2WW is so tough!

I had EC and ET last week and waiting til 29th June..😬 I’ve had quite a bit of cramping since transfer and tender tummy to touch since EC - luckily I took this week off work but filling the days is tough ... how soon could I test as I know I can’t wait ?

Also with fresh IVF cycle when do you typically get a scan and can you pay for one earlier ? As last time with natural pregnancy I miscarried around 7-8 weeks (we found out at 12 wk scan) and would prefer to scan before if possible for peace of mind. Forever hopeful 😇 🥚

The trouble with testing early is you might get disappointed by BFN when actually BFP is just about to happen I do totally get it tho and my daughter got her +'ve 2 days early couldn't wait either! Also she had an early scan at 6 weeks though she was warned they don't always find a heartbeat then she has had a couple of private scans in between the official ones just for reassurance too good luck when you test really hope you get your BFP x

Thank you - did she go elsewhere for her early scans or at a clinic ?

Sorry just saw this she had the 1st scan at the fertility clinic then also had a scan at EPU and a couple of private scans at a local private clinic

Hi I tested at 6dp5dt. But it is better to wait to avoid disappointment. The clinic gave me my first scan at 7weeks 2days which showed a blob and heart beating. Then we paid for a private scan at 9weeks 2days. Just Google ultrasound in your area and there should be at least one place. But you'll get your viability scan with your clinic around the 7 week mark. Good luck xx

As I have zero patience I start testing from 5 or 6 days post 5 day transfer and a good 12-14 days post trigger shot. My positives at this stage have always stayed positive but I had 2 consecutive ivf chemical pregnancies which were detected by blood tests and decreasing levels of hcg. I know it’s hard but stay positive, keep distracted (good book, box set etc) and you’ll get there before you know it. Good luck!! 🤞🏼 xxx

Thank you for your good luck wishes ...

Try not to test before your otd as you could get an unreliable result which could be very upsetting. If you get your bfp you’ll have a scan around 6 weeks. Good luck xx

Same thing here! I had my transfer on Monday so I will have to wait till the 28th. I have promised myself not to test to avoid disappointment. It will not be easy but we must resist!
