Wondering is anyone else in the TWW and driving themselves crazy obsessing over every little symptom??
I’m 8dp5dt and doing everything I can to avoid taking a pregnancy test…my beta isn’t until 27th so I just couldn’t cope with testing now and still having to wait a week for bloods - I couldn’t cope with seeing a BFN and if I was lucky enough to get a BFP, I’d then be into the daily testing craziness!
Symptom wise last week was a nightmare as I had OHSS and was quite unwell, but my clinic have advised that this should not have any bearing on the outcome of this cycle…
What I’m getting worried about is that I’m starting to feel like I do when my period is imminent…that really dull achey feeling and the odd twinge. I can’t stop feeling like things aren’t going to go well…but I can’t bring myself to do a test and find out for sure!
It’s going to be a long week!
Just wondering if anyone is in the same boat…?

I am in the two week wait 7dp3dt and have no symptoms at all, had some sharp left side pains that came and went on Friday/Saturday but nothing since. I’m finding it so hard not to compare to previous cycles. You are doing well with not testing, I have already tested at least 15 times, but I started early to test out the trigger! Testing early makes it so much worse!
I’m driving myself crazy trying to remember what previous cycles were like, but I’m pretty sure my symptoms have been different each time! The things we put ourselves through!!
I’m also in the two week wait, 9DP5DT and test day is tomorrow. Today has definitely been the worse day, very negative mindset and quite emotional, convinced it’s going to be a negative tomorrow 🙈 That said, I’m glad I haven’t tested early as think I would have found getting a BFN early really hard to cope with x
I knew from previous experience that it’s better for me to live in the anxiety of not knowing than getting a BFN…and also knew that getting a BFP would not stop me testing daily until my beta!
Hoping that you get a positive result tomorrow MiniCeeCee xx
I’m about to jump back into the dreaded 2ww for the 5th time. Each time my symptoms have been different and I’m finding the more I carry on the more symptoms I get from meds. It’s so so hard to try and ignore symptoms 😢
I agree with not testing early as for me a BFN I’d rather put off and live in the PUPO bubble a bit longer. I think with a BFP now I’d also be anxious too. I caught a chemical at 8dp5dt that showed on BETA at 9 days but no line at 10 days. I’m pleased I saw it though as for me it was better than a flat out BFN. I’m planning on testing at 8 days again then again on my OTD at 10 days.
I understand fully how you feel! If you look at my google search it is all about questioning symptoms. This is my first embryo transfer. So all very new to me. I am like you, not testing until they told me I can as think would drive myself crazy otherwise. (I had transfer of a 5 day blastocyst on the 13th and allowed to do a urine test on the 23rd and then bloodtest at home on the 26th). Everything I feel I am convinced it is my period coming. However I keep telling myself that is the progesterone as when searching that is the main answer I get and that makes sense. I guess we don’t know until testday, these 2 weeks feel so long though!
