Symptoms after FET

12 Replies

Hello ladies,

I had my 5AA transfer on Thursday and I am now 3DPT5DT. I wanted to hear from people who have had their positives already to see whether you had any symptoms early on that are likely no progesterone symptoms.

Immediately after my transfer I had twitchy feelings as I left the hospital. Had on and off very mild cramps since Thursday along with a dull feeling also especially last night. I don’t think it’s period cramps could be progesterone but I didn’t really have this with the progesterone before the transfer.

Also I have full feeling, sensitive boobs (again could be the progesterone) and I have been feeling very nauseous since yesterday.

How did everyone else feel by 3 days past transfer. Does these symptoms sound familiar ?

Trying to to not worry but the 2WW wait is hard and thought it would be good to chat it over if anyone is willing.

Xxx

Hi.

Hope you are okay as you can be with the 2ww it’s never easy.

I had a 5AA Hatching blastocyst transferred and I felt pulling and aches and pains almost instantly. It felt like my right side was slightly tugging.

I also had period type cramps in the middle of my womb. I got a positive and I am now 9 weeks pregnant.

5AA is a very good quality embryo so try not to panic to much with feeling things going on. It’s prob your embryo getting comfy.

Lost of rest and try and stay off google.

Good luck 😉❤️ xxxx

Try not to worry

Hi Faith103

Thank you for your response and congratulations on your pregnancy 🥰🥰

That’s exactly how I felt in the day and days following transfer. I could have wrote that myself.

I figured with it being a “5” that it was already starting to hatch and that implantation could happen quickly.

Can I ask when did you test? Was it 14 days or did you test early? My test date is August 6th. Trying to stick it out.

Thank you ❤️

Yes that’s right it should happen pretty quickly. I felt the pulling the same day on one side.

I waiting until 12 days later I was supposed to wait until 14 but I knew it would show up at 12. I would say wait as long as you can.

Have you had surgery for endo in the past.? Xxxx

Hi Faith103

Thank you, I will try to wait it out. I am off work but go back on August 3rd and my test day is August 6th.

I had a lap which discovered the endometriosis (stage 4 also) but the doctor said it was to severe to remove. Then I had another lap 6 months later to get both tubes clipped because of fluid leaking from one of my tubes. The dr said it would improve my IVF chances by doing that so we did.

Thanks for your support. How have you found your pregnancy so far? Xx

Pregnancy has been okay. Just normal pregnancy. It’s nice to be free of endo pains.

I’ve only got one tube unfortunately I lost my right tube due to ectopic. My other tube is still there but I have some fluid round my ovary so like you they are worried the fluid may spill into that tube so I could lose that tube too.

You will be fine I think the hardest part with endo is the journey I think once you bypass the tubes and put the embryo back where it belongs you have a very good chance.

Hold off as long as you can it’s best not to early test as it’s not always accurate and you can drive yourself mad.

Try and act like the transfer hasn’t happened and live as normal as you can. xxxx positive vibes you have a very good embryo 😃

Thank you Faith103

I am glad your pregnancy is progressing and I am also excited for no endo pain. I do think the cramps (twinges are not period related because as you know, those are severely sore).

Can I ask did you have any other symptoms during the 2WW or did things ease off and you felt normal? Sorry for so many questions.

Yeah, I just don't plan on buying tests until the day before test day and will hold out until the 6th :) xxx

It’s fine ask all you need to ask. I kept feeling sick about 8 days after transfer. Tired and sore boobs. Also I found with the pulling pains I also had lower back pain. Nothing bad just could feel small aches at the bottom of my back.

Yes I remember the pains at the beginning I still have them now they are nothing compared to endo pains. They are dreadful 😔.

Definitely wait until test day or as near as you can and try and use a first response as I’ve heard from the girls these are the best ones so I used one of them ones.xxxx

Thank you Faith103 your so kind :) <3

I am feeling sick on and off since yesterday but I am only 3 days past transfer. I do also have the sore heavy boobs but I slightly had that with the progesterone.

Not really had any sore back pains, maybe they will come. I will buy some First Response, thanks for the recommendation. It is very scary to do a pregnancy test but I am positive for good results.

That's very true about the endo pains. I know if those minor cramps was my period then I would be feeling awful by now. Thanks for your encouragement, you have really helped me feel better :)
