BBjourney, my 2ww:-
1. watched TV until headaches
2. think of bad things and think of good things ( think too much until like abit kuku)
3. suffered in depression, i think...
4. DH has to call n text me very often to check whether i am okay at home... ( i think my 2ww also has became his 2ww)
perhaps we should check with sistas here what positive things to do in 2ww beside watching TV at all time...

Haro Hope & BBjourney! Ai yo so fast bored alrdy ah... actually ya la, 2ww is tormenting if u have nothing to do... u tend to let yr imagination go wild and it might be "stressful" and "harmful" in a way.... Check this out gals:-
Here are 50 things to do in the 2ww:
Take your daily prenatal vitamins including folic acid
Write a daily journal
Update your facebook page
Don't smoke
Don't drink alcohol
Set some goals and write them down
Make a new budget
Write down babynames
Make your home green
Organize your home
Treat yourself to facials and bubble baths
Eat healthy - leafy vegetables contain a lot of folic acid
Go out and have good food - Once you are pregnant you may not geel like it
Drink pineapple juice or fresh pineapple slices - contains selenium which aids with implantation
Eat walnuts
Use loose clothes : nothing that fits too tight
Don't lift anything too heavy
Exercise - but in moderation
Take long walks
Hydrate well - Drink 1 or 2 liters of water each day
Enjoy making love - at this point it's for pure fun not bab ymaking
If you have to, drink coffee but limit it to 2 cups a day
Go out,
Try to stay busy so you do not obsess too much
Find a good obstetrician
Investigate good hospitals
Calculate the exact day when your pregnancy test should be positive
Watch one dvd a day
Send your husband a love letter each day
Clean up the refrigerator
Get rid of toxic chemicals in your house
Take a regular nap - Naps are God's gift to the impatient.
Meditate - Do Yoga
Spend more time talking to your husband
Go out with a girlfriend for some tea
Ask your husband to do the vacuuming, dishwasher, laundry, and garbage disposal
Practice peeing on a stick - with a Q tip
Investigate life insurance
Paint your rooms - During pregnancy the smells may drive you crazy
Reorganize the kitchen
Do some gardening
Repot your plants
Take the dog for long walks
Check the medicine cabinet and throw out old medications
Wash the dog
Go to a museum - each day a different one
Cut coupons
Watch for maternity clothes sales
Read a good book, or two, or three..
Reorganize your closets

during my last fet, i also didn't work but ended up thinking too much and kept testing hpt until nearly go crazy.... so this time, i will just come back to work and hopes that my mind is not constantly on the results and hopefully, it works this time
Hope,
i didn't take immunococcal or ensure too.... I tried ensure in my fresh cycle but after 1 taste i dun like it so didn't drink any of it in the end..... so waste money... kekeke
for protein, you can take egg whites and chicken essence (whether bottled or self-brew) and for selenium, can take brazil nuts too.... most important is to keep yourself stress free lor... if u feel that taking all these supplements help and u feel better taking them... take by all means... if it just make u more stress going around hunting for it or u dun like the taste of it, find alternatives... most important is to be relaxed during 2ww

Hope, Brazil nuts is to aid implantation... there's selenium... Selenium supplement is already in the conceive well we are taking...but taking brazil nuts is to add more selenium in a more natural way to hopefully aid implanatation. Walnuts are altogether different...walnuts will aid progesterone....
Dears Sisters,
Thank you! Today Dr managed to retrieve 5 eggs. All went on well I supposed. I was asked to go back on Wed to do ET. Just wondering do most of you do D2 or D3 ET? ER today, ET Wed, is this considered D2 or D3? Any advice?
Dear Bbjourney,
Mine is Dr Sadhana.

Wendy, you are right, I was sleeping in the afternoon, feeling exhausted. My DH took over the kitchen today and prepared lunch & dinner. I have very very few eggs picked up today.. feeling sad. Keeping fingers crossed that I have something to transfer. Angela kept patting me on my shoulder to comfort me and ask me not to worry, she will do her best.
