Hi Amanda, Welcome to the site! 2ww is by far the hardest part of this whole process. I had my first attempt in June this year (not successful) and am about 10 days away from e/c for my second attempt. I thought I was going to go crazy on 2ww last time, seriously! I'm not going to be much help as I don't really know what the answer is. Lots of rest and relaxation is a big definite. Last time I organised lots of things for myself to do during injections etc, and completely forgot about planning for the 2ww. This time, I'm going to try to do a thing each day, so that each morning I wake up I have something nice to focus on (I'll be on xmas hols from work for some of this time). Wanting the time to pass quickly is so hard, isn't it. This site is fantstic, because you can always talk to someone in the same postition as you are any time - keep logging on and good luck! love, Nina

To Nina Thanks for your advice it really does help to know that there is always someone to talk to, I think finding this site has really helped me the only trouble is you get addicted i cant stop switching the damn thing on. I am due to test on Fri 13th until then i will chill and as you say find something nice to focus on every day and hopefully will have the best xmas present ever. Good luck with the injectons and e/c keep me informed. Amanda

hello amanda and a big welcome !! i think the 2ww was the hardest part.........only cause you look into every twinge pain ect. all i can say is take each day as it comes, i took the 2ww off work as i knew i wouldnt be able to focus on work. i did rest but went out for dinner alot and went to see friends ect. im wishing you all the best. beck xx

hi sammy it is good to know someone else is testing on the 13th wil keep everything crossed for you as well. i am feeling great but wake up every day wondering if i feel different but as this is my first time dont really know how i should feel. on egg recovery they got 7 eggs 4 fertilized but only 2 were any good this worries me a bit as everyone else seemed to do better than me, this is probably me being paranoid, but hey chin up it only takes one.anyway another week of chilling ahead i am of work until the 16th may even venture out and do some serious shopping a bit of retail therapy never hurt anyone. keep me informed love amanda

Hi Amanda, I am Amanda too, also new to the website. I stumbled across in my 2ww. I test tomorrow (4th attempt) and am nervous as hell. Dont worry about the number of eggs recovered or that only 2 have been put back. All I can advise is take it easy, try not to read every sign, and be good to yourself. If you burst in tears, have a temper tantrum, so be it, your allowed, this is a stressful time for all of us. Cheers Amanda

HI amanda,i managed 10 eggs,6 fertilized,but only 3 were good enough. I had 2 put back(grade 1,s)and froze one. Our fertilization rate is so poor that we freeze what we can,so i know have 2 frosties,its still not enough for fet,But im hoping we wont need to do that anyway. Im having a few pains,the odd twinge but thats to be expected. I was going to go back to work today but i have a rotten cold thats getting worse,but im only taking paracetamol(just in case) Time seems to be rolling pretty fast. You go girl and hit the shops a bit of reatail therapy never hurt anyone. KEEP POSOTIVE I have everything crossed for us TAKE CARE lol sammyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ARE

Hi Amanda, I'm in exactly the same position as you. I'm away up in Shetland and feel a bit cut off. We had ICSI in Aberdeen (this is the nearest Fertility Centre) and this is our first time as well. I had embryo transfer on Thurs 28th and will find out on Fri 13th, have been taking my progesterone pessaries reg, but feeling a bit rough, also have had period type cramps varying in intensity daily since. Don't really know what to do with myself either, I keep thinking I'll go mad by the time the 13th comes, also a bit worried about how I'll be if it's bad news. Keep in touch,(we can go mad together) Scorry [Edited by scorry on 02-Dec-02 11:40]

Hi Scorry It is good to know i am not the only one not knowing what to do with oneself. I had my e/t on wed 27th and had an injection of pregnyl on friday and that is it, no more injections and no pessaries so i just have to wait. i cant really say i feel any different, i thought today when i got up that i had a bit of stomach ache but now starting to think it is all in my head, think they will of carted me off to the funny farm before the 13th. Hope you are feeling a bit better, take care remember lots more rest as if you could forget. Keep in touch(maybe go to funny farm together) love Amanda
