7 days left

[Hoping4thesign]

So when I had my egg retrieval, I got 5 eggs, 3 fertilised and only 1 made it to day 5, which has been transferred But I've got 7 more days left before I can test ,I can't stop looking at the photo I have of my "little bean" and feel so attached to it already! This is my first go at ivf and I really want it to work! 39 in October so don't have many attempts if any left (nhs funding)

How did you all manage to survive the waiting? Cos the days seem to be dragging!!!I keep praying that my little bean implants!

🤗💜 good luck! There’s so many posts on this in the forum you might find some advice that helps you from them (search 2WW) but honestly no matter how much I try to distract myself the last few days before test day I can hardly think of anything else so I just distract myself with work and anything at all that needs done if I’m honest 🤪 although time will feel like ages it’s not long now lovely and you will know!

Thank you for your reply! The 2ww is deffo the hardest part of ivf like! Find myself over thinking things and all sorts of random crap is going on in head!

Hi Hoping4thesign, Wishing you all the best for test day. Try and take each day as it comes and do what you feel. I like getting outside to help my mind and clear the jitters. I’ve got 3 sleeps left ‘til test day; this is our final hurrah and i’m feeling calm and positive sometimes… and then the odd crash! It happens! Today is pretty good so far! Be lovely to you. ✨🍀🤞x

I’m also turning 39 in October and we just had our first cycle which sadly didn’t take. But I can sympathise with how you’re feeling. I found throwing myself into work made the 2WW easier. I planned a few visits to see friends on weekends and tried not to have too much time alone to overthink. Good luck!!

Eee I'm actually 40 in October, but my mind all over the place. Sorry to hear that yours didn't take first time.good luck with future attempts. I think that's what makes it harder for me aswell knowing its my first time and wanting it to Happen and so scared that it fails. Taking your advice and distracting myself by meeting up with friends. Trying not to count down the days but I am lol
