3dp5dt anyone else in the TWW?

[Idknow]

Hi everyone,

currently in the TWW and driving myself mad. I am 3dp5dt and symptom spotting like crazy. So far I’ve suddenly started panicking because I have to climb several flights of stairs daily to get to my apartment and suddenly in a panic about this, panicking as I drank mint tea and ate grapes and read online that I shouldn’t have and everything else which can make me panic has pretty much crossed my mind.

So I guess, just looking for some support from fellow ivfers.

You're a little bit ahead of me, I'm 2dp5dt. But wanted to message so you have a buddy x

Hiiii!! Thank you for responding. I am 5dp5dt and feeling really worried. Back aches and cramping :/

@Idknow Are you on progesterone? If so, cramping and back pain can both be caused by it, as it mimics pre-menstruation/pregnancy symptoms. My partner who went through IVF last month and also had them on and off in her TWW. Good luck! x

I've done a lot of IVF (successful and not) and I always cramp on the progesterone so please try not to worry. I know it's hard though. I'm the opposite - anxious at 3dp5dt as I have no symptoms at all!

Thanks @nicky0 and @TheQuietestSpace it’s so hard not to worry about every little thing isn’t it? I honestly thought I’d be ok in the TWW (eye roll).
I am on oral progesterone, awful things that they are.

Tested today at 4dp5dt, nothing at all in the 2mins but just come back to it after 4+ hours and there is a squinter of a line, maybe? Or just an evap line...?

Ignore that, I've just taken it apart and the line has gone 🙄 back to thinking it hasn't worked.
