February tww

[Tickety-boo]

Oh I know it’s too early for a positive, I didn’t do the test to find out if I was pregnant, just to see if the trigger was gone... and it had.

I’m not feeling much of anything now. Had all these twinges/sharp pelvic pains/back ache/sore boobs.... but that’s all gone. If I’m honest I now feel completely normal. I’m not even tired now (being off work has allowed me to catch up on sleep and that’s been a little bit of magic). I don’t feel like AF is coming. Had a lovely relaxed 3 course lunch with a friend yesterday and I sort of forgot any of this was going on (didn’t order a wine though). My test day is feb 20th (a week today) and I know I won’t test Monday - Wednesday because I’ll be in work so wouldn’t have time to process the result.

People I’ve spoken to say they go through stages of feeling like they’re definitely pregnant or definitely not. I’ve not really had a definitely pregnant moment, I mostly feel like I’m definitely not with small glimpses of hope. I’ve even spent a bit of time looking for a different donor although obviously I’m not going to buy anything until I know for certain. The post wash numbers weren’t great for this one, which disappointed me because it had never occurred to me the donor might be an issue. After all those injections, and scans every other day and all the stress trying to make it not impact work too much to find myself at exactly the stage the clinic wanted me at but the sperm to be only ok was deflating. Anyway I probably won’t use him again as a result, although the idea of choosing another is a bit overwhelming.

Good luck to us all xx

Hey tickety.

You lunch sounded lovely. I could do with one of those.

I sometimes feel pregnant then sometimes don’t. So god knows.

When you planning on testing again?

Xx

I think I know I’ll test Sunday with a first response, which will be day 12, then on the 20th as instructed (day 16).

I think we have to remember that most people who conceive naturally don’t know they’re pregnant until they miss a period. An embryo has to implant then release enough hormones to cause symptoms which it won’t for a few days -weeks. So maybe feeling pregnant at this stage isn’t really a thing. Maybe. I don’t know. That’s what I hope anyway...

Good evening ladies
I’ve just started my tww. I had a 5dt last Tuesday, so I’m three days in. Test day 25th.
I’m struggling already and want to test!!

How is everyone else? Xx

Hi harry. Welcome and congrats. The 2ww is awful. Not going to lie. Everyone says to try and forget about it. But how can you. Is this your first cycle??? 

Tickety. I’ve caved in and test!!! Now I’m mad at myself. There is a faint positive line. Should I have waited. Test day is Tuesday. Could it be a fake reading?

Xxx

Congratulations Gemma

I think a false positive seems unlikely as I’d expect the trigger to be gone if you had one (although obviously were all different, but mine has gone). A false negative would be possible but positive is probably positive.

I had a rough day yesterday. I’m super emotional, which I think is stress/hormones of impending AF. Everything made me tearful, and irrationally so, and because I knew I was being irrational I got more tearful. I’ve become convinced it hasn’t worked, which is equally irrational. How could I possibly know? But I feel like I do. Back to work for me today, hopefully time will pass quicker at least!

Hi ladies

Gemma- U can get a lot of false negitives but never heard of false positives did u have a trigger shot?

Hope u don’t mind me joining in?
Iam currently 3dpt with my first FET 2 blastocysts on board, been so positive this time except now things are starting to creep in as last cycle in October I bled on 5dpt so iam soo nervous for Monday approaching, my test day is week today 22nd, no real symptoms and haven’t had any off the progestrone neither, I keep getting like a stretching feeling in stomach and niggly back and just totally drained but that cud be with AF being due normally, I’ve never hoped and prayed so much for this to work as they were my only frozen embryo’s I had and next time it wud have to be a fully fresh cycle again and in October I was really poorly with my cycle so getting very anxious
Hope u are all well
Xx Kelly xx
