Anyone else in their TWW?

ambdtb

I find out Thursday. Go in for blood work at 730am and will get a call anytime between 10-4! I wil be at work. Will be so difficult to wait and then when the call comes..... I m going to be so scared. I think this might really work for us and also so afraid it might not. Any tips ???

I'm not in the 2ww but I've done about 30 of them myself!
I have no tips, it's a terrible waiting experience and that call coming in always made my heart skip a beat. Hopefully it's the last time you have a 2ww for a long while!
Good luck and Fx for you!

Thanks!!! I have done the 2WW may times too, this is my first IVF cycle so my chance for success is much higher and making this tougher for me. #-o

Yes it is, have you cheated with a hpt? If you did. Fresh cycle, you should be in the clear from a trigger shot.
I'm super impatient, always cheated. I figured if we got a negative hpt, it'd prepare us a bit for a negative of the blood test.

I am. Got a bfn today at 8dpo. =( Trying not to get down on myself but I feel pretty hopeless

I haven't cheated w a hpt. I have been so disappointed in the past I don't want to take one and ruin my positive outlook right now .... But I have thought about it. I keep going to the bathroom thinking that AF will be here. I did a fresh cycle and ovadril trigger.

@Beautifulbodysynergy I'm sorry about the bfn. Was it a Hpt? Keep your head up!!!

Beautifulbodysynergy

Thanks @ambdtb it was. It was a Wondfo hpt. I am trying to keep hope but I have been so disappointed in the past it is hard to have faith. I am crossing my fingers for you!

There is still time since you're 8DPO. It's so hard to wait. (

Hi!
I am currently in my TWW and it just plain stinks! I had my second IUI on Thursday (5/28) so I don't find out until June 11th if it worked. Unfortunately, I dont have any tips that make it any less difficult. I try to keep myself busy as possible. Also, if you can (even though I know it's almost impossible) try not to over analyze ever symptom that you have. My first IUI I did this and it drove me crazy! I'm also taking progesterone supplements which come with their own side effects so it's really tough to tell what is what. I took a HPT the day before I found out my first IUI didn't work. I think it helped me just a little bit to prepare what the blood test would be. Is still hurt immensely and was quite frustrating.

Anyways, I hope you get your BFP on Thursday!! Sending positive thoughts and vibes your way. The TWW is definitely so hard but hang in there!! ☺️

I have also read into every possible symptom in the past and it was borderline obsessive! I am definitely not doing that this time.... Especially since the progesterone like you said can also cause side affects. I have been good this time, but I could be totally blindsided tomorrow when I hear the news. I have no indication one way or another except that AF has not yet showed. Tonight I am hoping to get some sleep!!!! Since I will be at work when the call comes, my plan is to take my phone as soon as it rings and grab my purse and start walking towards the exit to my car. So at least I can be in private when I have the news and then be able to call my husband in private and have time to myself to digest whatever news I hear.

Thoughts and prayers that you'll get great news tomorrow! Keep us posted. FX for you and your husband.

Don't be hopeless! 8dpo is still pretty early.
We had two embryos transferred and I am pregnant with twins but I didn't get a positive until what is basically 11dpo. And even then it was so faint, DH looked and told me it was negative because he could barely see anything.
Just try and remain hopeful and do a test at 10po or even wait an extra day or two.

Hi!
I'm a lurker that hasn't done an official intro on this board but I'm also in the TWW. I just had my very first IUI this past Monday and I just started the progesterone suppositories. Trying to stay positive even though it's very hard to do these days. I don't have any tips for you but wanted to wish you good luck!

@eb0830 @koq2015 @Kferg092285 @MrsBwIVF @Beautifulbodysynergy

MrsBwIVF

I've been a "lurker" for a while...as in this is my 3rd IVF/ICSI cycle and the first time I've ever posted. I am currently 8dp3dt. I have not POAS yet. I'm trying to hold out. The last 2 cycles (both BFN) I POMS (peed on Many sticks) and every negative made me feel worse. We'll see how long I hold out. Blood test (aka day supposed to be on the 12th, but working late that day. In the past I've taken off on "Beta" day to give myself personal time to digest (cry uncontrollably the past 2) the results without an audience.

Hi I am a newbie on here. I am on my 2ww for my first iui. It was on 6/5, so this weekend I will either get AF or be pregnant. The symptoms are so much alike, it is hard to tell to tell, only I know this feeling as the feeling I get when AF is coming, so it's been hard for me. Praying for all of you!

Congrats @rachaa ! That has to be the best feeling ever!
