Hi all,
I was having cramps, sore boobs and bloated feeling under boobs and stitch on right hand side of body but all these stopped today 9dp5dt. I’m actually worried as at this exact moment I have no symptoms which I’m thinking is a bad sign - today was supposed to be my usual period start date - are a change of symptoms meaning it is failed implantation ? I did not have implant bleeding that I could see.
Hi lovely, don't worry about symptoms or a lack of symptoms during the 2WW. Any symptoms you feel or felt during that time are from the treatment and not from a potential pregnancy. I never had any implantation bleeding at all for any of my pregnancies. Only the test on OTD will be able to tell you if you're pregnant. Best of luck and hang in there xo
thank you LuxFleur for you kind thoughts and reassurances again. like many in the dreaded, 2WW, I feel like I’m going crazy and am questioning every choice I make (should I eat that chocolate bar, drink that can of coke), did I jostle or bump the embryos lose after stumbling lots of times (I’m honestly annoyed with myself that I am this clumsy) - I know logically it’s most likely hormonal, but logic goes completely out of the window when the stakes are this high and the want is so desperate. Fingers crossed, and heaven’s blessings to all that are going through this, best wishes and a thousand thanks, xxx
I know what you mean. I agonize over whether to have an ice cream or not, whether getting irritated for five minutes somehow will ruin the whole thing. It's totally normal. xo
2ww is the worst form of torture!!
completely, right! I try not to get my hopes up - as in my 40s - so am downplaying it in my mind. I feel like my womb is empty - not sure if that’s intuition, application of logic, or just driving myself crazy …
Hello lovely. So sorry you're finding the change in symptoms disconcerting, but it usually doesn't mean anything either way. As others have said, most symptoms so early are just the meds. And I found that even if you do get pregnant, symptoms are liable to come and go from one day to the next!
thanks Redsequin, for your kind words, this community is super 💕 💕 💕
Sending you so much luck for test day. We are here for you whichever way it goes. Xxx
In my experience, I did not have any symptoms. It was like after they told me I was pregnant, and when I needed a second blood test on the 5th week (around 3 weeks after FET), that I had some cramps. But nothing very remarkable. Nausea started almost at week 7th. To my understanding, no symptoms or many symptoms on 2ww don't mean anything. The symptoms should be the same as the ones you get in the 2 weeks before your period... sometimes you get many, sometimes you don't. What causes this, is progesterone. And progesterone is high before your period, and also in the 2ww (because of the treatment and also because it is before your period), and when pregnant. The real difference, comes in the weeks after. I was always driving me crazy with symptom spotting... but it really just means, in this stage, a generic thing like "high progesterone", and not if you are or not pregnant.
The most important thing now is to be kind to yourself. Don't be overly strict, don't try to be perfect, and just do things that make you smile, as often as you can 
thank you Maria for taking time to write. I gave in and did a test before OTD - it’s a BFN - I knew the chances would be low but I was really praying for a miracle … will test again on OTD but writing’s on the wall (or strip in this case). Thanks again for support
Ah oh no. So sorry to hear this. How are you holding up?
hi Redsequin,, thanks for checking in, it’s very kind of you and it’s much appreciated. I’m ok. Mood is low, like many I’m sad and disappointed (and broke!) but intending to try again at least one more time. I tried to keep expectations low but it’s hard not to hope and think it has worked and then be disappointed. Its hard as I don’t know why the embryos failed to implant - I know I missed/messed up the medication, drank coke, ate sweet deserts and was super stressed so am wondering if I blew my chances but hindsight is twenty- twenty and it really could have been anything (including age related abnormal chromosomal development). There is nothing I can do as it’s in the past so need to pull myself together and forge ahead At least I can have a (small) drink now to chill. Wishing all ladies on this platform the bestest good positive vibes and 💕 , hugs xxx
