Yes it is a little easier than those past 5 days. Going away is a great idea.. put your feet up and enjoy it!

My books have started aching since yesterday which is always a sign she's about a week away. Seems like she's running on time.. I just hope it stays that way. All this waiting is getting me anxious haha x

[IrishAsh]

Aw i know and when your eager to get going it seems endless. Good ur hopefully on time and can get started soon.

@IrishAsh congratulations, wishing you all the best for positive BT soon!
Going away during TWW sounds like a great plan to get your mind off things!

[IrishAsh]

Thanks @Anydreamwilldo , that's what we thought. Just distract ourselves. Then we get back the thursday morning. Work the thursday eve and test the friday. So hopefully it'll pass quickly 🙈😊😊

[Anydreamwilldo]

How is everyone going?
I'm
Still waiting for AF, feels like it's never going to show up. 36 days after stopping stims, surely it should be here by now!
Sorry to vent, just feeling a little sorry for myself today

[IrishAsh]

Aw @Anydreamwilldo thats a long wait. Would you usually have long cycles?
Im finding the days really long.. BT Friday. I feel the same PMS symptoms i usually do but teying to mot think about it (yeah right) and just see

[Anydreamwilldo]

Oh dear @IrishAsh yes I am sure every little twinge would make your mind go crazy wondering if it's a pregnancy symptom or AF! Hopefully you get some time to relax while you are away
Generally I'm 31-33 day cycle. But I thought being I was all through stims and just about to trigger that When I stopped stims I would have ovulated pretty much right away so AF would have been not long after that, didn't realize it would be full cycle length then some! Just frustrated I guess, just waiting around not allowed to have unprotected sex just seems so counter productive. Bleh! Haha think I need a day of self pity and back to positive tomorrow

[IrishAsh]

Your totally aloud a day for yourself make sure theres ice cream involved.
Yes looking forward to leaving after work today.
What do you think of sex on the 2ww.. i read some say avoid. If im 5dp5dt shouldn't make a difference from now?
Hopefully another day or so and you'll be ready. Would acupuncture help bring them on? I've never tried it but a lot swear by it for everything

[Anydreamwilldo]

I actually have an appointment for acupuncture this afternoon @IrishAsh I did it when TTC naturally and have booked for my first appointment now with IVF.
Hmm I don't really know, i never thought it would be an issue, but then I have read others say to avoid it because you don't want your uterus to contract, but then I think plenty of people would have fallen naturally, and continued sex during the equivalent time?
Whatever feels right I guess?

[IrishAsh]

Thats whatni was thinking too. It cant really make or break things so mght as well go with ur gut.
Hopefully the acupuncture does the trick for you today xx
