Hi Folks, I'm 9 days post 5 day top quality blast transfer and am waiting to test on the 13th March. Symptoms so far were really bad cramping on ET day and then on and off dull cramps and sharp like ovulation pains since, headaches, slight nausea and over the last 3 days a sore throat and exhaustion (I have had to have a 2 hour nap the last two days). Could just be a virus or general run down from the last few months. Boobs were also sore for the first week but only tend to feel heavy in the morning now but not as sore overall. I know that I have quite a few symptoms however it's a constant battle of your head telling you these could be good signs and then also that they could just be the progesterone pessaries. This is our first round so I have no experience of the symptoms of progesterone as I was pretty sore after egg collection when I first started taking it. I know a lot of people get a BFP with no symptoms at all, so don't know if all mine are good news or just in my head! Gosh the 2WW has made me a little crazy! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Helc,

I’m exactly the same!! I’m testing tomorrow (should be weds but my other half is away with work). I have been spotting (brown) since Thursday but that seems to have trailed off a bit now. Also sore boobs have disappeared, but have had period like cramps, nausea in the evenings mainly and I’m so so tired with a sore throat! So pretty similar to you. I’m hoping it’ll be a good sign, but you just never know!

Keep positive and hopefully you’ll get your BFP 😊 xx

Hi Catlady, I thought I was ok with the 2ww but boy does it drag! Good luck to you, I hope you get those two lines tomorrow!

I had ET on Saturday and had nothing but cramping since. Really big sore boobs- but had that since EC. The progesterone has made me ravenous and I’ve been having naps too.

It’s mad how much we look for every little thing isn’t it.

I’ve had no spotting yet but the cramps today are the worst they have been. Going to rest up for the rest of the evening. Good luck x

Yeh I had horrendous cramps the afternoon of transfer, like the worst period cramps ever, seemed to subside by the Monday and just be on and off then. Yep it's totally mental how you analyse every little twinge and feeling. I am testing on Friday and I don't know if I want it to come or not - eeeekk! Also it looks like we have the same diagnosis, MIF our main issue is morphology and slight motility. Hope the cramps calm down for you.

I think I will test earlier than my date. How long after transfer would you say you could test?

I just edited that reply as I saw on your profile you have the same diagnosis as us - MIF. I have read online people get positives as early as day 5 post 5dt but it depends how big your trigger shot was as you could potentially get a false positive which wouldn't be great. I think day 10 to be on the safe side and ensure all HCG from trigger shot is out, assuming you had a fresh cycle.

My husband want to test this weekend which would be 8/9 days.

My trigger shot was the green pen 275 ml I think. That seems ages ago now 😂🙈
