Hi ladies I’m new to this site so I’m not sure on all shortened letters etc

So we had a 5 day blastocyst transfer on Saturday just gone had 3 embryos but 1 wasn’t good enough to keep so 2 was really good had 1 frozen which we was really lucky to do.

So today is only my day 2 I’m not sure what I should be feeling I’ve had some cramps and feel bloated is this normal?? No bleeding or spotting though so worried as I had a right ectopic in 2008 and never had any treatment after worried I will have a left one now anyone out there that can give me any tips or advice of what they been through or going through now?

Thanks xx

Hi lovely, are you taking progesterone? I always feel bloated, sick and generally rubbish on progesterone. Hopefully you don't find your two week wait too difficult. When are you doing your test? x

Hi ya yes I’m taking the cyclogest twice a day I’ve only felt bloated today really but had some cramps and feeling uncomfortable all of today not sure if that’s good or bad test is meant to be on 29th x

Try not to read too much in to anything, the cyclogest can give you pregnancy symptoms, it always makes me feel rubbish. Try and stay busy and not worry too much (impossible I know) x

My blood test is on 29th too! I’ve just had bloating and cramping once for about half an hour. Fingers crossed for us both 🤞🤞

Hi, I had a transfer last Saturday also. Most of your symptoms are from the progesterone as well as settling down from all the procedures. Some ladies get implantation pain and sometimes a bleed but not one person is the same. There is no right or wrong. The 2ww is very hard. Keep busy, eat well and look after yourself. I’m on cycle 4. I’m also bloated and period like cramps. Which are all expected. Weirdly today I haven’t got many side effects at all. Best I’ve felt in 6 weeks which is always a worry! Even 4 cycles in I still google and symptom spot. And worry constantly. It’s difficult not to. Have you tried meditation? I had a coaching course for IVF and have MP3’s to listen to. I take 20 mins out each day to unwind and relax. I’m also going to do yoga this cycle. Good luck. Xx

Hi exhaustion is my main thing at the moment. My cramps are always there like twinges in the back ground. How are you today? X

It’s so hard to tell on the 2 week wait as it’s so so similar to symptoms of periods. I thought it was game over for me as I even got a couple of spots like I usually do when it’s my time of the month but I ended up with a bfp. Wishing you all the best 💕🤞🏼

Jen oh congratulations to you well done so so happy for you how bad was your pains? How far are you now? Touch wood I got no bleeding just the pains x

It was pretty mild cramping and I felt really tired, grumpy and would cry at anything. I just went and lay down whenever I got the chance and read mags and chilled out. I had clear discharge and felt like periods were coming, I had no bleeding. I tested day 10 of 5dayblasto. I’m 8 weeks now and still get mild cramps every so often and clear discharge everyday. My fingers are tightly crossed 🤞🏼 for you 😘💕 xx

I’ve started to feel really tired too just put that down to stress and getting up early lol I’m getting discharge but that’s the cyclogest I believe how bad was your pain mine feel like sharp but don’t last long they come and go I’m only on day 3 of my 5 day blasto! How long does the trigger shot last in your body? A massive congrats to you 💜💜 xx

Morning ladies hope your all ok today woke up with cramps again trying to stay positive but as the days go by and I get more cramps I’m losing hope yesterday the pain was mostly on the left side today seems to be more centre and right going out of my mind here still trying to keep busy and positive x

gemmy999 in reply toSexy376

Easily said but Try not to worry. It’s still really early and it’s likely the side effects from the progesterone xx

Sexy376 in reply togemmy999

At what stage would you start feeling anything? If you was pregnant? I guess no blood is a good sign but the pains are annoying! 😓😓

gemmy999 in reply toSexy376

Everyone is different. It’s generally too early in the 2ww to know especially with all the side effects you get from the progesterone. It’s so frustrating. Doesn’t stop me symptom spotting. I haven’t got many side effects this time. Which I’ve worried about. Blood can also mean many things, good or bad. I find the 2ww mentally a struggle. Keep strong xx
