Hey.

I am in the 2ww and struggling so much this time, much more than usual!! I'm only 5po ish. I feel so stressed and like time is going past so slow. I've even tested 🤦‍♀️ which I know it's far too early so don't know why I even done it 😂. I don't think it has worked this month I don't know why I just feel I know. Is anyone else in the wait?? How do you cope ? Xx

Hi Ladies, please can I join? I’m currently 6dpt with a 5day blastocyst. Clinic have said not to test until day 14 which feels like a long wait 😳 Hope you’re all getting on ok.

pennysays · 28/12/2021 17:08

Hi all. 11dpo today. Temp should normally drop by now but is still up so not out yet. All BFNs so far which makes me feel mad. DP all just like “think about something else…” ok!!!

2mumlife · 28/12/2021 17:59

@Agapanthus13 Thats a long wait. My clinic would normally have me in for blood hcg 10dp5dt but they're closed that day, and they've just told me to POAS instead (I think if its positive though they'll then get me in for bloods when they reopen but not sure)

2mumlife · 28/12/2021 17:59

@Agapanthus13 And the POAS was to still be 10dp5dt

Agapanthus13 · 28/12/2021 19:34

@2mumlife that’s quite a bit earlier! I was half thinking I might test on 10dp5dt but we’ve friends staying for NYE so I think 11d would be my possible earliest. I should have asked my clinic about bloods, they just said POAS d14 & call with results. What day will you be testing?

Agapanthus13 · 28/12/2021 19:40

@J90A you temp chart looks really promising! Are you on any meds? I’ve tracked my Basel temperature for years but stopped during treatment as I was unsure if it would still work with ivf meds, wishing I’d tracked it now, darn!

2mumlife · 28/12/2021 21:29

@Agapanthus13 I'll be testing 31st so 10dp. We're not planning on doing anything for new year. Blood really depend on your clinic, my clinic do it as standard but many don't and just use POAS

J90A · 28/12/2021 22:12

@Agapanthus13 I'm on clomid 12dpo I think. I had a failed attempt at bbt last month so is my first proper time charting from the beginning. I've became obsessed. Sometimes find myself waking up in the middle of the night checking my temp🤦‍♀️😂. I think I might be out now tho. Xx

Sorry to hear this. It is all so stressful x

MrTumblesEyebrows · 28/12/2021 22:43

I'm also in 2ww. Had a miscarriage last month so I'm extra anxious and also really angry with the world. This two weeks is actually making me really depressed when I'm not distracted by something else. I'm 5dpo so too early for symptoms but I'm reading into every. Little. Thing. I decided that if it doesn't work this month I'll just stick with the one baby I have because I've had so many miscarriages I can't keep doing this... so no pressure 😬

Good luck everyone 😊

J90A · 28/12/2021 22:58

@MrTumblesEyebrows is so stressful isn't it!! I feel exactly the same!! Xx

@J90A sorry to hear that. How long have you been on clomid? You’ll get there eventually I’m sure. Are you also LH testing to help pinpoint OD? Not sure if it’s any help, but the app I use says to take your temp with the same 2hr slot each morning & says you need to have not got up or woken up in the 2hrs before that. To be honest, your graph is looking pretty spot on though, looks like you’ve done a good job testing!

@MrTumblesEyebrows sorry to hear of your miscarriage. Fingers crossed this month is your one!

@2mumlife that’s exciting, not too much longer for you to wait. Have you transferred before?

J90A · 29/12/2021 08:09

@Agapanthus13 since June. I only two months left I think.

Temp dropped a lot this morning and AF was there soon as I got up. Don't know how much longer I can take x

@J90A aw I know, it’s so tough with massive lows along the way. You might find speaking to a councillor helps. If you’re currently with a clinic they should have someone you can speak to otherwise your GP might be able to refer you. Hang on in there x

Really sorry to hear that 😞

J90A · 29/12/2021 09:02

@Agapanthus13 thank you ❤️ I have been referred I called today to find out how long it will be.

@MrTumblesEyebrows good luck fingers crossed you get your BFP! Xx

2mumlife · 29/12/2021 09:18

@J90A Sorry to hear AF came. Fingers crossed for next time for you Flowers

@Agapanthus13 Unforutnately I've been doing this for a long time now. 4 IUIs (all BFN), 1 fresh transfer (AF came only 5dp5dt, gut wrenching), 1 FET that ended in a chemical pregnancy in June. Another egg collection (freeze all) and this first transfer from the second egg colelction (third transfer overall)

pennysays · 29/12/2021 10:07

@J90A I feel you. Sorry about AF. I think my temp dropped today as well so AF probably coming tomorrow. Feeling very gutted about it.

pennysays · 29/12/2021 10:08

@2mumlife you’ve really been through the ringer haven’t you. Sending love. It’s so hard

2mumlife · 29/12/2021 10:27

@pennysays Thank you. Whole thing is bollocks - I'm only 32, normal everything. It shouldn't be this damn hard.

Agapanthus13 · 29/12/2021 10:34

@2mumlife sorry to hear you’ve been through so much, this whole journey is so cruel. On the plus side, that’s great your body can get pregnant- it will remember how to do it again.

I’m on a FET this time but no frosties left, think that’s why I’m so happy not testing as don’t want to think about going through egg collection etc again. Only this embie survived the thaw so hoping it’s a fighter 🤞🏻

Pinkmini21 · 29/12/2021 11:09

Hey, can I ask your opinion on something... I've been spotting now since Christmas Eve only when I wipe it's a little pink. But it's not constant. I'm not due in until 2nd Jan? Any suggestions as to what it could be. I usually spit 2 days before my period but this is not normal. Thanks x

2mumlife · 29/12/2021 12:29

@Agapanthus13 Totally get you - I really didn't want to go through egg collection a second time. Actually, I found the second egg collection just a lot easier to handle, I think just because I knew what to expect the second time around. I'm also a bit hesitant to test - I just don't have the energy for another negative test.

@Pinkmini21 Implantation bleeding is usually brown and watery and only lasts a short time. Bleeding / spotting is very common though in early pregnancy. Also, if you're on progesterone it can cause cervix irritation and bleeding.

Pinkmini21 · 29/12/2021 13:07

@2mumlife thanks. I'm not on any medication just natural at the moment. But I never spot for this long. I'm expecting disappointment, but I keep looking online and it's driving me mad. I tested early and it was negative which isn't surprising. I guess I'm just wondering if this is encouraging or not x
