Post embryo transfer, pre pregnancy angst.....please help!!!!!

Hello I wasn’t really given any info about this period just told to keep with same tablets/pessaries/injection and do a pregnancy test on day 16.

I’m trying to be calm and positive but I’m quite angsty especially as I stated feeling mild cramps the day after the transfer but not on the day (transfer was 2 days ago.. Sunday). Does this mean my period is coming? I’ve just had a long night of various dream scenarios where I started bleeding.

Any tips for relaxing or on what I can do to help the transfer attach?? Or advice on how I may feel physically?

Thank you!

Hi SimsB. Pains are usually due to after effects of procedures, pulling you about. They will settle. Hormones settling back too can cause all sorts of headaches and weird feelings. Try and keep busy and the time will pass. Good luck! Diane

Thanks Diane!

Hi, I had my transfer on Sunday too. I went back to work on Monday. I’m trying not to analyse every feeling in my body.

My mindset is very much expect the worst, hoe for the best.

Good luck x

Oh Catherine best of luck! I’m trying not to think about it too much and my transfer wasn’t at all smooth so I’m not feeling very hopeful although I know I’m meant to be thinking positive. Fingers sooooooo crossed for ALL of us x

Excellent new!! Congratuksyiins!!

I tested early on Monday as couldnt resist and mine positive too. Absolutely flabergasted! Very pleased but also terrified as I lost my baby this year at 5.5 months. I’m just going to try and relax and be positive and healthy.

Best of luck to the both of us x

Congratulations! I’m so please for you.

I’ve been desperate to test but promised my husband I’d wait until I got back from holiday.

I feel very calm whereas he’s emotional.

I can’t imagine the mix of emotions you must be feeling. Look after yourself.

in reply to SimsB

Yes still working. I didn’t even need a day off for the transfer as it was my weekend off and I was away for the end of the 2ww. x
