Anyone else on their 2ww? 🤞🏽

[Ladybird_36]

Hello lovelies, after what’s seemed a roundabout year, we finally had out first FET yesterday 30th November with 1 embryo transferred. 🫶🏽

I was just wondering if anyone else is in their 2ww, would be nice to chat while the time goes by. 🥹

[Jomo27]

[Ladybird_36 in reply to Jomo27]

hellloooo, yay in finding a first timer like me ☺️, I'm only on day 2 and not sure if anything I'm feeling is 'something' or 'nothing', but I've been trying to keep busy and find fun/relaxing things to, currently lego is a good way! I hope you're doing well, how are you finding day 9? now right xx

[Jomo27 in reply to Ladybird_36]

I’m feeling good in myself been like you trying to keep occupied and busying as much as I can, I’ve had a few pains in my right side lower abdomen and was focused on it a lot thinking is this anything, so hard not to look into every single thing just hoping it’s positive it’s scary, terrifying and hopeful all in one! How are you? Xx

Hi Ladybird_36 and Jomo27 . There are a heap of us in various stages of TWW having a chat already - if you search for the post called "Chat Thread" you will find us! I'm 10dp5dt on my fourth round (FET).

[Ladybird_36 in reply to WillowPark]

Thank you so much WillowPark, I will definitely search for the post.

Me too 👋🏼 currently on day 4 after a fresh transfer. I've been feeling surprisingly calm ever since my egg retrieval last week but today I've just been overthinking and convinced myself it's failed as I have no symptoms, even though I know this is still super early and totally normal to have no symptoms.

Also happy to chat 😊 we decided not to tell anyone we were having a transfer, and it's so hard not having anyone to bounce things off while we're waiting!

Hope all works out for you

[Ladybird_36 in reply to Connie290]

Hello Connie290! ☺️ You're probably on day 5 now, since its been 22 hours, how are you? How is it going? I'm only on day 2 but also questioning everything, the slightest twinge or the sleepy feeling or no feeling, but then have to try and remember this is what everyone has probably felt and the medication is probably the biggest culprit.

I'd love to chat too, we haven't told anyone, which is so difficult because there are certain people I really want to tell but it's too early and not everyone understands, so I definitely know how you feel about not having anyone to bounce things off of whilst waiting! Sending you lots of love and luck! 🧚

[Connie290 in reply to Ladybird_36]

Yep I'm on day 6 now. So far I've not had any overwhelming urges to test, which is not like me at all haha.

I'm doing ok, I had some very minor period like cramps yesterday but they only lasted a few minutes, but other than that I feel totally normal! How are you doing? It's so hard not to symptom spot isn't it!

I just feel like the whole magic of making a baby has been ruined for my partner and I after going through all we've been through, but I wanted to (hopefully!) be able to announce a pregnancy to our family in the normal way which is why we've kept it quiet 😊 But I work for the emergency services so as soon as I'm pregnant I have to tell work as I can't risk going out and getting injured, so we'll have to announce it to family very soon anyway as I wouldn't want colleagues knowing about my pregnancy before family. It's all so confusing in an already stressful time haha!

Do your friends/family know you've been going through treatment or have you kept the whole thing to yourselves? Xx

[Ladybird_36 in reply to Connie290]

Yay for reaching day 6/7 now, I’m heading over to day 5, I’ve got a weird period cramping too, worried it might actually be period pain 😓 but trying not to think about it!

I’ve had to tell my work colleagues because of all the time off I’ve taken, but we haven’t told any friends or family, so odd right 🤣 Our test day is on our wedding anniversary so we’re hoping we have another thing to celebrate 🎉

Hope you’re still doing well today! Xx

[TravellerGirl1983]

I am too. I’m on day 4 post embryo transfer using donor eggs. The two week wait is hard. I wish you all the very best.

[Ladybird_36 in reply to TravellerGirl1983]

Hello TravellerGirl1983, thank you so much, it really is hard right, I didn't think time would be this slow but it feels like it's stopped at times! Sending you lots of luck and love! 🧚

Just finished a 2WW. It’s hard not to look into every little twinge.

Keep moving for blood flow to uterus, take extra progesterone and take magnesium alongside supplements.

[Ladybird_36 in reply to Faithful23]

Hello Faithful23, I honestly am in that place at the moment, every little twinge I'm like is this good or bad? Thank you for the advice I keep feeling so sleepy and worry about the amount of rest I'm having so going to add a short walk in every day! If the supplement has magnesium can we have another one alongside because I definitely have it separate too. Thank you.

[Faithful23]

Hey, yes additional magnesium supplement on its own particularly in IVF/FET as the content in pre-conception supplements i.e pregnacare is not enough. All the best x

[Rol81]

hello xx I had my transfer yesterday (Sat 2nd)

Feels like a week already and it’s only been a day 🫣.

Hope you’re doing ok x

[Ladybird_36 in reply to Rol81]

Hello Rol81, how are you doing?

Oh my goodness how exciting! I completely understand how you are feeling, it doesn’t get better even after day 4 🫣

I’m okay, feeling a bit crampy, but it’s so minimal that I’m not sure if I’m imagining it! 8 days to go till our test day 🤞🏽🥰 x
