TWW

Ok. blah blah blah. I'm infertile, but the one of us who's gonna attempt to carry.

Did stims and an IUI. Now on the TWW. And I'm going crazy. Like it's all I can think about. (Hence why you all get treated to this post). 

 

Tell me how to keep busy? And how not to obsess.  Besides being at work.

    TWW blows.. but the less stressed you are the better. If I found myself obsessing too much, looking for pg signs and symptoms, are just overwhelmed.. I would stop, take a deep breathe, and try to accept that I had no control and just hope for the best. Some girls from my cryobanks page find https://www.circlebloom.com/ helpful. Good luck!! You can do this!

    I don't have much advice to offer, as we're in our first one, and I (the non-carrying one) am going crazy.  It's like if I stare at Fertility Finder another time today, maybe the testing date will be closer?  Oh wait, nope.
    Same sex couple TTC with donor sperm.  I am 35 and carrying.  Endometriosis and DOR.
    AMH 0.5, AFC 5-8, FSH 7ish

    IVF #1 - antagonist.  Empty follicle syndrome.  1 retrieved, 0 fertilized.
    IVF #2 - antagonist.  Ovulated early.  3 retrieved, 2 fertilized, 0 blasts

    This made me laugh out loud.  I totally do this.  Or, if I log out and log in again...?

    Good luck, OP.  2wws suck.

    today I plugged numbers into an implantation predictor.

    Then I obssessed about when my HCG shot side effects would finally go away...sore breasts. Yup. Bloating. Yup. Ovarian ouchiness. Yup. 

    Then I googled "My trigger shot didn't work" just because I convinced myself it didn't work (hence the now 3dpiui sore ovaries) 

    Oh and I did all my normal work stuff. 

    Productive. All of it really.

    Hey Maryoosa - I don't have any advice for you because I'm in the same TWW myself. This is my first TWW and I would hate to do it over and over... its stressful!

    Good luck! :)

    file this under "embarrassing but true":

    FF has this feature where you get "points" for various symptoms during the 2WW.  For example, it really seems to like creamy CM.  You get like 8 points a day for that!  We just kept entering my partner's data (temps, CM, moods, etc.) and we get to watch our points rise.

    It's based on an algorithm of all of FF's data and it's certainly not guaranteed... but it is a nice way to pass the time.

    (We're 15 DPO and have 79 points, woo hoo!) 

    The word you're looking for is SEX.  I promise.  No, it's not gender.  It's sex.  You're welcome.
