I am on 2WW. So far Hungry , Bloated and Drowsy Minimal on and off cramps Praying to be Positive in the name of Jesus and his blood on my Womb !! though I am sinful ❤ Praying for Best results
Thank you for this. I tested early today (day 25 of my cycle) and did the cervix check and both indicated I was not pregnant and I have cried so many times today. I had been feeling symptoms that I thought indicated pregnancy and have been so hopeful and now I just feel so crazy. Been trying for two years. This was so encouraging and something to remind myself of in the future regardless of the outcome.🙏🏻
@@drlorashahine So, turns out I wasn't :( but I'm keeping faith and staying anxiety free (at least trying to, lol). Fingers crossed I'm back on this page with a positive update soon - pun intended!
Thank you so much i found this randomly when i needed it most....❤yes i am pregnant i have v strong positive wibe🎉hurrayyyy i am pregnant so no need to worry ❤
It is day 8 after frozen embryo transfer and it has been one of the toughest periods I have ever experienced. It feels like I’ve been waiting for years. I took an at home pregnancy test and it was negative… (I know I shouldn’t have done it) I’m still trying to stay positive. Please send me lots of love ❤️
Without diminishing what the ladies have to contend with it is important to note that as a male I too am experiencing the mental rollercoaster ride the goes with the weeks leading up to and after the transfer. I have relocated to a tropical island paradise and focusing on an intense and immersive personal wellbeing program, connecting with nature, paying attention to my nutritional habits, taking part in local spiritual ceremonies even though I am atheist, and maintaining a positive outlook. We do not have any fertility issues beyond the generationally typical lower counts so I am being comforted by those 80% chances of success rates in. the medical literature. My team is phenomenal all around and I am looking forward to a magical outcome. Thanks to all the people like Dr Shahine and other professionals for making all this possible
Thanks for the video. . I am currently on the TWW. it has always been a torturesome journey. I remember on one occasion when I thought i had suceeded because of the absence of my period for 34 days only for them to come on the 35 th day. This had never happened before. The pain and shock 😲 that greeted me is indescribable. I don't want to rush into conclusions this time round but will add 20 more days on top of the 35. I am a bit advanced in age but I eat healthy and exercise. I keep my spirits high through positive affirmations. I am a prayerful woman and I believe the God of Sarah and will do it for me.
I completely understand what you said last month I was also happy when I late and the day I decided I'll take test tomorrow there it was my period. I was so sad I can't even explain I'm again in two weeks wait hoping for a positive result. Sending good vibes and good luck to you too❤
So am I. I will get an answer when I go to my doctor this Friday. Will be going to my doctor for something else but will be asking her to do a pregnancy test at that time.
no treatments here natural conceiving. But 7/2 we conceived i believe lol tomorrow 7/23 i’ll be 4 days late with my period. i feel no symptoms of my period coming no cramps at all . in the last week and a half i’ve noticed my breast feel heavier . not heavy heavy but enough to feel the difference. im going to bed sooner too . i’ll go in monday 7/24 have my doctor do a blood test because i took two home test today and it was a negative but i’m not going to let it get me down . I’m feeling pregnant i’ve had one child almost 9 yrs ago but i’d like to hear a positive. I’ll come back with an update !
I had FET yesterday. You made me realised that I have started behaving totally different , in order to put my best forward to conceive😁 despite having a successful natural & vaginal delivery 10 years back . Cost, multiple visits to clinic, physical exertion and effect of all those hormonal medicine made me behaving like, this is my first & last chance to have a kid ever in life😁… I am now laughing on myself….Thanks for taking me out of this trap. Now, I can understand how difficult it is for those having only IVF an option to have kids…
Thank your for that calm and helpful video. The two week wait is hard every month when people come at you from all over the place to announce that this and that person you knew now has a child. It honestly makes me feel so much anxiety that something might be wrong with me 'again'. I always felt behind everyone else and this doesn't make it any easier. I know I shouldn't write myself off like this and think positive. It just feels like something I almost can't control if my body isn't meant to. (For whatever reason)
I am currently in the TTW and I decided to not step back my home cardio routine. With my son pregnancy I was so worry to make any movement other than walking, and that made me gain a lot of weight , and also mined my self confidence. Now that I am TTC again I don’t want to let the joy of exercising, while I don’t even know if I am pregnant. TTC it self takes already a big toll on mental health, so at least I need to focus on what I am in control of. My self care. Good luck to everyone looking this video now. Thank you Dr.Lora!
Love the gentle approach of your video. I'm in my 2ww right now after an iui. With my ex I had 11 iuis in a row before a positive result which ended in a miscarriage at 7 and a half weeks. I'm hoping for better success with my fiancé almost 2 years later. 🙏🏾❤️
I'm having IVF (Icsi) in the UK ( 2nd FET yesterday) and its an interesting on the exercise. Over here I've been told to reduce my activity and stick to walking and swimming and keep my heart rate low whilst exercising to prevent a stress hormone from being released. I personally believe in listen to your body if your tired rest etc don't push it. Every time I've said that I'm active person who runs across fields, goes the the gym etc I feel like it's met with shock by the health professionals, I don't plan on running but I personally don't see what's wrong with going the gym and doing gentle exercise that's not hard impact.
Thankful for all this amazing information, and for this community (I feel like reading everyone’s comments and journeys doesn’t make me feel so alone in this 😢) I’m currently on the 2 week wait, had IUI done on 10/8th praying for the best!!! And praying for everyone else here 🙏🏽 we got this!
Will start on my 2 week wait tomorrow and actually planning to stop drinking coffee. We really badly want to have a baby so we are trying everything we can to make this possible. But because of this video, you taught us to be patient and just live normally.
This video and this comment section has helped me so much! I’m in my 2ww now for the first time and I feel like I’m going crazy! Glad to see I’m not alone! Good luck to everyone trying!!
Thanks for your encouragement and reminders of self care. We’re starting IUI procedures this month after 19 cycles of TTC. It’s hard not to get my hopes up every cycle. The emotional rollercoaster over the past year and a half has been gut wrenching. And for someone with control issues like myself, it’s been one heck of a learning experience.
There is a positive vibe that your videos impart along with giving information , the fact that you are a certified professional and a fellow warrior shows !! Thank you for this ❤
Thankyou so much for this video, I really needed it today. i am currently in the two week wait after trying for 4 months unsuccessfully and i have had two miscarriages up until this point. Your suggestions are exactly what i need to hear, the anxiety and focus that i have been feeling over TTC has been mounting up and it came to a head this morning when i arrived at work to the news that my co-worker had covid and we were all potentially exposed. I had Covid during my last miscarriage so it really triggered me. Anyway, not sure why I am sharing all that but your video has been a comfort and also given me some healthy tools to approach the next week.
Thank you for your empathy. ❤ It's been a long journey, and maybe next month I have my transfer. I have a very stressful job and I am planning to take 3 weeks off (one before implantation, two after the implantation) and I am planning to just take care of my self, walk my dog, be in nature, meditate. It also helped me reading the comments of other women sharing their journey. I wish all of us the best
Hi Dr. Lora. Thank you for making these wonderful videos. I went through fertility treatments for endometriosis and fibroids several years ago. I was able to have a son and a daughter thanks to Lupron Depot. I am currently providing emotional support for a younger co-worker who suffers from PCOS. She just got bad news today about her IVF procedure. My heart is broken for her. Your videos have helped me to understand her grief and how I can be more supportive.
I am praying so hard god ! I have had 3 failed ICI’s but with this 4th one I did everything differently and I’m just praying with everything in me I can finally see something positive for all of the hard work I have put in . I physically can’t take any more negatives or disappointments . In Jesus name 🙏🏾 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This has been helpful. Currently on Cycle 4 TTC baby #2. Ugh I hate feeling anxious and some what grumpy. I feel like I’m my worst enemy who fills my own head with negative thinking. I’m really trying to hype myself up and know I can conceive baby #2 🎉❤
Thank you so much for this video. I just had my first embryo transfer a few days ago after a very long 8 months of injections, failed attempts, and then finally a round of IVF. It’s been such a difficult last year in general with all the fertility treatments and finally getting to this point is so exciting but also so nerve wracking. This was super super helpful ❤
Thank you Dr. Lora for this video that shows so much care and understanding to what we are going through. I’m in my TWW and I believe in god’s timing I will get his miracle baby
@@drlorashahinehello. i am here with my husband for over 7 months now and i have a daighter she is 19 months old. my tests are okay except for my vitD which was at 23. i am not getting pregnant which is worrying for me. what do you suggest for me. my periods are regular on time. i noticed spotting after periods for 4-5 days. my first pregnancy was cesarian. kindly reply me.
Everything is good except for planning if a negative let’s walk into it knowing it will happen remain positive and enjoy it feel it know it envision it and it’s already yours 🤰 🙏 😊
Had a CM last month. Was kind of depressed when ive lost my baby at 5wks. Currently 11dpo as i was trying again in July. By Gods grace im preg and its a healthy preg which continues 🙏🏽
I always get so much out of your videos! One thing I enjoy is fertility yoga during the two week wait. It's very relaxing and basically meditation. I really find that it helps me to get through those days and feel like I'm doing something.
I'm at the start of my tww after letrozole and trigger shot regimen. Let's see what happens. 3+ years of ttc journey. Every cycle I elevate my hopes in being pregnant and I know it will happen soon soon soon 🤗💪
Thank you!! I have a very consistent yoga routine and it's the 2ww for me right now... everytime I feel my abs clench I get paranoid it's effecting my uterus ! hahah I can't help but feel like everything is too delicate in there, hearing the example about Serena Williams was just what I needed to hear! (Not that I'm even training that hard lol) now I can do my strength yogas without being nervous!
The way you said don't Google I agree I have searched so much about this and they all tell us about what to eat what not to eat how much exercise and all that. But your video was so relaxing and so relatable. I'm glad I found this video. I was putting my doodling hobby on hold. But I'm going to start it from today. Hoping for a positive result after this two week wait. Thank you so much ❤
this video is todays life saver for me! I am definitely going crazy right now because of the waiting and listening to you calmed me down immensely, I feel so much less alone now, thank you deeply!
@@drlorashahine Dear Dr. Lora, I am pregnant I can't believe it now I am gonna watch all your other videos! especially the ones about miscarriages, which I had recently, helped me so much allready, hopefully this time I will get to your videos about the next steps, thank you for sharing your knowledge and being so kind and sensitive about these subjects, lots of love
Thank you for these helpful tips! I am in my third transfer 2ww now, and I am grateful for this video. Sending positive thoughts to everyone here. ✨💖✨💖✨
Thank you so much for this video! My husband and I are going to start ttc this month for the very first time and I am trying to prepare myself and hubby for the hard parts of ttc. Watching your videos calmed my anxiety and answered my questions I could not find in books or forums. I am super excited to share this video with my husband so we can make a plan now for how we are going to tackle the tww together (and plan for after). Your videos are so helpful and informative!
@@drlorashahine Hi Dr. Lora , I am looking forward of having my FET in 2 weeks time and my Dr. advice me to be on sedation because I am sensitive to pain and I want to try a natural way so I can be full blooder.My concern is my uterus is inverted. Last time I was on sedation but my FET failed. What can you advice to me this time? Thank you in advance and I am learning lots of things from you.
Had my 2 embryos transferred last Thursday and im now in the tww and honestly its driving me insane. I feel like im taking my period mild cramps heaviness lower back ache extremely sore nipples and sooo emotional. This journey is such a draining exhausting experience. Xxx
I've been through almost 150 two week waits. (12.5 years of trying) It is still hard not to get my hopes up. I got pregnant completely by surprise last year, but it ended up being a chemical. I was hoping maybe it was a sign that something had changed and I would get pregnant again, but it has now been a year and nothing has happened. I'm trying to let go and accept that it most likely will never happen, but gosh getting oregnant makes that so much harder. It gave me hope for the first time in many years. Hope is a dangerous thing in my situation. It leads to so much more heartbreak. Thanks for sharing these tips. The two week wait is such a hard time.
@@gunselideniz Aww thank you for your sweet comment. I'll never stop "trying" or more accurately I'll never do anything to prevent getting pregnant. But it's too hard and painful to hope every month that maybe it will happen this time. So I understand that there is always a possibility that it could happen one day, but I also know that it may not. It's easier for me personally to work on accepting that it probably won't and not to live on that rollercoaster of hope/despair. This way if it does happen I can be surprised, but if it doesn't I won't be devastated. So keeping my expectations/hopes realistic while also always keeping the possibility open. I hope that makes sense. Before the early miscarriage I had reached a place of peace with it all. I'm just trying to find that place again.
@@drlorashahine thank you!! My first one I stopped all exercise and obsessively googled everything and tested like a mad woman 😂 this time I’m going to relax and leave it in the universes hands! I have my Xmas party on Friday too .. what is your opinion on having a drink during the tww?? Like a glass of wine? Or 2? Thanks again ❤️
I love your channel! TY for creating useful and accurate content. Would love a video that explains what the embryo is doing each day during the TWW after a FET. How long does it take to hatch, implant, etc.? This will help me connect with the moment and approach the process with gratitude instead of worry.
This is the best and only video I needed. I searched for your IUI and landed on this one. I am currently on my 2ww and this has been one of my several 2ww. But listening to your kind and much needed words makes me feel so calm. Literally coughing or sneezing also makes me worry. But I love your approach of dealing with this period. Can use all the wishes and prayers rn. Thank you so much. Much love and power to you.
I am so, so thankful I came across your video this morning 🙏 I am in the 2week waiting period, (first time trying) and have been googling like crazy 🙈 your video has brought such a calmness over me, THANK YOU!
@drlorashahine thank you much ❤️ Can you please tell me my progesterone level was 90 nmol/L on the day of transfer, if it is good or not? By the way I am on progesterone injections every other day. Thanks in advance
Currently in my two week waiting period, after my first IUI and this video was just what I needed to watch today. I have twinges which I keep wondering are gas / pain, the progesterone is causing all sorts of weird symptoms like indigestion 😢 and the urge to take a home test is very strong!!
@@drlorashahine hello doctor just came across your video accidentally, I had my iui 8 days ago I.e on 15th day of my cycle now since 2 days am getting all sort of pms symptoms like stomach cramps , back pain leg pain am frightened to death thinking periods might hit anytime soon 😢 but I have accepted that I can’t change the result
I had to throw it all of the tests in the bin. I’ve got my first consultation tomorrow and already finding it unbearable. I’m wishing you all the best hun.
I have transferred my beautiful hatching baby 5 days ago and my first symptom was mild constant headache 🙏🏻 I am also providing updates on RUclips bcs I think videos like those are so important. Thank you for this video, Doctor! It really helps!❤
@@alexandregonzalez3733 Thank you for reaching out! It sounds like you have several important questions. Since fertility care is typically ongoing and may require multiple visits, I would ask your local medical provider so they could give you the personal medical advice you need. Best wishes! ❤️🤞🍍
Well said Dr this helps my anxiety 😟 ❤and I’m going to do an action plan to the what if and not test at home instead wait for my body’s magic ! I’m 6 days post frozen embryo transfer today. I listen to my body and have done self care with no fear like light somatic yoga and breath , Qigong feels so good and relaxed at the end I’m a warrior
Just had my embryo transfer last monday! And just in time i am at two week waiting😊. You’re exactly right, i’m distracting myself by working, solving problems at the office even if it’s not my job anymore😅
I would love to see a video on hcg testing after FET and what to expect. I had a positive hcg test and after 48 hrs it did not rise as much as it should. Getting my 3rd hcg test tomorrow. Praying it doubled and we still have a chance. 🙏🏻
I did my Embryo transfer on 20th November and trying my very best to keep calm. This is my 5th transfer with 7 cycles. I'm really anxious but praying and believing I'll get a positive this time round 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Doc ❤ Your videos are really helpful and calming. Keep up the good work. We need your calmness and tips that you share with us. Ivf is not an easy journey and i am praying for every woman going through this🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@drlorashahineI did my test yesterday and it turned out positive and I am beyond excited. 7 cycles were not easy on the body. I am now praying that my HCG levels will keep rising and I'll have an easy pregnancy. I am sending my sincere prayers and blessings to all women who are trying to conceive. May your have the patience, grace and strength to go through this. May your heart desires and prayers to get pregnant be answered. May you hold your babies in your arms soon. Keep up the good videos Dr Shahine. We need them ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
@@busolocj4453congratulations what a great news! Could you pls share that how many IVFs you had? Like was it one IVF, out of which 5 embryos transfer took place? Or more IVFs?
Thank you for this video. ❤ I am on the second year of tries. Sometimes it is so difficult to handle it but with video I get to understanding that I am not alone in this fight and it is normal o have ups and downs when we try to make our family. Good luck to every woman who is on this journey ❤
Watching the video felt like this was just made for me... Thank you for such an honest explanation.. it has given me the courage to wait patiently. Thankyou
Had my embryo transfer last friday. Now waiting for 5days.. Symptoms: none, but one night i got verrry dizzy. That’s all. Hoping for positive result. Thanks for the video. 😊
Your videos have been a godsend for me in my first IVF cycle, sensible and helpful. Now in the TWW :) I'm fostering kittens which is a great distraction (although not doing the litter box of course)
I am currently in my TWW(day 13). I have been asked to test on day 16. Fingers crossed till then. I am trying not to keep my hopes too high. I think I am ready to deal with anything
Hello! Thank you!! I am so glad I came across this video. I just had my first IUI yesterday. And I was googling certain topics, but glad I heard your advice because I am going to have 2 long weeks. I also start the prometrium tomorrow. This brings relief to me. ❤
THANK YOU so much. You don't know how much it means to people. I would like to learn about folate vs. Folic acid and the best prenatals for people concerned about folate (MTHFR mutations).
Thankful for this video, very informative it helps me a lot to relax and wait because im currently in TWW and it get me confused on everything thats happening on my body, spotting etc.
Today, was our first ever embryo transfer! I was excited and nervous at the same time. I am documenting our IVF journey in video form but I wanted to wait before I start to share it and put it out there. Because I don’t know what the outcome would be. Perhaps I can start editing some videos while I’m on the two week wait. That will keep me busy 😂😊
Dear Dr Lora Shahine, Do you have a video about what's happening after first blood test with positive HCG level? Is another blood test necessary in a few days or not always? when is the ultrasound? Your videos are soooo useful, supporting and kind. Thank you :)
I’m seven days post fet … it’s driving me crazy with not so much symptoms and no support at home … anxiety level is sky high … test will be on the 25/7

This video and this comment section has helped me so much! I’m in my 2ww now for the first time and I feel like I’m going crazy! Glad to see I’m not alone! Good luck to everyone trying!!
Sending you ❤️🤞🍍 - see my video on ‘the two week wait’ I hope it helps you right now
Same here. 🫶🏻💖

I'm wishing you all the best Andrea!

Amen..same here
I'm praying for you
Thanks for your encouragement and reminders of self care. We’re starting IUI procedures this month after 19 cycles of TTC.
It’s hard not to get my hopes up every cycle. The emotional rollercoaster over the past year and a half has been gut wrenching. And for someone with control issues like myself, it’s been one heck of a learning experience.
The MakeAmom BabyMaker Kit exceeded our expectations. It was easy to use and effective, and now we're excitedly waiting for our baby!
There is a positive vibe that your videos impart along with giving information , the fact that you are a certified professional and a fellow warrior shows !!
Thank you for this ❤
I appreciate your kind words ❤️ Thank you for watching!
The MakeAmom BabyMaker Kit was everything we hoped for and more! Easy to use, and now we're looking forward to welcoming our baby into the world.
Thankyou so much for this video, I really needed it today. i am currently in the two week wait after trying for 4 months unsuccessfully and i have had two miscarriages up until this point. Your suggestions are exactly what i need to hear, the anxiety and focus that i have been feeling over TTC has been mounting up and it came to a head this morning when i arrived at work to the news that my co-worker had covid and we were all potentially exposed. I had Covid during my last miscarriage so it really triggered me. Anyway, not sure why I am sharing all that but your video has been a comfort and also given me some healthy tools to approach the next week.
You are so welcome - I appreciate your taking time to write something kind - best wishes to you!
Thank you for your empathy. ❤
It's been a long journey, and maybe next month I have my transfer. I have a very stressful job and I am planning to take 3 weeks off (one before implantation, two after the implantation) and I am planning to just take care of my self, walk my dog, be in nature, meditate.
It also helped me reading the comments of other women sharing their journey. I wish all of us the best
I wish you all the best with the transfer. I'm glad the comments were a source of comfort and thank you so much for watching!
Currently in my two week wait. It’s been a long journey but I am glad I just found your channel. ❤
Welcome aboard! I'm wishing you all the best on your journey ❤️ Thank you for watching ❤️
Hi Dr. Lora. Thank you for making these wonderful videos. I went through fertility treatments for endometriosis and fibroids several years ago. I was able to have a son and a daughter thanks to Lupron Depot. I am currently providing emotional support for a younger co-worker who suffers from PCOS. She just got bad news today about her IVF procedure. My heart is broken for her. Your videos have helped me to understand her grief and how I can be more supportive.
Thank you so much for your kind words Susan. Your co-worker is so lucky to have you there to support her!
I love that you call these "survival tips". So true.
I am praying so hard god ! I have had 3 failed ICI’s but with this 4th one I did everything differently and I’m just praying with everything in me I can finally see something positive for all of the hard work I have put in . I physically can’t take any more negatives or disappointments . In Jesus name 🙏🏾 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm wishing you a successful outcome. Don't give up! Thank you for watching.
This has been helpful. Currently on
Cycle 4 TTC baby #2. Ugh I hate feeling anxious and some what grumpy. I feel like I’m my worst enemy who fills my own head with negative thinking. I’m really trying to hype myself up and know I can conceive baby #2 🎉❤
Waiting Game!!! Im on my TWW era now! Claiming for a positive result! ❤️
I'm wishing you all the best! Thank you for watching :)
I’m currently in my TWW! I’m so nervous but also excited I’m hoping for a positive pregnancy test! It’s my first frozen IVF cycle :)
Thank you so much for this video. I just had my first embryo transfer a few days ago after a very long 8 months of injections, failed attempts, and then finally a round of IVF. It’s been such a difficult last year in general with all the fertility treatments and finally getting to this point is so exciting but also so nerve wracking. This was super super helpful ❤
I'm so glad this video was helpful. Thank you for watching!
@@drlorashahine nov 2 we Intercourse nov 18 my period but before bleeding that period or implantation bleeding I do k ow when I take pregnancy test
Thank you Dr. Lora for this video that shows so much care and understanding to what we are going through.
I’m in my TWW and I believe in god’s timing I will get his miracle baby
Thank you so much for watching! I wish you all the best on your journey
@@drlorashahinehello. i am here with my husband for over 7 months now and i have a daighter she is 19 months old. my tests are okay except for my vitD which was at 23. i am not getting pregnant which is worrying for me. what do you suggest for me. my periods are regular on time. i noticed spotting after periods for 4-5 days. my first pregnancy was cesarian. kindly reply me.
Day 5 of waiting and it‘s our first time and first try. I can’t imagine doing this more than once. 🙈 I would like to know right away. 👶🏻
Everything is good except for planning if a negative let’s walk into it knowing it will happen remain positive and enjoy it feel it know it envision it and it’s already yours 🤰 🙏 😊
Well said!
MakeAmom kit was exactly what we needed-easy, comfortable, and effective. We’re thrilled to be expecting!
The MakeAmom Hopeful Parents Kit was fantastic and easy to use. We're eagerly expecting our baby!
It's been a few hours after the transfer. I was stretching and moving my body while listening to you talk. Thank you for your knowledge ❤
Wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for watching!
Had a CM last month. Was kind of depressed when ive lost my baby at 5wks. Currently 11dpo as i was trying again in July. By Gods grace im preg and its a healthy preg which continues 🙏🏽
I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish you the very best on your journey.
@@drlorashahine thank you ❤️
I always get so much out of your videos! One thing I enjoy is fertility yoga during the two week wait. It's very relaxing and basically meditation. I really find that it helps me to get through those days and feel like I'm doing something.
Thanks for sharing!!
Trying for a baby tablet many weeks pregncaer to be pregncare tall you me
@@drlorashahine Hai Madam
On my two week wait! It’s soo nerve racking that sometimes it is sooo difficult to not google 🙈
I'm at the start of my tww after letrozole and trigger shot regimen. Let's see what happens. 3+ years of ttc journey. Every cycle I elevate my hopes in being pregnant and I know it will happen soon soon soon 🤗💪
Thank you!! I have a very consistent yoga routine and it's the 2ww for me right now... everytime I feel my abs clench I get paranoid it's effecting my uterus ! hahah I can't help but feel like everything is too delicate in there, hearing the example about Serena Williams was just what I needed to hear! (Not that I'm even training that hard lol) now I can do my strength yogas without being nervous!
Normal to worry about every little thing. Sending you best wishes!!!
Updates?
I'm currently on day 6 in my TWW and am praying I get a positive result
All the best! Thanks for watching!
The way you said don't Google I agree I have searched so much about this and they all tell us about what to eat what not to eat how much exercise and all that. But your video was so relaxing and so relatable. I'm glad I found this video. I was putting my doodling hobby on hold. But I'm going to start it from today. Hoping for a positive result after this two week wait.
Thank you so much ❤
Possibly the best video out there! Loved how you were honest about your own experiences and what you would have done too ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words!
this video is todays life saver for me! I am definitely going crazy right now because of the waiting and listening to you calmed me down immensely, I feel so much less alone now, thank you deeply!
Thank you so much for taking time to say something so kind❤️
@@drlorashahine Dear Dr. Lora, I am pregnant I can't believe it now I am gonna watch all your other videos! especially the ones about miscarriages, which I had recently, helped me so much allready, hopefully this time I will get to your videos about the next steps, thank you for sharing your knowledge and being so kind and sensitive about these subjects, lots of love
@@mimischunemann9232 any update ❤🎉
I'm in my TWW on my 21st cycle. Praying for our rainbow baby. ✝️🙏🏽👶🏽
Thank you for these helpful tips! I am in my third transfer 2ww now, and I am grateful for this video. Sending positive thoughts to everyone here. ✨💖✨💖✨
You got this! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much for this video! My husband and I are going to start ttc this month for the very first time and I am trying to prepare myself and hubby for the hard parts of ttc. Watching your videos calmed my anxiety and answered my questions I could not find in books or forums. I am super excited to share this video with my husband so we can make a plan now for how we are going to tackle the tww together (and plan for after). Your videos are so helpful and informative!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Sending good thoughts to you on your journey!!

@@drlorashahine Hi Dr. Lora , I am looking forward of having my FET in 2 weeks time and my Dr. advice me to be on sedation because I am sensitive to pain and I want to try a natural way so I can be full blooder.My concern is my uterus is inverted. Last time I was on sedation but my FET failed. What can you advice to me this time? Thank you in advance and I am learning lots of things from you.
Had my 2 embryos transferred last Thursday and im now in the tww and honestly its driving me insane. I feel like im taking my period mild cramps heaviness lower back ache extremely sore nipples and sooo emotional. This journey is such a draining exhausting experience. Xxx
Any update?
I've been through almost 150 two week waits. (12.5 years of trying) It is still hard not to get my hopes up. I got pregnant completely by surprise last year, but it ended up being a chemical. I was hoping maybe it was a sign that something had changed and I would get pregnant again, but it has now been a year and nothing has happened. I'm trying to let go and accept that it most likely will never happen, but gosh getting oregnant makes that so much harder. It gave me hope for the first time in many years. Hope is a dangerous thing in my situation. It leads to so much more heartbreak.
Thanks for sharing these tips. The two week wait is such a hard time.
I came across your comment totally randomly.I felt for you.Please dont gjve up hope.
@@gunselideniz Aww thank you for your sweet comment. I'll never stop "trying" or more accurately I'll never do anything to prevent getting pregnant. But it's too hard and painful to hope every month that maybe it will happen this time. So I understand that there is always a possibility that it could happen one day, but I also know that it may not. It's easier for me personally to work on accepting that it probably won't and not to live on that rollercoaster of hope/despair. This way if it does happen I can be surprised, but if it doesn't I won't be devastated. So keeping my expectations/hopes realistic while also always keeping the possibility open.
I hope that makes sense. Before the early miscarriage I had reached a place of peace with it all. I'm just trying to find that place again.
I am so sorry for your loss ❤️❤️❤️ I'm wishing you all the best on your journey.
Thank you so much for this ❤️ about to enter my tww after my second IUI as a SMBC ❤️ (single mother by choice)
Sending best wishes!!!❤️🙌
@@drlorashahine thank you!! My first one I stopped all exercise and obsessively googled everything and tested like a mad woman 😂 this time I’m going to relax and leave it in the universes hands! I have my Xmas party on Friday too .. what is your opinion on having a drink during the tww?? Like a glass of wine? Or 2? Thanks again ❤️
I love your channel! TY for creating useful and accurate content. Would love a video that explains what the embryo is doing each day during the TWW after a FET. How long does it take to hatch, implant, etc.? This will help me connect with the moment and approach the process with gratitude instead of worry.
Thank you for your feedback- we think implantation occurs the day of or the day after the transfer❤️❤️
Iam waiting fot my pregnancy 🙂everyone pls pray for me😊❤
Currently 3-4 days away from being able to test and I’m going insane 😅 suffered a miscarriage in April and I’m desperate for a positive result
I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish you the best on your journey.
This is the best and only video I needed. I searched for your IUI and landed on this one. I am currently on my 2ww and this has been one of my several 2ww. But listening to your kind and much needed words makes me feel so calm. Literally coughing or sneezing also makes me worry. But I love your approach of dealing with this period. Can use all the wishes and prayers rn. Thank you so much. Much love and power to you.
Thank you so much! Best wishes to you
I am so, so thankful I came across your video this morning 🙏 I am in the 2week waiting period, (first time trying) and have been googling like crazy 🙈 your video has brought such a calmness over me, THANK YOU!
Thank you so much Kayla! I’m so happy the video made you feel that way 😊 Thank you for watching ♥️
So exciting!! Let us know how it goes! 💕
Thank you so much for the awesome tips. I am on post-day 2 of FET. Hoping to get good news soon ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for watching! All the best!
@drlorashahine thank you much ❤️ Can you please tell me my progesterone level was 90 nmol/L on the day of transfer, if it is good or not?
By the way I am on progesterone injections every other day.
Thanks in advance
Currently in my two week waiting period, after my first IUI and this video was just what I needed to watch today. I have twinges which I keep wondering are gas / pain, the progesterone is causing all sorts of weird symptoms like indigestion 😢 and the urge to take a home test is very strong!!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
@@drlorashahine hello doctor just came across your video accidentally, I had my iui 8 days ago I.e on 15th day of my cycle now since 2 days am getting all sort of pms symptoms like stomach cramps , back pain leg pain am frightened to death thinking periods might hit anytime soon 😢 but I have accepted that I can’t change the result
@@aishwaryareddy5805 are you pregnant?
I had to throw it all of the tests in the bin. I’ve got my first consultation tomorrow and already finding it unbearable. I’m wishing you all the best hun.
Now i am in my Tww .. waiting for my liitle one and i am quite sure it will be positive😊😊pray for me thank you
Sending ❤️
I have transferred my beautiful hatching baby 5 days ago and my first symptom was mild constant headache 🙏🏻 I am also providing updates on RUclips bcs I think videos like those are so important. Thank you for this video, Doctor! It really helps!❤
What other do’s and don’ts during TWW? E.g. Alcohol, raw food, charcuterie, unpasteurised cheese, X-rays, ibuprofen, sauna, jacuzzi, etc. Thanks!!
@@alexandregonzalez3733 Thank you for reaching out! It sounds like you have several important questions. Since fertility care is typically ongoing and may require multiple visits, I would ask your local medical provider so they could give you the personal medical advice you need. Best wishes! ❤️🤞🍍
Well said Dr this helps my anxiety 😟 ❤and I’m going to do an action plan to the what if and not test at home instead wait for my body’s magic ! I’m 6 days post frozen embryo transfer today. I listen to my body and have done self care with no fear like light somatic yoga and breath , Qigong feels so good and relaxed at the end I’m a warrior
Just had my embryo transfer last monday! And just in time i am at two week waiting😊. You’re exactly right, i’m distracting myself by working, solving problems at the office even if it’s not my job anymore😅
You got this!
So true... Even I do that🤭😑
Can I know the update like successful or not 😊
I am currently on my 12 days of TWW , I am 37 years and it's my first pregnancy
I'm wishing you all the success on your fertility journey ❤️
I really hope everyone has their own family.
Im also on day 6 after transfer hoping for the positive results. Im really scared.
I would love to see a video on hcg testing after FET and what to expect. I had a positive hcg test and after 48 hrs it did not rise as much as it should. Getting my 3rd hcg test tomorrow. Praying it doubled and we still have a chance. 🙏🏻
This is a great suggestion! I'm wishing you all the best on your journey Madison ❤️🤞🍍
I did my Embryo transfer on 20th November and trying my very best to keep calm. This is my 5th transfer with 7 cycles. I'm really anxious but praying and believing I'll get a positive this time round 🙏🙏🙏
Sending you ❤️🤞🍍
Thank you Doc ❤
Your videos are really helpful and calming. Keep up the good work. We need your calmness and tips that you share with us. Ivf is not an easy journey and i am praying for every woman going through this🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@drlorashahineI did my test yesterday and it turned out positive and I am beyond excited. 7 cycles were not easy on the body. I am now praying that my HCG levels will keep rising and I'll have an easy pregnancy.
I am sending my sincere prayers and blessings to all women who are trying to conceive. May your have the patience, grace and strength to go through this. May your heart desires and prayers to get pregnant be answered. May you hold your babies in your arms soon.
Keep up the good videos Dr Shahine. We need them ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

My FET was yesterday. I’m hoping in 9 days I’m positive. Though I’ve been sleepy and in bed. I hope it doesn’t ruin the implantation

Thankful for this video, very informative it helps me a lot to relax and wait because im currently in TWW and it get me confused on everything thats happening on my body, spotting etc.
Glad I could help! Thank you for watching😊
Today, was our first ever embryo transfer!
I was excited and nervous at the same time.
I am documenting our IVF journey in video form but I wanted to wait before I start to share it and put it out there. Because I don’t know what the outcome would be. Perhaps I can start editing some videos while I’m on the two week wait. That will keep me busy 😂😊
I love you already… soon il give my testimony ❤
Thank you! I look forward to it
Thank you for this! Currently 7dpo and I’m really trying to be patient.
Sending you ❤️🤞🍍
Dear Dr Lora Shahine, Do you have a video about what's happening after first blood test with positive HCG level? Is another blood test necessary in a few days or not always? when is the ultrasound? Your videos are soooo useful, supporting and kind. Thank you :)
I’m seven days post fet … it’s driving me crazy with not so much symptoms and no support at home … anxiety level is sky high … test will be on the 25/7
I'm wishing you best of luck on your journey.
@@drlorashahine thank you .. I’m 9 weeks currently but with so many complications and doctors have no idea what’s going on .. so just praying for the best
