1st IVF. 2ww

Clare · Post by **Clare** » Fri Jul 11, 2003 9:38 am

I`m on day 3 of my 2ww and am climbing the walls. I just don`t know the best way of dealing with this. I`ve had 6 lost prg`s over as many years, incl 3 horrendous ectopics. This was obviously our last resort and I`m starting to feel a little bit desperate, something I promised I would never do. My energy levels have dropped because of all the emotional stress and I`m uncomfortable because I`m so bloated. Is this normal? I was told my 2 embryos were top grade and 6 out of the 10 collected fertilised, so some are good for freezing. I should feel more positive. Can anyone lend a hand in offering me some well needed advice? Good Luck to everyone else! Clare

Hi Clare - I'm on day 2 of my 2ww so I'm right here with you. Know what you mean about climbing the walls though. Just try and relax, take it easy and pamper yourself a bit. My test date is the 23rd July, so is yours 22nd?

Hi Clare.... can't offer you advice as such but just a line to say that with two top grade embryos you couldnt have a better chance so try to relax as much as you can - I know its not easy after the history you've had but all you can know at the moment is that there's every reason that this will work for you. The 2ww is awful and just seems to last a lifetime I know. You think you're going crazy - all I did was just keep as busy as possible and tried not to think about it 100% of the time (managed to think about it just about 98% of the time which I was v. proud of !!). You won't believe how many girls are keeping their fingers crossed for you - some will write but many many others will just read and say a little prayer for you and keep you in their thoughts. You'll get great support from this site, that I guarantee. Wish best wishes and lots of love - jo. XXXXXX

Hi Clare The 2ww is the hardest it really is, I climbed the walls many a time it is very hard. I read books etc and tried to keep busy but not over busy because didn't want to overdo it. I really hope you get your dream come true, keep us updated. Love Shell. 12 wks pg xx

Hi Clare The 2ww is definitely the worst part - I'm on day 4 after ET, this is my 7th 2ww (3IUI & 4thICSI) and it doesn't get any easier. You keep telling yourself not to think about it but it is impossible - I'm reading Harry Potter at the moment and I dreamt last night that Dumbledore put a charm on me to look after my little embies, I think I'm cracking up. You will get loads of support on this site - you'll also feel so many twinges and funny feelings all over that you will be trying to analyse, we all do it, you'll think AF is about to raise their ugly head. BUT we don't know what these signs are - girls have had them all and some have gotten +ive and some -ive results. We just have to hold tight. I'm determined not to do a HPT this time round - I tested early last time got the faintest +ive ever to be seen and got my hopes up just to test -ive 2 days later. This time different clinic so I've to go for a blood test on Day 12 (Sun 20th) so I'm really going to try and hold out till then. Off to treat myself to a pedicure soon to try and keep my mind off things. Stay in touch. Lots of love Jen xx
