Anyone in the 2ww???

Hello Everyone, Hope you all are doing good.

I just had my 3rd round of IVF and we had our fresh transfer last Saturday and my testing date is 16th October.

Just would like to check if anyone is on the same track as me. Might feel better talking to someone who is on 2ww.

Many Thanks.😊

Hi. There should be quite a few. Try and keep busy, take all prescribed meds until the test day recommended by your clinic.. keeping everything crossed for you. Diane

Thank you Diane. We haven't told anyone this time and I guess I feel a bit lonely. Even knowing that someone else is out there experiencing the same things as we do, it makes me feel less lonely.

I'm not in the same position (currently trying clomid, not at IVF stage) but I have everything crossed for you as I know this journey is hard! x

I'm not currently on the two-week wait, but I just wanted to send you lots of positive vibes for your journey. The waiting can be tough, but you're not alone. Wishing you all the best for your testing day on the 16th – I really hope everything goes well for you! xx

hi hun, currently on my 2ww. On day 3 post 5dt. Testing on the 17th. Got everything crossed for you :) xx

NewYorkLover in reply toJB124

Hi there, thanks for replying ❤️I am 6dp5dt so we are very close. Thank you so much... sending you wishes and positive vibes.

I am trying to keep myself busy but it's been a slow week.

I did my transfer abroad and I am trying to figure out where to do blood tests that will give quick results (last time , the results came back after 7days and by this point I had biochemical pregnancy) .

Where are you getting your done?

Thanks again 😉

JB124 in reply toNewYorkLover

Aw I’m trying to keep busy but Covid has got me! So been binging off tele.

I’ve always had blood done by my clinic which is local to me. They test on the day if it’s a negative urine test or a week after if it’s a positive urine test and results are provided on the day. I know there’s ladies here who probably know private clinics that have quick turnaround time for blood test.

Sorry to hear about your biochemical. My last two were chemicals too and by the time I went for my blood test a week after the beta was too low to be viable. I hope this round works out for the both of us :) xx

NewYorkLover profile image
NewYorkLover in reply toJB124

Sorry to hear about your chemical too. Hope you feel better soon.l and your symptomps are mild.

I will try a private clinic that guarantees next day results for the blood test. I have tried with GP and EPU in the past and failed massively. So this time I will save me the stress of getting in touch with them, go privately and hope the results come back soon.

I hope this round works for us too and all the lovely ladies that are on the same boat. ❤️

💁🏻 Meee! OTD on Friday 18th 🥳 How's Ur sanity on a scale of 1-5? 🤣 Xx

NewYorkLover profile image
NewYorkLover in reply toXmishell37

I would say 3.... I am stressed, worried and all the things that I shouldn't be but I also feel numb. Like is happening to someone else and I am just watching. Are you getting blood test or HPT?

Best of luck ❤️

Xmishell37 profile image
Xmishell37 in reply toNewYorkLover

I feel a bit the same, in my last two transfers Ive ruled myself out really early because of my clear and obvious classic period symptoms and just knowing my body, I'm feeling a bit the same as last time with those symptoms so can't help but think the worst already but trying to take it a day at a time! 🙈 I'll likely do a home test on Wednesday 16th (just because I have a concert that night and would like to know before I go). I have one final embryo in the freezer and no clear plans for further rounds at this stage, it's a worrying time xx

NewYorkLover profile image
NewYorkLover in reply toXmishell37

I think I will do a home test on Wednesday morning too. I will make sure to let you know. I really hope it works this time for both of us...

Xmishell37 in reply toNewYorkLover

Sorry I didn't answer Ur question, I'll have a blood test, good luck to you ❤️❤️❤️ xx

NewYorkLover profile image
NewYorkLover in reply toXmishell37

I felt like my period was coming too in my previous transfers... I swear to god that this was the case. Both times I was wrong. First time BFP but ended in chemical

Second time BFP but ended in MMC at 11 weeks (pregnancy had stopped at 10w).

Here I am again....not feeling much apart from sore boobs (due to progesterone injections, so I can't trust it)

Xmishell37 profile image
Xmishell37 in reply toNewYorkLover

Aw I'm so sorry to hear about Ur MC and chemical it's heartbreaking 💔 I had an early MC on my first transfer (5.5 weeks) and chemical on my second, this is my 5th transfer ❤️ xx

NewYorkLover profile image
NewYorkLover in reply toXmishell37

Sorry to hear about yours too. It's the most difficult thing I have ever dealt... heartbreaking.... I have transferred 2 embryos this time, hoping that at least one is my rainbow baby.

NewYorkLover profile image
NewYorkLover in reply toDLZ321

Good luck...... my OTD is on the 16th 🤞but I don't think I will find out on the day as my clinic is abroad so I have to find another way to get bloods done in the UK.

Not sure if I should do a home test before the bloods. Part of me wants to wait for the blood and part of me wants to take a home pregnancy test right now..... 😭

DLZ321 profile image
DLZ321 in reply toNewYorkLover

Thank you!! I’m actually feeling like my test day has been booked in sooner than prior test days 😂 I think it’s 9 days this time - is that normal? My transfer was on the 8th and in the past I’m sure I’ve only done a home pregnancy test on the 10th day with bloods being on the 11th+ 🤔 my consultant told me not to do a pregnancy test but if I was going to, to wait till the 10th day at least. I’m convincing myself that if I go a day early my hcg is going to be too low and will send me down a spiral of stress. Also because it’s on a Thursday I would imagine repeat bloods wouldn’t be until the following Monday. I would say hold out as long as you can with the home testing because I imagine once you start you won’t be able to stop 😄

I’m on steroids, extra dose of Estrogen and progesterone injections for this round so I’m hoping it makes the difference! I’ve managed to get pregnant on both prior transfers but have lost them very early xx

NewYorkLover profile image
NewYorkLover in reply toDLZ321

Same as you... I have been lucky to see BFPs but unfortunately I have miscarried twice with IVF and twice with natural conception... I am also on progesterone injections and blood thinners... praying it makes a difference.

I will try and do as you said... stay away from home testing for as much as I can ... I think it will save me some stress about the line...

Re your day test, I have always been asked to test on day 11 after transfer but of course I have tested a day earlier... so I guess day 9 for bloods should be okay.... ❤️🤞❤️🤞xx

DLZ321 profile image
DLZ321 in reply toNewYorkLover

Argh it’s a real rollercoaster isn’t it! I’ve never ever seen a positive line outside of IVF, for my home pregnancy test after first transfer I remember thinking omg this is what it looks and feels like to see a positive!! 😂😂

How are you finding blood thinners? What was the deciding factor that made them suggest that to you? I did lupus and thromphilia tests that came back normal after both losses but pushed for progesterone testing which came back more on the borderline side. They didn’t seem to think I’d need thinners though🤔

In the time you’ve written this post I’ve actually sent myself down a rabbit hole and have a question about Lubion injections. Do you use any sort of alcohol wipe prior to doing it? I used surgical spirit on a cotton pad and for some strange reason I’ve decided to google whether surgical spirit is ok (because it wouldn’t be tww if I wasn’t manicly googling everything) and it seems to say not to use it with pregnancy 🤔

NewYorkLover profile image
NewYorkLover in reply toDLZ321

IVF or natural I would be happy to see a other BFP that results to a little miracle in my arms ❤️

Blood thiners are okay actually. They did blood testing and I don't seem to have an issue but I kept asking my consultant about it and he said if you are going to stress about it I will give you some... that was the deciding factor 🤣

About injections, I wasn't sure either but I guess it's safe. All pregnant women get blood tests and they use some sort of disinfection solution.

I have been some alcohol wipes but never thought to check if its safe or not. Slightly worried now... but I can't go back in time.....

I am! I am 4dp FET, our test date is 21st which seems so far away. Anyone else having to test on day 13?

How are you feeling? I have come down with a cold and other than a few twinges in the first couple of days I haven’t had any symptoms/side effects.

NewYorkLover profile image
NewYorkLover in reply toLilacfi

Helloo, my otd is 11 days post transfer if I do bloods. They said I should probably wait another day for home pregnancy test.

I have been okay, some twinges in the first couple of days and now I have really sore breasts but that's because I am doing progesterone injections (due to a history of miscarriages) .

I also feel that I am coming down with something every morning but then I feel okay... so annoying.

Are you doing bloods or HPT?

Best of luck in this tough journey 😉🤞

I am in TWW. 5 day fresh transfer happened on Wednesday 9th and I have been told to test on 20th. Progesterone plays havoc with my IBS so cramps and bloat are the norm, which adds to the stress of symptom spotting. I’ve just tried to have as normal as possible days but taking it easy and being kind to myself. Wishing you all good luck - these are the ones ladies 🤞🙏🍀💕

NewYorkLover profile image
NewYorkLover in reply toWelshies

Best of luck to everyone .... I really hope and wish this is the one .... I would love a Xmas 12 week scan 😉I am on progesterone injections which mimics a lot of the pregnancy symptomps so I can't really trust any of my symptoms.

I am trying to keep busy but I find hard sometime as I can't talk to anyone. But this forum has made it a bit easier, I am grateful for that ❤️

Hello NewYorkLover

Yes I am in the 2ww, frozen transfer I’m 5dp5dt - test day Friday 18th. We went abroad too, this is our 3rd transfer (2nd abroad). I find the first week of waiting ok and always feel quite hopeful & zen! The closer it gets to test day is when it becomes really tough for me personally, the zen goes right out the window!

Hope you’re feeling less alone with lots of us in the same boat ❤️

NewYorkLover profile image
NewYorkLover in reply toMillymolly28

I totally understand how you feel. I think I will get paranoid from Monday..

May I ask where are you getting your blood test done? I am trying to figure out what to do on Wednesday which is my OTD.

This forum is amazing.... it has helped a lot ❤️

NewYorkLover in reply toTruehopeful

I am really sorry to hear that. It's not fair and you have every right to feel the way do... You are not alone. Hope you have a good support network around you. Take it easy and give yourself all the time it needs... thinking of you. ❤️

If I get a positive hpt I’ve to get hcg & progesterone checked, we have a private GP practise down the road we’ll use. That’s the only downside with using the clinic abroad.

I see you’re on progesterone injections too, this is my first time on them too, painful little buggers aren’t they! 🫣

NewYorkLover profile image
NewYorkLover in reply toMillymolly28

Oh yes... they don't hurt when I am doing them but they do hurt afterwards. My tummy is bruised and someday I can't even stand wearing trousers.

I will try with GP for checking my progesterone level if I have a BFP... 🤞🤞🤞

Millymolly28 profile image
Millymolly28

yes exactly the same here, painful afterwards. I’m on clexane too and like yourself my tummy is so badly bruised 😖

Oh I so hope this we all get the lovely positives we deserve!

I am also on my TWW following Fet OTD 18th. Trying so hard to stay calm and busy so as to not over think. Best of luck, it Is so lovely to feel like your not alone as no one other than anyone who has been through it understands. Sending lots of positive vibes. X

That is really true... I think the idea that someone is thinking of me or will be thinking of me on my OTD makes such a big difference.

Thank you so much. Sending positive thoughts to you too. Best of luck ❤️🤞xx

Hi I am exact same dates as you :) We had fresh transfer and do a hpt on Wednesday, this is my first transfer.

Sending you lots an lots of positive vibes 🥰 xx

NewYorkLover profile image
NewYorkLover in reply toleannef88

Hi there, best of luck to you too. I really hope this is our lucky transfer ❤️😉🤞How are you coping?

I was fine until this morning. Paranoia though has kicked in and I feel so down.

My defense mechanism is to convince myself that it hasn't worked and pray that it has....

Xx

leannef88 profile image
leannef88 in reply toNewYorkLover

Aww bless you 🥰 I know how you feel, I crumbled on Friday and all I could think about is what next (if its negative) My husband is the positive one and assures me I've done all I can and I've just got to leave it down to nature 🙏🏼

I just kind of feel numb now, all symptoms I seemed to be getting has lessoned off or stopped so I now assume it was all down to meds,EC and ET and I'm on the progesterone pessaries so them too.

I do keep praying though, Wednesday morning can't come quick enough xx

NewYorkLover profile image
NewYorkLover

Your husband sounds like mine one. He says we have done the best the could , so we have no reasons to think it hasn't worked yet.

The waiting time is killing me.... my symptomps have also become milder today which I am not sure how to interpret..

2 more days and I guess we will know.

Fingers and everything crossed for both of us and all the other ladies who are in the same boat 🤞🤞🤞xx
