TERRIBLE 2WW!!!! GOING CRAZY, 1st IVF, HELP!

[HOPE2BMOMMIE]

Okay ladies, I am driving myself completely crazy!!! I had my 1st IVF cycle transfer on the 19th with 2 amazing looking blasts and now I'm in the dreadful 2ww! My beta is scheduled for the 28th so only a few more days to go. I am forcing myself not do a HPT due to even more frustration being caused. If anyone is going through the same thing or have any happy thoughts to send please do! I wish everyone the best on their journey and baby dust to all!!

Hey HOPE2MOMMIE. I am also in the middle of the dreaded 2ww. My 3dt was 5/17, and we transferred 3 embies. My DH has told me he doesn't want me to do a HPT, so I am going to try and be strong and avoid those awful things! I think this long Memorial Day weekend should make time go by a little quicker! Or at least I'm hoping! I'm just trying to keep my mind busy thinking of other things to make time go by! Best of luck on your 2ww, and baby dust back to you!

I just wanted to wish you a lot of luck. Try to remain calm, that's the best thing you can do for your embies. I know it's hard to go through it and we all wish the 2ww would just fly by, but it doesn't. This board is great, it can keep you busy reading many posts and you will find answers to a lot of your questions.
I know I tried to figure out all the symptoms possible and see if I had them. I had a lot of them but most importantly, I felt pregnant. So many things go through our minds and it's so hard to stop it...it's really terrible.
I did not POAS as well and I think it's best, at least for me. I would be mortified if I didn't see a BFP because you might be pregnant and still doesn't show. Then all that stress is just not good.
The best is to keep yourself occupied and try to put your mind on something else.

You've got 3 more days to go...so hang in there and if you need help, let us know.
I'll have lots of positive thoughts for you and I look forward to see your wonderful results.

Valerie

Hi, I;m a first time IVFer too, and have my pg test scheduled for the 29th, a day after you! Like you, I am going crazy. In fact, I have just opened a new topic asking those who had successful IVFs to share their early pg symptoms. I have decided not to do a HPT because if it's negative, I'll be really really upset. I am trying to be neutral about the whole thing because other wise I will go probably go clinically mad! Good luck for the 28th

Thanks so much to everyone for their well wishes and support. It's nice knowing you are not the only one out there having these feelings and knowing their are others that are going through the same thing at the same time! I wish everyone on their 2ww the best. I will certainly keep everyone up to date on the results for Wednesday (it can't get here soon enough.) I pray everynight and every day before I leave for work, I kiss the pictures of the two blasts (hopefully twins, fingers crossed) that I have posted on my fridge (Crazy, I know!) I had two BFN with my two previous IUI cyles on clomid and for some reason the wait seems so much longer this time. If all else fails this cycle, we froze 3, so we will have a FET if they make it through the thaw. God be with us. Stay strong everyone and have a great Memorial day! I hope to hear of all BFP!!!!!!

Hope2 and JHarris - hang in there! just a couple more days until that BFP Beta!!!

meet some friends for dinner or an N/A beverage ( and if they don't know what's going on with your IVF stuff- just say you're on antibiotics for a UTI, that will shut them up)
I found that keeping busy by calling/meeting friends and listening to what they were up to took my mind off the last couple days of the 2ww for a few minutes- and keep up the PMA!

best of luck to you both!

cheers

Hi ladies-
I feel your pain. This is my 2nd IVF cycle but the 1st time I made it to the ER stage. I am also in the 2ww. I go in on the 30th.
The past week surprisingly went by fast. I had a few big distractions that helped me get through it. But I have a feeling that the next fews days are going to be aweful. It comforts me to know that I am not the only person going through this and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope the light is pink or blue but eitherway there is an end in sight and it is rapidly approaching.
I, like the rest of you, have read into every symptom and have officially gone insane. So I try to ignore them because I dont want to jinx myself. So if we all try to stay strong we will get through the next few days without a problem. Until the test on Friday I am trying my hardest not to look ahead. My doc told me when I first started that I cant read ahead...think of this experience as a mystery novel. If you read ahead you are going to miss important parts and distroy the ending. So take the next few days to enjoy the book beacuse we dont know what the ending may have in store for us!!

My RE told me to stay away from the HPT and of course I didn't listen! I've taken 3....all of the a BFN. I feel like my hopes have been crushed due to my own stupidity of not listening. I have my BET on 6/4 so I'm praying the tests were wrong! I've done nothing but worry since I took them..so my advice....save yourself the hearache and stay far away from the HPT!!!!
