the scarry 2 week wait

teen · Post by **teen** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 11:46 pm

Hello everyone

Please can you let me know if you are on the 2 ww at the moment and how you have been feeling.

I had my ET on Wednesday and have been feeling very crampy. I had 26 follicles and was at risk of OHSS, although on the day of EC i only had 4 eggs which luckily all fertilised. 2 was popped back on the weds. Is everyone else feeling the same, i'm also hugely bloated.

would be great to hear your views.

hi teen - Just wanted to say that with that number of eggs you do run a small risk of OHSS so keep an eye on your weight, fluid retention and call your clinic if you feel unwell/nauseus. My OHSS crept up on me a few days after EC. I am sure you will be fine - keep hydrated and rest up. Good lcuk with those 2 little embies.

Like Angie said, keep an eye out for potential OHSS and keep your clinic informed. It may worsen with pregnancy, starting in about 6-8 days. hCG from the trigger can induce early onset of OHSS, while hCG produced by implanted embryos can induce late OHSS or sustain/worsen an existing case.

Hi teen,
I am also on my 2ww. I had my ET on Wednesday also. I too still very bloated. I only had 13 eggs. But my Estrogen levels were a little high. My doctor was afraid I was going to hyperstimulate but I didn't. Or at least I dont think I have.

Since the transfer, I've been feeling very bloated and heavy. I feel a little twinge or pulilng on my left side. I called RE to tell him I had slight cramps after the ET. He said that was normal because my ovaries were enlarged and will take a little time to go back to normal. He just asked that I take my weight and my temperature because he wanted to make sure I didn't have an infection.

I've also been feeling a little nausous. But it gets better once I eat something. I'm also very tired but I think that's from the progesterone suppositories.

I hope you start to feel better soon. Sending you lots of baby dust and pray that you get a BFP!

Hey due to test next weds and the nearer it gets the more negative i seem to feel. Still getting the cramps and my boobs are sore and heavy. Just feel like a period is coming, although it does feel different to normal. We dont have blood test here in the UK so have to do a hpt. I went out and bought 2 today. Need to stop myself doing them before weds although is hard. Hows everyone else feeling coming to the end of there 2ww. Plus anyone that has gone through this time and have any advice to make easier would be greatly appreciated. Feel like i'm going mad one min i'm up and positive the next down and negative. Cheers ladies take care and hope all your dreams come true.xx

just finished my 2ww and got a BFP. The only advice I can give is to stay busy and not to stress. I had a whole plan mapped out. Something to do every day. It was really hard the day before the test as my plans had to change.

Some ladies have taken naps to pass the time. Read a good book. I was more relaxed this time around. Like you one day I was all upbeat and positive and then the next day I was sad and worried. With all that said, just try your best to relax.

Good Luck and I hope you get your BFP!

wow thats superb sooooo happy for you, you got your Big Positive. Thats brilliant news. Sorry i know i sound like a scratched record but did you still have your side effects all the way through till testing day. Just really worried about how i feel, have had no discharch, and the hospital say the cyclogest will make me feel like that? but still not so sure. arrrrrah roll on weds...

Once again congrats that is such good news..

Its okay. Ask all the questions you want. That's what I'm here for!

Yup, I did have all my side effects. I still have them. But the cramps aren't really here. I dont really notice them if they are still around. lol I think it might have been my nerves more than anything. But I still feel the twinges. I still feel nauseous and hungry all the time. When I asked RE about the cramps on the day of the test, he said that's normal. He said other pregnant women have told him they felt like their period was coming.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the congrats! Hopefully I can return the favor very soon!

Taken your advice on trying to keep busy for the next through days, babysitting 2 of my nepthews today 6 & 2 so sure they will keep me busy. lol.

Thanks soo much, will let you know how i get on, on weds, although may start testing monday morning, if its bad news may help soften the blow.

Dont take the HPT! I repeat..DO NOT TAKE THE HPT! Stay away from the HPT! if it's negative it will get you depressed and change your entire outlook. You will be upseat and stressed and it might be wrong. Dont do it to yourself. Just wait. I know it's hard. Trust me, I do. But you can do it. You can hold out. Stay busy and constantly watch TV, read, talk to someone, etc. During my 2WW I noticed I thought about it more when my mind was idle. As long as I kept busy I didn't think about it.

Have fun with your nephews, I'm sure they will keep you preoccupied.

Dont hesitate to PM me or post a message if you need to talk or vent. I know what you are going thru and I would like to help in any way possible.

I wish you the best of luck and can't wait to hear about your BFP!!

Hi, sorry to gatecrash - I was wondering Teen how you got on with your result? I'm on 2 ww from yesterday and have the same symptoms as you, IE cramps etc.

Huge congratulations to you Wanna- am trying to find positive feedback on the site as only had one embie put back yesterday and I'm reading about everyone else having huge crops to take their pick from

Hi Bridget--Thanks for the Congrats!!

There are plenty of stories on this site about wonderful ladies who put back one embie and received a BFP! Remember, all you need is one.

Have Faith that your little one will pull thru and stick to the walls and grow!

Dont worry about the cramps. I still have them.

I heard it's normal. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Good Luck to you! Will be praying for you and sending you loads of baby dust!

Hey BJ gatecrash as much as you like x.

Got a BFP carnt believe it! I actually started testing on monday as i could not wait any longer as was so sure i was going to come on. I had cramps the whole way through the 2ww, and still have them now.

I only had 2 eggs, none frozen, but as wanna said it does only take one.

Any more questions feel free to ask away.

Wanna i will join you ladies in the other forum, i have my scan booked for the 21st so if you don't mind will wait till then. With not having any blood tests to confirm i wont really believe untill i see the scan. Although i have now done 4 tests all positive, still a little scared.
