Advice - Day 11 post 5 day FET and feeling exhausted!

Hello lovely ladies

Hope you’re all well and having a good week. I’m 11 days post FET with a 5 day embryo and the last few days I’ve felt really exhausted! Today I came home from work and after dinner I fell asleep for two hours on our bed after dinner. I did the same last night too! I’m sure it’s all the medications but wanted to see if others have experienced this too?

I’m literally counting the days till OTD on Friday. I’m planning to test after work so I can deal with the result over the weekend. Is it okay to test at the end of the day not the start? xxx 🌈🍀🤞❤️🍍

I’m almost sure if your a lucky lady wether you test day or night and your pregnant the test will be positive although as we all know first urine of the day is best .Good luck it could be early pregnancy fatigue and I sincerely hope that it is look forward to seeing good news xx

It’s funny how different clinics give differing test dates. Mine was always 11 days and I did 6 twws. Anyhow, just to say, take your sample in the morning and use that sample to test in the evening.. Good luck xx

It was the first thing I noticed as a 2WW symptom, not able to make it through the day without falling asleep after work! x

Thank you for sharing your experience. 😊🤞I’m trying to not get too hopeful but I definitely feel this fatigue is not ‘normal’ so hoping this is a good sign. I slept well last night too so there is no reason for me to feel this tired. This is our first transfer so I’m trying to not get too excited but also keeping hopeful. It’s so hard though! Xx

It is, it's a tough process and I think it's important to be positive, let's hope you'll be permanently exhausted for the foreseeable future 👍🏼x

I've been told to test first thing however I'm dreading taking the test before work as I'm not feeling hopeful. Good luck! X

Thank you. Don't know about you but I'm really scared!! I tested at 3 days and 8 days both negative - my 8 day test looked like an evaporation line) I've had zero symptoms so not feeling hopeful. I'm already focusing on my next embryos tbh.

Keeping everything crossed for you! X

Kat_15 in reply toJessy1280

Me too! I’m terrified to test as this is our first transfer and I have never been pregnant before. In a way I like not knowing at the moment but I also want to know! 😊I have resisted testing so far but it’s been so hard not to!

Keeping everything crossed for you. I have read lots of ladies stories on here who have had no symptoms and got a BFP so hopefully this will be you. Sending you a virtual hug! 🍀🤞🍀🤞 xxx

I think I underestimated how difficult it would be to distract myself..im literally thinking about it 99.9% of the day lol. Noticing every twinge etc. Its only day 3, long way to go yet but generally feeling pretty positive so far xo

It could be medication but it’s a very good sign. Same thing happened to me and I got my BFP! So I have my fingers crossed for you xxx

Kat_15 in reply toLKT1

Aww thank you, I really hope so but trying not to get my hopes up too much. Many congrats on your BFP, so pleased for you. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy. xxx ps. Did you test first thing or do it in the evening?

LKT1 in reply toKat_15

Thanks. I did mine in the morning as that’s what my clinic recommended. I woke up at 3am and forced myself to wait until 5am when I could wait no longer. I only had to wait 11days though and that was difficult enough. You may get a more accurate result if you could possibly manage to hold on until Sat morning but I know you have already waited long enough! Check instructions on your pregnancy test to see if it requires morning sample.🤞🏻Xx

Kat_15 in reply toLKT1

Thanks for your advice, I will do that. I think I will test on Friday morning now as I’m going to work from home now. Xx

Aww I think this is a good sign. I remember the first time I was pregnant I was so utterly exhausted I was at work (nanny) and I had to go and lie down on the bathroom floor for a few minutes! It's like a wave of tiredness. I was in bed by 8:30pm every night! Best of luck xx
