I am in my 2ww having had IVF, started it last thursday. I am having all the symptoms of AF and i am due this week. For those of you who have a BFP, did you feel like it was always coming, but didn't or did you feel pregnant? Also does IVF delay your period?
Thank you and all the best

I didnt have IVF, but am in the 2ww and unfortunately also have been really feeling blue and PMS like. But that can also be signs of pregnancy. Hang in there. Its not over til its over. hmm, I should take my own advice since I am sick of waiting too.

I had just done an IVF cycle and during the 2ww I had lots of feelings which I put down to being pregnant. Some days I thought yes I am other days I thought no I'm not. It is realy hard not to read into all the physical feelings - the best advice I had was that it's not over until it's over. Unfortunately for me it was over when my period came early by two days last Wednesday. I think it is the hardest part of the cycle. Good luck x

My wait ended on 10/18 when I got BFP, some signs of AF are same as early pregnancy. Like the cramps, tiredness, etc. I am 4w5d, and still have little cramps. Also, AF won't start if you're on meds like Estrace(estradiol).

I was convinced af was coming.(IVF 2ww) I had usual af stomach cramps and back ache. The cramps were mild, not painful. boobs wernt particularly sore. I got a BFP last tues.
good luck. That waiting drives you insane doesnt it? Get a friend to give you a good book that you cnt put down. that was my only way of escaping that didnt involve moving about.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
