8 days post embryo transfer - positive test ???

[Ggg555]

hi all. I had a blastocyst embryo transfer on the morning of the 22nd July. I felt like my period was coming 100% and I honestly gave up hope. I was crying for the last couple of days and I just had a really swollen lower stomach and needed a wee so I decided spontaneously I’m going to test and it is positive ??? I’m in shock it is our 3rd embryo transfer the other 2 failed and I was convinced this one was the same. Is it too early to test ? Could it be false positive? It’s 8.5 days post transfer and my blood test is booked in 3.5 days.

I’d say it’s a real positive if it was a frozen transfer xx

[Ggg555 in reply to Nenad]

Thank you for your reply. Yes it’s was FET, 5 days blastocyst

[Nenad in reply to Ggg555]

Amazing, congratulations! Keeping everything crossed all goes smoothly from here xx

It looks positive to me, 😀 I would say 8/9 days is pretty accurate. What embryo was it. xxx how are you feeling?

[Ggg555 in reply to Faith103]

Thank you for your reply ☺️ embryo 4AB, blastocyst stage so 5 days old. I’m keeping everything crossed it’s genuinely positive!! I feel exactly the same as I do when I’m about to get my period. Stomach cramps feel a bit more intense though. Sore boobs and been feeling up and down all week. Xx

[Faith103 in reply to Ggg555]

I would say with that quality embyro that you could possibly get a positive test at this stage. It’s looking very promising. Keeping everything crossed for you. 🤞 😃

You saying that you felt like your period is coming has given me some hope. I am only on day 3 past 5 day transfer and I too feel crampy like my period. I’m starting to think I’m out ALREADY! trying to stay positive tho 💪 xxx

[Ggg555 in reply to Faith103]

Thank you ❤️ that is exactly how I felt honestly I phoned my sister and was crying my eyes out as I felt so overwhelmed and exactly the same way as on my previous failed attempts so do not loose hope until you know.

is this your first transfer ? What was your embryo? Xx

I remember having cramps straight after the transfer like couple of hours after and I don’t remember feeling that after my first 2. Obviously everyone is different thought xxx keeping everything crossed for you xxx

[Faith103 in reply to Ggg555]

Like you I had cramping pretty much as soon as I had transfer. I remember feeling it in the car on the way home. My embyro was the last of my batch 5BC Hatching. It’s our lowest quality but it’s hatching so I’m holding onto hope. My son who is now 2.5 years was our first embryo from our batch and he was a 5AA hatching.

Problem is I can’t remember what I felt like with him. It was such a blur. I’ve had 2 failed since my son and I remember just having a feeling they hadn’t worked. I really don’t know how to feel as this is our last shot for completing our family.

Awww bless you. Sounds like you’ve been all over the place with emotions. It’s such a touch journey. It looks good up to now for you. Xxxx

[Ggg555 in reply to Faith103]

it’s amazing that you already have a son & fingers crossed this one works for you & you can complete your family 🫶🏼

Yes I really have. It’s been a though journey overall. I fell pregnant naturally after 2 years of trying but unfortunately had a miscarriage. Since then we started exploring IVF. I’m hoping this is finally some good news, can’t help to get excited!!

[Faith103 in reply to Ggg555]

Like you I’ve also had several miscarriages and one ectopic. I lost my tube and I also have endometriosis so I think I just need some help with the journey. I think this is the case with a lot of woman. They just need the little extra help. I will be rooting for you on your test day. 🤞

I’m due to either have bloods on the 07th or urine on the 9th. I think I will see how I feel as time goes on. It’s so hard as we worry when we cramp and worry when we don’t lol. I think if you’ve got a positive on a clear blue it means your hgc levels are high as they take longer to pick up levels. So I’m feeling positive to you.

Hope the next few days goes quick for you and the next week goes quick for me. Try and stay positive xxx

[Ggg555 in reply to Faith103]

Sorry to hear about your losses. You have been through a lot. keep trooping❤️

I’ll keep you posted. I booked my blood test for the 3rd Aug, the clinic said to book it for the 4th but I can’t find a same day result place so I booked it for the 3rd as otherwise would need to wait an extra couple of days and if need be I will repeat on the 7th Aug.

Fingers crossed next week goes quick for us both 🤞🏻🤞🏻

How are you getting on Faith103 ?

I’m not doing so great. I suddenly got a migraine and my boobs stopped being sore. I took another test yesterday and line was getting darker but it is getting lighter now (test without a date written on).

I can’t help but feeling like I’m losing it 😢

HCG dropping

[Ggg555]

I just wanted to share with you the update a!! I got my Beta HCG blood test results back today and it’s 736. ❤️❤️ blood was taken 12 days post embryo transfer. we are so happy, today is our 5th wedding anniversary this is such an amazing gift 💗

[Nenad in reply to Ggg555]

Amazing! Very happy for you. May the rest of your pregnancy be smooth xx

[JasmineW89]

ah congratulations! That’s amazing news! I’ve just been researching symptoms 7dp5dt because that’s where I am today and I’m getting worried because my sore boobs have calmed down and i had cramping day 5 but nothing really since. This is our 6 ivf cycle, and the first one I’ve done after recovering from two ectopic pregnancies last year (each time I was internally bleeding and ruptured so my tubes have been removed)…I really want this to work because I don’t know how many more cycles I can do. We don’t have any children yet either. I’m debating whether to test tomorrow (8dp5dt) or whether to just wait..I’m worried it’s going to be negative… x

[Ggg555 in reply to JasmineW89]

Hi lovely. I completely understand all your emotions. My boobs stopped being sore for a day too whilst I had a migraine and i had exactly the same thoughts. Try to stay positive it’s still early and these symptoms really aren’t always accurate. Do you have any other symptoms? I remember feeling like I’m short of breath around day 8-9 like there isn’t enough air, I also had hot flushes and cramps like period ones I felt them the most on day 8 post transfer but they were on and off since transfer day. What embryo did you transfer?

I tested for the first time on day 8 and this is the original post on this trail.I really did not expect it as I felt exactly the way I feel when my period is coming. I am keeping everything crossed for you. Good luck 💗💗

[JasmineW89 in reply to Ggg555]

Thanks so much for for this- it’s so hard not to read into every symptom!

So we didn’t have a grading when it was transferred as it was just opening up but as we only had one the said it would be best to transfer it (also stressful).

In terms of symptoms, I’ve had night sweats day 5 and 6, vivid dreams and tender boobs but the tender boobs have gone today. I still feel a bit bloated. I also have had some cramps today but I’m worried these are period cramps as my period due date is tomorrow (day 8 post egg transfer).

Weirdly I was exhausted and tired every day up until today. Today I’ve had a bit more energy which feels like it shouldn’t be the case..

I really want to test tomorrow but also scared if it’s negative xxx

[Ggg555 in reply to JasmineW89]

Aww let me know how you get on. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I also had vivid dreams(nightmares 😬)and night sweats that might be a positive sign.

[JasmineW89 in reply to Ggg555]

Sadly I had a full on red bleed this afternoon and lots of really painful cramping. I’m devastated xx

[Ggg555 in reply to JasmineW89]

I am so sorry to hear that. It’s such a hard journey and can be so heartbreaking. I’m really sorry that it wasn’t successful for you and sending lots of love.
