LTTTC Two Week Wait - Dec to Jan

[WaitingAwaiting]

Hello there!

I'm not a TWW right now (but maybe soon!) but thought I'd sa hello and wish all the embies GOOD LUCK on their journey!





Positive, happy, sticky vibes to all!!

Thanks WaitingAwaiting. I need everything I can get!

I hope all is going well with you. I've only had the embies in for a day and already I'm starting to be concerned. I've had mild cramping on and off all day. As far as I know, cramping is not a good sign, is it? Isn't it your body's way of trying to get rid of what's inside your uterus? *sigh* I can't believe I have another 13 days of this. I'm going to go completely insane.

Thought I'd give you TWW'ers a giggle.

I was driving to work this morning and realised "You know when you're TTC when...you see car number plates that contain letters like CM, DTD, BD or BFP and wonder if they're some kind of sign..."



Maybe it's just me but hope it put a smile on your dial

Thanks for the chuckle WaitingAwaiting! Just what I (we all) need.

Here’s one for you. You know how women talk about getting “Baby Brain” and they get all forgetful and do silly things? Well, I’m 2 days into my TWW and already I’ve started. I went to work today with my shirt on INSIDE OUT!! Arghhhhh!!! I’m totally blaming the twobies (2 embryos), even though it’s completely illogical. And yes, I’m laughing at myself.

Feeling much better today as I spent a ridiculous amount of time on the net last night and discovered that there are loads of women who have mild (and even severe) cramping in their tww and they were pregnant. Some even after the tww. It’s just another thing that we need to try not to focus on or make a big deal of. Which is what I’m going to do. I’m letting it go. You can’t see me, but I just brushed off my hands to signify ‘I’m letting it go’.

How's everybody doing today?

[WaitingAwaiting]

Hahaha too funny - but I do that without a TWW! lol

here's hoping you have twobie brain!!

Glad you're feeling better today! I'm doing ok- looking forward to my FS visit on Tuesday (but that's another thread!)

Hi there to all,

I haven't been on here in absolute ages but thought I would take a peek for old times sake. I wanted to reassure Moonflower about the cramping. I too had awful amounts of cramping after ET. I would frequently wake at around 3:30am and beg DH to get the panadeine and heat pack for me (even though acupuncturist told me to stay away from it). I would say at times it was agonising and it really played tricks with my mind. As it turns out, I got my BFP that cycle as did a colleague who was seeing the same FS as me and was a few weeks behind me. Try if you can to stay positive. IMO the 2WW was the most difficult stage of the TTC/IVF process. I even called my clinic and begged to have my BT moved forward as I was sure I was going to lose it at a child at work (i'm a teacher). Do what you can for yourself in terms of being relaxed and in a good headspace.

Best wishes to all in this thread.

Thanks for that Tauren78. It does help to know that I'm not the only one and it's not necessarily a bad thing. I will take your advice and keep a level head.

I've had a moments today where I start to obsess and DH brings me right back to reality and I'm all good again!

I hope all you ladies out there are doing well and having a good, relaxing weekend.

Cheers
Moonflower

Hey Moonflower you ain't here on your own anymore...you have me to put up with!
As you know already, I am 2dpET, and I am having cramping too. Actually cramping would be the wrong word to describe it, it is more like a pinching feeling on the inside, just today, like every now and then someone gives me a good strong pinch, and it hurts! Had some mild cramping yesterday too. Oh im going nutts already.
I hope the cramping for you atleast eases for you XXX

Every twinge seems to be a reminder of what we are trying to ignore ATM!!!

I have no idea how I am going to survive the next 2wks. This is agony.
One minute I feel positive, the next I am terrified of the heartbreak, but I guess so many women have been here, and did it with stride.

FGS shall be joining soon too!

WaitingAwaiting you got a smile outa me!X And yes, I do that.......

Taurean, thank you for your advice and reassurance, very much appreciated X
