2 week wait

Hi everyone,

I am currently in my 2ww after a frozen embryo transfer. This is day 6 for me. Is it too early to take a home pregnancy test? I have had some symptoms:

Day 1: fatigue, bloating

Day 2: smell aversions, fatigue, hunger, breast tenderness, bloating

Day 3: fatigue, bloating

Day 4: breast tenderness, light cramping

Day 5: no symptoms

Day 6: fatigue, light cramping, emotional :(

I am on a antihistamine protocol where I am taking Claritin, Pepcid, Prednisone, Crinone, Estrace and progesterone oil.

Sending blessings to you all.

Hi, 6 days is a bit early, I would hold off for a few more days if you can! Otherwise you might get a false negative. Did you transfer a day 3 or day 5 embryo? I'm on day 2 after my FET and the wait is driving me crazy!! Best of luck to you 🤞 xxxx

Thank you! Best of luck to you as well. Eat well and stay hydrated is what they say!

I transferred a day 5 embryo. I’m driving myself crazy googling symptoms :(

Oh dear, you're approaching the halfway stage and getting the crazies!! Hope the symptoms you're feeling are the real thing. I'd hold off a few more days - if you get a negative now there's still a fair chance it's just too early and you'll just be in limbo for a few more days anyway but feeling worse than you do now after having seen the blank test. Fingers crossed for you xxx

Yup too early 😂 it’s pointless in terms of relieving the stress!! If it’s positive you will worry it will stick to test day, if it’s negative it won’t tell you anything as it’s Possibly too early for the test to detect the hormone so you will just start driving yourself crazy peeing on a stick every day (and possibly night too) anyway until test day. I am speaking from experience here so maybe you won’t be as crazy/stressed as I! 🤪 Earliest I’ve tested was day 8 I think but did instantly regret it for the above reasons! Good luck I have my fingers and toes crossed for you 🤗🤞🏽 Xx

Thank you all so much. It’s been an extremely rough road, so to have people I don’t even know rooting for me means the world to me. :)

It is very early. I took test at 6days 7days and 9days - all negative. Was so upset as had similar symptoms to you- bloated, spotting & cramping. These can be symptoms of crinone gel. Went for blood test at 11days post 5day FET and got a positive. Really avoid home testing as it’s so misleading and can add stress to you and baby. Best wishes to you for next two weeks

Avoid early test pls, is mind torturing, I tested 9dop, it was negative I was mad, and then I repeated on the test day and got bfp, did blood work, got same bfp and am 23w 5 days now,

I know is so crazy waiting, but it will do you a lot of good if you can wait till test day,

Sending you all the positive vibes and 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Hello!

I just wanted to update everyone on my 2ww... My blood test ( Beta) was actually scheduled for today (day 9), but I caved and took 2 HPTs last night which both showed BFP! However, my excitement soon came to an end when I found out my beta results from today were only a 6 :( I was advised to continue my meds and repeat blood on Tuesday. I know it’s still early, but it’s hard to not think the worst.

Hope you all are well.
