Day5 post 5day transfer

[lolly2019]

Evening all! I am totally losing my mind today! First couple of days after transfer I felt great, ,felt some twinges and cramps and until yesterday felt mild butterflies too. Today I’ve had mild cramps but very very teary!! Have now convinced myself my symptoms are pms! Not a good day! Half way to my test date and just want it over with now. Whatever will be will be, but this wait is wreaking my head! Arghhhhh. I’m usually a positive person so hate feeling meh! Rant over. Anyone else freaking out?

Hey! I felt nearly exactly the same! So my first cycle was a total failure , I didn’t feel anything at all. I know loads of people get no symptoms and have BFPs but I swear my stomach (is still) like twinges, cramps, almost a sharp pulling motion sometimes. It feels awfully unnerving!!! So i super hope that these are positive signs for you! And the emotions just are with me so much during ivf. Good luck hun not too long to go for you. Xxxx

Thank you for replying! Feel a bit better this morning after shouting at my partner and crying myself to sleep last night 😳🙈Think the trying to read symptoms and overthinking everything and going about, business as usual just got to me yesterday! Huge congratulations to you!!! Hope you are managing to relax and enjoy your BFP! So exciting!!!!!

Hi lolly, I’m 1dp5dt and I’ve been a mess! I am on extra progesterone this time since I bled early last time and it is making me into a crazy person. I’ve also been feeling super emotional so have to believe it’s down to all of the broom ones circulating! Wishing you all the best xx

[lolly2019 in reply to Peony85]

Thank you so much! It’s such an emotional rollercoaster as everyone says!! Feel a bit better this morning after a cry in bed last night!! Away to walk the dog for some fresh air! Good luck to you!!x

[lolly2019 in reply to rosieie]

Thank you!! I never got this far first time round so well done you and wishing you lots and lots of luck!!!! X

Keep thinking positively. The cramps could also be from implantation. Fingers crossed for you xxx

[lolly2019 in reply to LKT1]

Thank you! Feel a bit better this morning so back to the positive mindset and trying to relax. Needed a cry obviously as cried myself to sleep! Acupuncture and big dog walk this morning xxx

I'm 4dp5dt and also feeling pretty crazy already.. Iiterally all I think about 🙈 but from being on this forum a whole I've learnt that it's basically impossible to tell if it's worked from symptoms or lack of them.. Wishing you all the luck xx

[lolly2019 in reply to aamiller405]

Thank you! I know, this forum has been such a help!! Good luck to you! When is your OTD? Xx

[everhopeful83]

Yes exactly the same over here, you’re not alone 🙈 this 2WW does crazy things to your head 😆

Wishing you lots & lots of luck for OTD🤞🏼💞💫xxx

[lolly2019 in reply to everhopeful83]

Thank you for replying! Up/down/up/down/up...feeling a lil better this morning so getting back in to a positive mindset!! Good luck to you!! When is your OTD? Xx

[everhopeful83 in reply to lolly2019]

Thank you! It’s definitely a rollercoaster 🎢🙈 OTD is Monday for me, I’m so scared😆 but will deal with the result whatever it may be 💖 going to try enjoy my weekend & worry about Monday on Monday, but it’s very difficult! Xxx

Awwww sorry to hear you have been feeling like this. Am feeling similar things and one part of me is trying to think this is a good sign of being pregnant but so hard when I think maybe just side effects of progesterone. Last night I felt so crap was asleep by 9pm which is so not like me. I was up to toilet twice which again is not like me. I keep thinking it’s a good sign but again may be the progesterone. Today am feeling a lot better with having a good nights sleep x

[lolly2019 in reply to Hope76]

Thank you for replying. Had an awful day. Tues and wed I was exhausted and got to sleep early but last night I was so teary (and shouted at partner) and lay awake til 2am 😳so tired now but do feel a bit better today. Think I just needed a cry. So hard thinking pregnant/not pregnant on repeat. Had cramps this morning but seem to have gone for now. Hope you slept well again last night xxx

[Hope76 in reply to lolly2019]

This all sounds so familiar, last night was my first early night since transfer. The night before I was lying awake for hours, mind working overtime and yes at least one night this week I have shouted at partner oops 🙊

I find long walks help clear my mind, am out tonight with my mum to walk 5k. I was fairly fit, running, workouts etc but find since injections scared to do too much plus don’t really feel like it x

[Fingerscrossed34]

I think 5dp5dt is the day to go crazy! I was exactly the same yesterday but just think how patient we’ve had to be so far already to get to this point! Another week is nothing compared to that. 🤞 for you. x

[lolly2019 in reply to Fingerscrossed34]

Thank you! It is the trying to be calm and positive and go about things business as usual that’s exhausting I think. Think that’s probably why I ended up teary yesterday! Feel a bit better this morning! Lots of luck to you!!!xx

I’m 8dp5dt and I’m trying to do everything just not to think that I got another long 4days to go ...

I’m not sure what is good signs because is unmediated cycle...

I’m just scared to even test...which one part is thinking...”just do it and get on with your life”...other part don’t because u wouldn’t be able to “pickup the pieces “....😔xx

[lolly2019 in reply to Olivia1980xxx]

I feel the same. I said I’d test today, day 6 when is apparently a time you ‘might’ get an accurate reading but now I’m thinking no, I’ll wait just Incase I get a false negative and have to try and deal with that and the emotions that go with it over next few days!! My OTD is Tuesday so Im only on a ten day wait, 4 days to go too...it’s hell! Going to try my best to wait until Tuesday! Good luck to you!!! Hope you’ve got some nice things to do over the weekend to distract yourself xx

[Olivia1980xxx in reply to lolly2019]

My hubby said after transfer that we not gonna test early this time ....I agree.

I don’t know what goes in his mind all those days ...he don’t ask instead reminding me not to lift anything and if we go for lunch he checks the menu and if is something I want he ask me if “is safe for me to eat that”...bless him.

I think he is scared too but trying to stay positive.

I drop my little girl to nursery and I went for some shopping...just come back home so I’m gonna keep my self busy by cooking some beef stew with dumplings...

The worst r evenings when hubby is at work ....I even go sleep early just not to think ...😔xx

Yes lolly I'm on the same schedule as you OTD Tues, yepo I've cracked up now too, I don't actually want to test happy to wait but I'm so exhausted, hot/cold, irritable, crampy, randomly start crying over nothing...so much fun!!! Hope you got a nice dog walk in ! We are moving into a house in a few months so will be getting a dog , I walk a neighbour's at the mo which is so theraputic x

[lolly2019 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you! I did and do feel better for getting my daily dose of fresh air and playtime with my pup (he’s not a pup actually, he’s 12!!) How exciting to look forward to a new house and getting a dog! Mine really has been my number 1 soul soother and companion since I got him! Haha he’s a total therapet! I felt fine emotionally until yesterday then just became very teary and shouted at my partner 😳🙈even now I feel like I could cry at anything!! Hope you have some nice things planned for the weekend to distract you! Good luck!!!xx

I don’t know how people can stand to wait to test! My clinic doesn’t do a beta HCG test until 14dp5dt for FETs. I got a positive at 4dp5dt on an HPT with my fresh cycle, a FET that ended in miscarriage, and in my current cycle. I’m 11dp5dt and still testing at least twice a day!

[lolly2019 in reply to Kikiwaits]

I’m too scared to 😕only got until Tuesday to wait! My clinic does bloods 10days post 5dt.x

[Intothewoods2]

Hi! I don’t think there’s any way not to lose your mind after transfer. It’s horrible! Go easy on yourself. Best advice I had from a friend was, don’t try to be positive, aim for neutral. Distracting myself with Netflix, podcasts, cooking ANYTHING, helped a bit too. Good luck! X

[lolly2019 in reply to Intothewoods2]

Thank you for replying. That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to achieve...neutral. Don’t want to try be positive when it could go either way, and trying not to be negative...but it’s sooooo hard!! Away to the beach with my dog for some soul soothing!!
