Feeling low in the 2WW

Hi ladies! We transferred a little embryo six days ago, and I’m finding the 2WW really, really hard. I’m crying all the time and snapping at my husband (who is trying to support me). I just feel awful. 😞

We had our first little one in 2021 after 3 years of IVF - she was a successful FET (6 day embryo). With her cycle, I had implantation bleeding 4 days after transfer and was testing positive from 6 days. I’ve not really had any symptoms this time round, just an achy lower tummy (but that could be progesterone). I also tested this morning (early) and it was negative.

I’m in such a negative headspace and am so worried this cycle isn’t going to work. I feel so sad, and really lonely.

We had our embryo transfer last Wednesday and am also struggling with the wait. Trying not to test early but it’s so hard as I’ve not had any symptoms either. Only two eggs were collected and the other wasn’t suitable for freezing so this is our only chance with this first round.

My first pregnancy I had implantation bleed, bloating, wind, extreme thirst, out of breath …. I had the lot lol.
It did end in miscarriage and my second pregnancy I had no symptoms at all but also ended in miscarriage and were both ivf.
My sister also did ivf and she had no symptoms at all until she was 6 weeks and now has a healthy meaty 2 year old.
All pregnancy’s are different.
6 days after embryo transfer is soooo early and this is why they say don’t test early until test day because it can give a false result. x

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
