This wouldn't be an infertility/IVF blog if there wasn't a post on the horror that is the 2ww. So here is mine, hopefully you just get the one but I can't guarantee it.
So our day 6 transfer was on Monday and today is Wednesday.. I have managed to go 2 whole days without googling anything to do with the 2ww... 2 days?!?! is that it? Man it fells like a shite load longer than that. I hate that I am so freaked out and tuned in that every single niggle and tingle makes me think that it's all over red rover.
So this afternoon I started with google. Now I know I shouldn't but it's in my personality to be in control and I hate having no control at all.
Ok, this is how bad I am, where I work I can order blood tests.. so whats to stop me going in to work on BT day after getting the clinics blood test done and doing one of my own? I mean I can get the results in 40 minutes instead of the half a day it would take through the clinic.. but do I do it or do I just be a good girl and do as I am told? Buggered if I know.
What I wanna know is how many people do home pregnancy tests during the 2ww. The real numbers, I know there are heaps who do it and don't cop to it. I have no idea if I will do one or not yet, I highly doubt if I will be able to stop myself.
I need help.
I didn't do one. I was afraid that it would be negative and I would have myself all upset, only for it to really be positive. Turns out, it wasn't positive anyhow. I think next time I will do one, so that if it is negative, it will lessen the blow when the nurse calls.
ReplyDeleteI did one first cycle but not the second time around. I was so devastated by the BFN on my first that I couldn't cope with the unknown of having to see no second line again the second time so I held off. Once I got my BFP over the phone the first thing I did was rush out and buy a test so I could see that second line for the first time. Makes me emotional just thinking about it. You must be in the 1WW now aren't you?
ReplyDeleteHey Lexa I have awarded you a blog award-you can see it on my latest post :)
ReplyDeleteI am a control freak and had to POAS as I needed to be prepared for the phone call. I was sooo shocked when I got a positive 6dp a 5 day transfer.
ReplyDeleteI hated the 2ww swinging from being positive one minute and thinking it had worked to utter dread convinced it hadn't a minute later.
