Tips to get through 2ww after IVF

[Sunshine24]

Hi Ladies-

I am in the very beginning of my first IVF, so not even IN the 2ww yet, and I already know how hard it is going to be.

Normally when I am stressed about something I go for a long run or enjoy a glass of wine--two things that are obviously not allowed during a post-IVF 2WW!

So, how the heck have you gotten through yours? Did you start a new hobby? Have a mind trick that worked?

Please feel free to share and discuss here ( and not just IVF 2ww-ers, all of us! )

Thanks.

Sunshine- As you know i have been through 2 cycles of IVF and there are no tips sadly. Nothing takes your mind off things, its all you will think about day and night until OTD. The only advice i can give, is to not study 'symptoms' as the progesterone mimics pregnancy which is similar symptoms to AF so its a head wrecker and if possible try and hold out on testing until OTD as anything before then may upset you needlessly;-)
Good luck xxx
