A Down Moment during 2WW

[2ndtimer]

Hi Ladies,
The 2WW is really getting to me today. I keep looking at this site, like it's going to give me the magical answer I'm hoping for. I'm not sure why today is worse than the others. Maybe it's all hormones I keep injecting into myself that's making me a crazy person.
So Fiona, did you have IVF or IUI?
LAIVF, I wouldn't worry at all about pinkish discharge with the progesterone.
Hope everyone else is hanging in there.

2nd Timer-
Boy do I know how you feel. The slightest wrinkle in the day pushes me right over the edge. Just remember, less than a week to go! Woo hoo! For me it's already night time, so five more days to go till the 5th.

Just want to say I am so glad I have this forum to support me through the roller coaster that is the 2ww. So you may not get your magic answer here, but you will have lots of caring women to cheer you on no matter what the outcome is. Rest easy tonight, and virtual hug.

Thinking positively,
Shari

Hi Ladies

I know how you feel 2nd timer, I have been working at home today and i don't know how many times I have checked this site for inspiration. The problem is that most of you in the USA are still in bed when I have been checking every 5 mins. Off to bed shortly myself. I have got it into my head that my boobs are looking bigger today - no idea if they are or not. Will have to get my DH to check them out tomorrow night when he gets home

Take care everyone,

Ros

Hi, ladies I was crushed after my last cycle didn't work and haven't been on the boards since. Sorry!

Yet, here I am in the 2ww of yet another cycle One minute I have convinced myself that it worked and the next I am so sure that it didn't. Right now I am having a positive moment, but it's so hard to judge how I feel as I have endometriosis. So, I always have weird crampy feelings going on. Believe it or not, I can't remember how I felt in the beginning of my pregnancy with my daughter?! I can't even remember what I feel like on a normal month as I have had all of these hormones pumping through me for what seems like forever.

Right now I feel a low crampy feeling, which I hope is it. Neither of my other FETs worked, but I am hopeful this time as they transferred a blastocyst. Only a single as the other one didn't make it, but I did a natural cycle without any meds for the first time.

Sorry for the long message...just need to talk to someone...I think my husband just thinks I am being negative...really I am just up and down about every thing I feel...not that I need to tell all of you how it is

Welcome brs888 & congratulations on having your daughter last year. Hopefully she will have a sibling before you know it.
Ros, I had to giggle about asking your husband to check out your boobs. I've been asking mine the same question! I don't think he can tell if they're bigger or not but I think he enjoys it anyway.
Sharishu, it's finally night time here too. I'm feeling a little less anxious now. I'm glad tom is Friday, I can use the time off from work.
Hope everyone has a good evening.

Hi Ladies,

Welcome, brs888. Congrats on your daughter (beautiful name) and lots of luck this time around.

2nd timer and Ros: Just thought I'd join the 'boobs' convo; don't know if they're bigger, but they're super achey this morning. Also, I've been mildly nauseous since last night . Sometimes I do feel nauseous with my period, so all these symptoms are just one big question mark.

Congratulations to all of us for making it one more day towards THE day.

Hugs and positive baby thoughts!
Shari

Welcome brs888 - don't worry we know exactly how you are feeling. One minute I have convinced myself it has worked and the next I am positive it hasn't. I guess none of us will know for sure until next week. All we can do is support each and wait for our results.

I am feeling mild cramping today so hopefully that is good.

Could the bigger boobs thing be caused by the progesterone?

Only 5 days to go now.... Here's hoping for the best for us all.

Hi Ladies

Well there is definitely comfort in solidaruty. It seems we are all experiencing exactly the same things - physical and mental. I do think sore boobs are good and cramping too.

Feeling very tired today. Didn't sleep very well as I felt very nauseous which I think comes from upping the progesterone.

My children are from IUI and two IVF's, in that order. I have never had FET until now but the natural cycle is definitely better. I feel almost normal though DH says I am very snappy. Nothing new there!

Sending you all PMA.

Are you still bleeding? Or has that gone away now? Good luck for your 2nd test tomorrow.

I am also feeling really tired today because i didn't sleep well last night. I am in work today which is better than working at home - less time to dwell on it all.

Feeling I am tempting fate by writing this but the bleeding stopped yesterday afternoon and hasn't started again. Fingers crossed.

Take it easy. Not long now.

Shouldn't have written that. It's started again. A brownish discharge. Sorry TMI

As agonizing as this whole thing is, it is nice to know I am not the only one going through this. Thank you for all of your kind words and best of luck to all of you.

I am purely greatfuly for my little Morgan, and didn't think it would bother me if I couldn't get pregnant again. Boy, was I wrong...I think it's that I know what it's all like now and that makes me even sadder somehow.

For those of you with the cramps...all I DO remember from my pregnancy with Morgan was that I was sure AF was coming any minute. I even argued with my doctor when she called to tell me I had a postive blood test

This is kinda gross, but I am wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them...this morning (9 days PO) I had a bunch of cervical mucus expelled. Sorry...I know that's TMI, but am just not sure if that means anything. Any takers on that lovely experience?

Hi Brandy

This extract is taken from another website that i have been looking at. This section describes the early pregnancy signs. So I reckon your lovely description of your cervical mucus is a good thing!

Ros

Mucus
You may have been charting your waking temperatures and cervical mucus while trying to conceive. If not, and you find the concept of mucus a bit icky, you'd best get used to it, because it gets worse!! Pregnancy is EXTREMELY biological, and not very glamourous! Anyway, due to the increase in blood flow to the soft tissues of the body, you may well find that not only does your vaginal discharge increase (causing you to leave snail trails all over the place), but also your nasal mucus... Nice. There are some of us who have had a runny nose since conception... It's nothing that can't be dealt with by a panty liner, although blowing your nose on one might get you a few strange looks. As long as the vaginal mucus is clear or white, and doesn't smell nasty, it's nothing to worry about. Just avoid sliding down banisters for a while.
