick around xxx

Well done for hanging in there I'm on exactly the same day as you. I've felt quite dizzy on and off today and have had quite the headache. Again that could just be the progesterone talking!!

Keep up the self care, you've got this! Sending you baby dust!! Xxx

baby dust to you too. I’ve had a few period type cramps, wee bit of groin pain and an achy back all of which could be the meds 🤦‍♀️ I don’t think there is any telling really just hoping xxx

You are doing very well! Just a few more days left they'll fly by especially with having lovely walks 🤣🤣🤣hahahahha

The 2ww is the second worst part from the whole IVF process its like a bloody torture isnt it 🤣 but what can we do, sit back, relax and hope for the best. I actually found out not testing early makes the 2ww less anxious and stressful.

Millions smile, hugs and positive vibes your way 🤗🤗❤️🤗🤗❤️🤗🤗🍀🍀🍀🍀🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗

You are doing okay, I understand the anxiety and all chaos. Few more days, would pass by. I had all cramps which was sort of tugging and pulling. Had backache, tiredness and I had pms feeling on day 12 thru 14, I did freak out a bit. I was on shots and meds. Didn't had any other typical symptoms of pregnancy but the result came as positive. So just hang in there. Good luck.

it really is I feel like I’m slowly losing it. I am cramping but no sore boobs or anything. Because the meds gives side effects it’s really hard. Otd is Monday. How have you been feeling xxx

welcome to day 7 ivf warriors. We have so got this. Keep positive and keep being kind to yourselves. I had some tests arrive in the post this morning, I'm going to have to use all my willpower not to do a test today!!

Runninglady87 in reply toBoo718

I've been feeling quite dizzy and lightheaded, crampy, a bit emotional and constantly starving! What about you? Xxx

Boo718 profile image
Boo718 in reply toRunninglady87

I’ve been crampy. Had a few hot flushes but then last night I was cold. Windy and a bit emotional today. No boob ache or spotting at all. To be honest I think I’m just done with it. Getting our hopes up only to be shat on from a great height. The idea of having to go through it all again is literally like … shoot me now! But won’t know till Monday so chin up head held high and on we go 😂 hope your managing to keep busy xxx

Runninglady87 in reply toBoo718

Hahaha I'm surprised my fiance is still up for the big day with how I've been!! We're getting married in January, I am so excited. I've got a fab dress which is tummy friendly if needs be!!

I started going a bit crazy this afternoon with Dr Google so I've just taken myself for a wee walk round the block. How are you getting on? Xxx

Boo718 in reply toRunninglady87

I don’t really get sore boots when it comes to periods and stuff but I keep hearing sore boobs … nothing mine are totally fine 🤦‍♀️ Google is a dick xxx

wishing you lots of luck. Xx. I’m on day 3 post transfer. First time. Bit crampy but probably the hrt! Nothing to compare to. Single woman aged nearly 43….🫣

Purple276 in reply toLipe79

I'm on 3dp today too! I've done this a few times and genuinely no way of knowing if the symptoms are the drugs or the embryo making itself comfortable. Keep hanging in there and set yourself markers to get through the 2 weeks and wishing you that exciting news x

Lipe79 in reply toPurple276

oh and you too. So you’re testing on the 7th October? That’s my sorely missed late mums birthday so I’m hoping it’s a little sign from the angel nanny. Best of luck x

Purple276 profile image
Purple276 in reply toLipe79

My OTD is the 9th - our clinic seems to have a slightly later date so will see how I get on and if give in on the 7th instead! Sure your Mum will be looking down and sending you angel nanny love xx

Lipe79 in reply toPurple276

thank you lovely, I think she will be. I can try again on the 9th too if it’s a BFN. I asked my fertility midwife if it’s possible I can test a bit later if I get one and she said there’s no point. So I feel like I have a second chance now 🤣 Thank you! I pray we are due date twins 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Xx

It drives me totally crazy but here we are again impatiently waiting! Sounds like you are doing amazingly making it over half way. I definitely agree cant change it so lets just hope the embryo is getting comfy.

Wishing you good luck for Monday xx

Hope you are getting on okay, Boo. Not long to go now! Hang in there. PS I never got sore boobs before my BFP (and was suuuuper worried about not having them) or even through the pregnancy so far; not everyone is a sore boob gal 😜 ✨

Boo718 in reply toRedsequin

aww thank you that actually makes me feel a bit better. The 2ww is a mind fuck 😂

Redsequin in reply toBoo718

It really is. I felt like my mind had literally melted. Lots of lovely food and being super gentle with yourself is the only way through. xxx
