Anybody else in TWW?

[NL2019]

Just wondered if anyone is currently in their TWW at the moment to support through this agonising time!!

We had a frozen transfer yesterday, our fourth but so far best graded embryo 5AB and they told us to just manifest positive thoughts, which I’m trying my best to do!!

I think I’ve already turned paranoid as whilst I saw them draw up the embryo, as they moved away there was a dot left on the screen which has now led me to convince myself that they may have left the embryo behind and dropped it out of the pipette somehow! I keep telling myself I’m being silly but it does keep crossing my mind!!

I’m normally a very sane person I promise, but ivf is a whole new ball game!!

Just wondered if anybody was in same time period so we can help each other though the wait?! Our OTD is 4th November! Xx

Hi. Bleeds you. You’ve been through this lots already. Remember your official test day and try your best to stick to it. Keeep busy and keep up with all prescribed medication and drink lots of water and eat pineapple core. All the best. Diane

I’m in my waiting period too, so completely know how paranoid you can suddenly become.

I had my panic last week and am consciously trying to stay busy or stress-free, but that’s easier said than done.

As my best friend told me, be kind to yourself!

Our OTD is tomorrow and I’m trying not to get nervous and remain positive.

Feel free to reach out to me. Wishing you all the best xx

Thank you for the replying, I think the paranoia has settled a little and just doing my best to distract myself and resist testing!

How did your OTD go? Hope it was positive news xxxx

Thank you for the reply, I definitely see a line there, have you retested since?

We’re on our fourth transfer and I can’t even begin to imagine how hard 11 must be. I have everything crossed for you xxx

I tested this AM 10dp5dt & had a positive but it’s a weak line. Hoping tomorrow it’s stronger. Xxx

I am in my waiting period too! 2dp5dt. My OTD is on November 1st. 🤞

[NL2019 in reply to Ivflady]

Oooo very close, I’m now 5dp5dt and whilst the paranoia has calmed down somewhat I’m now constantly thinking about testing but can’t bring myself to do it as don’t want to burst this bubble!

How are you getting on? Xxxx

[Ivflady in reply to NL2019]

Hi, Same here. 7dp5dt today. I am always thinking about testing but I will try to resist until the morning of OTD. I just want to stay in a good mood until the result comes out.

[NL2019 in reply to Ivflady]

I caved! Took one Monday night and got a very faint positive and yesterday morning got a clear definite positive! Trying to stop testing now until OTD xx

[Ivflady in reply to NL2019]

oh wow! Congratulation!!! Stop testing and enjoy your pregnancy =) When is your otd?

I’m in the waiting period too! My OTD is the 3rd Nov! This part is definitely the hardest part so far! I’ve convinced myself of lots of different things.

Hey I am a week into the 2ww, this is my 5th 2ww and it never gets easier or less crazy! I'm currently re-watching American Horror stories and doing some jewellery making to take my mind off it. I tried out a few different crafts and hobby things early on in my IVF journey and found that as jewellery making is quite fiddly you have to concentrate so much that while doing it you can't really think of anything else. So my advice would be to try a new hobby to take your mind off the dreaded wait. Good luck x
