2WW: going absolutely nuts
Show your support
@JessOh, it’s such a minefield isn’t it?! I’ve had a bit of cramping the last two days. Keep flipping back and forth about whether that’s the end of it or it’s a good sign, or whether just to ignore it altogether. Work definitely helps when I have meetings, but if I’m just doing emails / focus work I can’t concentrate at all! I gave up early today and just started watching crap on Netflix. Good luck for Friday!
I’m in the same boat! Just bloated at the moment. I was lucky enough that my previous transfer was successful so I’ve been kept busy by my toddler which is helping but as soon as he is asleep I’m climbing the walls 🙈
Yes!! I’m on day 10 and totally lost it this morning. Have an awful headache that won’t go away and started feeling cramps, so just starting crying thinking it was all over. Work was quiet today which made it even worse too. I went for a walk at lunch which helped and bought myself a big bun from the bakery to cheer myself up. Test day is Friday so I’ve just filled tomorrow and Thursday with meetings all day to try and keep myself distracted. Is that an option for you to try and make work busier the rest of the week? Not sure how I’m going to get through the evenings, I need to stop obsessively googling everything!!
It must be so hard, sending you lots of love!!
🙋🏻♀️ my test day is Saturday! I’m going from positive to negative to depressed and anxious to happy again 😩😩😩 I’m emotionally exhausted
@Sarah Yes, I think a busy work schedule is key! I’ve just remembered I’ve booked a haircut for tomorrow evening after work too. So that should keep me distracted. Just need to work out some options for the other evenings… Good luck for your test on Friday! X
@Ambra it’s so tough, isn’t it? But it’s really helpful hearing from others who are in the same boat. Fingers crossed for the both of us on Saturday! X
Hoping people are starting to receive some good news from tests now. I’m really struggling in this 2WW and am considering testing today (3 days early).. did anyone else test early?
@Mabel I’m being good and waiting till tomorrow, which is the day I was told to test. I have started to have a tiny bit of brown spotting though so not feeling particularly positive tbh 😔 I hope others tests have been good news! X
I’m going to wait until tomorrow too, official test day! Today I have zero symptoms so I’m getting a bit sad 😞
@Ambra no symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean no pregnancy. I got a positive during my last round (although ended in early MC). I had no symptoms before that positive test. Fingers crossed for you! X
Thank you @Emma ❤️
Hi all, unfortunately my period arrived yesterday before I made it to test day 😭 I hope you all have better luck 💛
Sorry to hear that @Sarah ☹️ I caved and tested earlier (8dp5dt) and it was negative. Really trying to tell myself it could still be positive on official test day in 3 days time but I’m feeling pretty deflated and sad too

@Mabel oh no that’s an awful limbo to be in! Day 8 might still be too early, it’s so hard to know. It can be so hard to stay positive, but there’s definitely still some hope there I think 💛 Will you test again tomorrow or try to wait to Monday?
@Sarah I think I’ll wait until Monday now. I am just going to have to keep myself busy. The 2WW is torture. Hope you’re doing ok and looking after yourself x
@Sarah sorry to hear that. Hope you are looking after yourself 😘 I did my test this morning (12dp3dt) and it was negative. So sad but we are trying to stay focused for our next round. I’m just gutted we only got one embryo so I have to go through all the stims again 😔 @Mabel hope it’s more positive news for you when you retest on Monday x
@Emma so sorry to hear that. It’s so hard to think of the road ahead, you can do it though and it will be worth it xx
@Emma so sorry for you too, it really is just heartbreaking 💛 all we can really do is focus on the next steps and hope the next round will be better. It seems so much of it is just down to chance/ luck doesn’t it? Sending you lots of love xx @Mabel it really is horrendous. You can do it though, only 1.5 days more to go!!
@Mabel how did you get on today? xx
@Sarah negative unfortunately 👎🏽 I have a couple more frozen embryos left so will try again in the next couple of months. It feels so deflating and empty to see a blank test doesn’t it. Holding out a lot of hope for us all if we get another opportunity though
Sorry to hear that Mabel. Fingers crossed for all of us that next time will work 🤞
Ah sorry Mabel, it’s just miserable isn’t it. I’m trying to get my mind back into the hope zone to try again but it’s not easy is it!! Hope you’re ok 💛
I’m with you. It’s my 5th and I know all the stuff - cramps could be good, bad or the drugs etc. but bloody hell. Struggling. Beta is on Friday and I can’t believe how far away that seems. I’m trying to get stuck into work and tv series. I’m too tired to go for lots of walks, which usually helps me.
