The 2ww madness has started

Hello



Just to share as I know how lovely you girls are and so good with the PMA. I am now a whole 4 days after ET and the madness has started. I thought it was all going too well and was having far too much of a nice time on my 2ww watching movies and having hubby waiting hand and foot on me but today is different....today I am having major panics that I can feel AF type pains and am already on knicker alert!!



Does this phase pass or does it just get worse as I go along??? i'm still enjoying my week off work but going slightly crazy.



Mummya how are you doing? How is your sanity holding up??

  • AF pains are a good sign I'd say!! I got them too at that stage (as do many women, it seems), and it worked for me. Good luck xx
  • Hi princess deb



    It's very hard! I had a bit of a meltdown on egg transfer day I was upset for days very negative and it was awful: I even smoked one day only two tho!! ( I know this sounds funny but the second week I was admitted to hospital with severe ohss so I couldn't really think about the next week!!



    Soo many people I spoke to went through the same after et !



    Try and fill up your week off, and youl look back and think that went fast!!! I really really hope you get your bfp Hun good luck got everything crossed for you!!! Xxx
  • Morning



    Sanity What Sanity!!!!!!!



    I am slowing going mad trying to be positive but convncing myself it hasn't worked. It was hubbys birthday yesterday and that was the only day that quickly all the other days are dragging don't get me wrong i'm enjoying the rest.



    When are you planning to test?



    I have no cramps or anything

  • TBD - Thanks for the vote of confidence - I really hope that you are right!



    Gemlou, how are you? Reading your experiences of OHSS have been very educational. The clinic stopped my last cycle of IVF because the risk of me getting this was high and I was pretty frustrated at the time but now I can see why they did!



    Annette, glad you had a good day yesterday. I am actually back to work Tues, Wed and thurs next week so this will keep me busy I guess. Not ideal but will have to try and keep the stress levels down. Assuming nothing terrible happens in the mean time I will probably test next weekend/ Friday when work is all finished for the week! How about you?

  • Why why why did i just do what I did??????



    I tested I am only 6 days after a 3 day transfer obviously it was BFN. I don't know what I was hoping for I feel so negative at the min i think i was just hoping for a little faint line.



    Please tell me i'm not alone and there's still chance it could change to a positive image
  • MummyA you are defo too early to test so don't worry it means nothing! I am sure that if AF stays away then I will test early too. It is hard to feel positive all the time as 2 weeks is such a long time. I'm sure you will wake up and feel more positive tomorrow. I have been doing my Zita West CDs every day but have to admit that I find I have been barely listening the last couple of days so not sure how much good they are doing!



    Anne thanks for your vote of confidence hun. Glad you are well xxxx
  • Debbie it was awful, and iv still got it!! People keep looking at me as if they think ahhhh!! She's really pregnant I'm dreading someone asking how far goneimage!



    Glad it went well for youimage il keep looking at your posts xxx
  • Thanks I really hope it does change to positive, i listened to my cd today but not sure it went in. x
  • MummyA how are you feeling today?? No more testing I hope!! image
  • Pretty much the same trying to put a brave face on it not told hubby he would kill me for testing so early, how you doing? xx
  • hi

    thinking of you both. i had and still have got period type cramps on and off and i have been reasured its normal. what dates have the clinic given you for testing?

  • Both of our OTDs are next Sunday - a whole week today!! xx
  • MummyA - I also sometime dable in Fertility Friends and there was an interesting post on there about when you might be able to see your BFP on a HPT. Maybe this will put your mind at rest xxx



    This is what happens in a 2 day transfer:

    1dpt...Embryo is growing and developing

    2dpt...Embryo is growing and developing

    3dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst

    4dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day

    5dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining

    6dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining

    7dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining

    8dpt.. Morula is completely implanted in the lining and has placenta cells & foetal cells

    9dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood

    10dpt...More HCG is produced as foetus develops

    11dpt...More HCG is produced as foetus develops

    12dpt...HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT





    This is what happens in a 3 day transfer:

    1dpt...Embryo is growing and developing

    2dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst

    3dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day

    4dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining

    5dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining

    6dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining

    7dpt.. Morula is completely implanted in the lining and has placenta cells & foetal cells

    8dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood

    9dpt...More HCG is produced as foetus develops

    10dpt...More HCG is produced as foetus develops

    11dpt...HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT



    This is what happens in a 5 day transfer (blasts):

    1dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day

    2dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining

    3dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining

    4dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining

    5dpt.. Morula is completely implanted in the lining and has placenta cells & foetal cells

  • Just wanted to wish you the best of luck in your 2ww and hoping that everything works out for you. I've only been down regging for a week now so am still relatively calm but I absolutley know I'm going to be a deranged, knicker watching maniac by the time I get to my 2ww!!!!



    keeping everything crossed!

    How are you coping?

  • I am supposed to go back to work tomorrow (I work 3 days a week) and for some reason am really worried about it which is crazy when I have so much more important stuff to worry about! I am then worried that this worrying is having a negative effect on things and it is making me worry even more!! :?
  • God i know what you mean worrying for worrying hoping its not giving of negative vibes, work may be a good think for you to take our mind off things xx
  • How are you doing Debbie???
  • hi ladies

    try this, it helps. lie down flat somewhere dark and quiet and warm.close your eyes and breathe in and hold for 5 sec then release for 5 sec. breathe from your diaphram not your chest. picture all negative thoughts coming up from your feet to your head when breathing in and visualise them going back out down your body out through your feet when you breathe out repeat several times then lie still for a few mins.

    It really helps you relax and focus your mind xx
