Surviving the 2ww

rcraven

Hey ladies!

I had my ER last Wednesday... 48 retrieved, 32 mature and 31 fertilized.  ET on Saturday  (11/19) went well with one 7 cell and one 8 cell.

 Now my question is... How in the world do I survive the next two weeks? I go in for my pregnancy test on 12/1, but this whole process is consuming my mind.  I'm googling "signs of pregnancy after IVF", but my nurse said that the progesterone shots will give signs of pregnancy, so I can't get my hopes up even if I feel any signs!  It's so hard to get excited when you know there is a possibility that it didn't work.

Any recommendations on how to ease my mind and make the next 2 weeks go by a little quicker? I'm thankful it is a holiday week so hopefully that will take my mind off of things for a while, but this is just torture!

 Thanks in advance!

I'm in the IVF 2ww with you and here is my advice: Don't look for pregnancy symptoms because there is no way you actually have any this early.  You will drive yourself crazy and it's impossible to have any real symptoms yet.  The only thing we can do is keep busy and try and think about something else until it's time to get betas!
