You guys...I'm halfway through and these symptoms I'm experiencing are driving me mad. Obviously the stress of it all is the worst but I am having some side effects to the progesterone in oil shots that are no joke. I am literally a furnace, cannot get cool enough, house is set to deep freeze and anytime I have to go outside (in Florida) I am a hot mess. I have had a headache on and off, today it has been so bad I took off work. Insomnia, getting up 4-5 times a night to pee, lumps/tenderness at injection site, flu-like symptoms, nausea. I just really want this to be over, to know if it was successful and all this crap is worth it or not, ugh! Ok end rant.

Oh man... I remember always feeling like I was walking in a dream during a 2WW- it was like walking around with a big secret and trying to act as normal as possible without screaming at someone. Just gotta keep pushing... what day do you test? Thinking of you!

That's the worst part! Going through all the symptoms and not knowing if it even worked!! I hope you can keep finding ways to tolerate and get through! When is your beta?

I am so sorry dear! The 2ww is the worst part of the journey. The symptoms are awful. You're coming off stims, then you're using nasty progesterone, which frankly, makes me bat $hit crazy. Worse than climid, haha! I won't tell you to relax, because you won't be able to. What I will say is, all of the things you're experiencing are because of hormones, its not the real you. I've had those exact same symptoms you mentioned in past cycles. I am in the 2ww too, but we did timed intercourse (not even sure there was a real egg in my monster sized follie). I test either 8/25 or 8/28, still contemplating when to take the blood test.
Hugs and hang in there, dear!

Thanks for listening to me rant ladies! It has been a struggle for sure. I test on Monday so 4 more days!! And I have a ridiculously busy day at work tomorrow since I took off yesterday and lots of family in town this weekend for my grandma's 85 birthday party so I will be easily distracted :) Good luck Hope1124, will be sending positive vibes your way!
