Need some encouragement - Updated with question
I am only 5dp3dt and I am driving myself CRAZY!!! I know I shouldn't necessarily be feeling anything just yet, but I am already worried that this isn't going to work.
I had some tightness/cramping in my lower abdomen area two days ago, yesterday not much at all, and today, slight cramping in my lower stomach area. I HATE not knowing if these are "signs" or if it's something else. I know I have to keep myself busy, etc., it's just so hard. I was so optimistic after my successful ER/ET, but for some reason, I'm not feeling that way anymore  I'm just so scared this isn't going to work

Hang in there!!!! And keep positive!!!
You have pumped hormones into your body and they're messing w/ your emotions! Do your best to ignore them and just keep doing what you can to keep busy!!!  
(that being said I forsee me posting this exact same thing sometime next week!   )

Re: Need some encouragement
I swear the 2WW after IVF is worse than the weeks leading up to IVF.
Try to do something to take your mind off it (I know, easier said then done). Go get yourself a mani/pedi.

Re: Need some encouragement
I am 4dp3dt and I am also going bonkers. I completely understand what you are going through. I woke up this morning thinking that this didn't work since I am not feeling much of anything, no pg symptoms. I have felt so positive about this cycle but for some reason am starting to doubt it. How I am going to make it through another week I have no idea!!
Lets try to help eachother through this dreadful 2ww!!

Re: Need some encouragement
You HAVE to relax! Stress does so much damage to the body......I STRONGLY recommend listening to meditation CD's (I use Anji -- made special for infertility). It helps ALOT......please trust me on this....

Re: Need some encouragement
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate your support. It helps sooo much! I actually got out for a bit and did some shopping (retail therapy ALWAYS helps!).
I do have a question though. I am feeling quite a bit of cramping today - in what feels like my uterus. Almost period like cramps. Is this a good thing????
