Ivf transfer

[Luceleigh]

Hi guys I am 3 days past transfer I have period cramps and thrush so bad sorry for the TMI I am also on the Estrogen pessarys so it could be those that give me it but it's so scary as I feel like I am going to have a period should I be feeling anything as yet really praying it works

Wishing you best of luck sweetie! Please ignore any symptoms you may have during the 2ww as it will only drive you crazy. The pessaries are known to give you lots of false symptoms which could convince you you are pregnant or that your period coming. Best thing you can do is to try and relax and distract yourself as much as possible with things you enjoy doing and don’t take your test until your official test day if you can possibly wait that long- I know it’s hard but your results will be more accurate if you wait. Fingers crossed for you xx

Thank you very much my mind is in over drive atm I need to distract myself, I have all my normal period symptoms so that has knocked my hope slightly but I have to let nature take its course I guess xx

Hi Luceleigh. The thrush you have won't upset your transfer, but it might be an idea to ask your GP for some cream or a one-off tablet to settle it down. The cramps could be from the management of your womb during transfer, and it's just settling back down again. Don't forget to drink plenty of water too. Hope you soon feel better and all turns out OK for you.
