Hi everyone. This is my first time posting something, so be kind.

I'm in a similar situation - I've just completed an IVF cycle and am mid-2ww to find out if it was successful (test date 11/02). I think I'm going out of my mind with the waiting! DH works overseas, so I'm dealing with this on my own.

I keep thinking I'm having 'pregnancy symptoms' but it could just as easily be wishful thinking...

I've got a DD from a previous successful IVF treatment, so she helps take my mind off it, but its hard to think about anything else. And I'm worried about how I'll cope if the test turns out to be negative.

Any suggestions for passing the time and retaining my sanity? My rational brain knows its only 2 weeks, but the rest of me is screaming in frustration!!!!

mm welcome to mumsnet! When are you due to test?the 2ww can drag, but I've been taking each day as it comes. Trying to find a reason to be positive for little things. I think I'm due my period tomorrow as I had severe cramping two weekends ago, which I think was ovulation. I've made it through this week without testing, mainly because I really don't think we've managed to have enough sex this cycle. But I haven't spotted at all this week which I'm taking to mean that at least my luteal phase is a good length. If I don't come on tomorrow then I think I might still wait a couple more days before testing as it's possible I haven't ovulated at all this cycle.

Good luck with your 2ww.

Thanks digitalgirl! I am supposed to test on Thursday, although I suspect if I'm not pregnant my period will come on in the next few days before I make it to the test date.

I've been feeling quite negative this weekend and all those pregnancy symptoms have now turned into symptoms my period is about to arrive - which could just as easily be imagined!

Crazy - I usually complain that life is running past me way too quickly, and then these 2 weeks are absolutely dragging!
