How did you feel (mentally) during the TWW?

Question

Today is the first day I’m not waiting for updates or going to appts. The only thing I am waiting for is my beta next week. I’m 3dp5dt and for some reason I am very emotional and thinking it’s not going to work. Is this a common feeling? We tried for 4 years with no luck so maybe my brain is just wired to think it won’t work? We are unexplained infertility. I would love some advice. Thanks!

Answer

Been thru the 2ww before when we tried the iui procedure. I’m in the same boat except my retrieval is Wednesday and the transfer is next Monday. I’m really nervous because it was the exact same time last year that we had our hearts broken. Was ”pregnant” for 5 days before hcg dropped. You pray for sun and prepare for rain. It’s emotional anguish x10. Truth be told, there’s no guarantee until that baby is born.   You are a warrior no less! And we are all here for you

Answer

Two week wait was insane for me. Took it one day at a time. Watched happy stuff no sad or gruesome stuff. Had acupuncture and avoided stuff I couldn’t do. Basically chilled as much as possible.

Answer

Me too. We transferred on the 5th and I get results on the 14th. I am nervous and emotional now, too. I want to blame the hormones, but it could just be the anxiety of knowing either way. I am kinda just going through motions now though, doing chores, but also watching a lot of stand up comedy specials, listening to up beat music,  eating all the stuff they say you're supposed to (avocados, pineapple core, etc.) and walking a lot. But, feeling emotional and anxious is totally normal. Good luck!
