I need to vent 7dp5dt (FET)

[Sas1101]

Hi ladies, I'm very new to this site but have already felt very supported. I find it a great place to write down my feelings without looking like a crazy woman 🤪

I'm 7dp5dt and having one of those low days again. I had some noticeable cramps on 3 and 4dp. These definitely felt 'different' to cramping in my previous cycle so was feeling hopeful. I've also had intermittent shooting pains and slight sore boobs but have been experiencing these less and less as the days have gone on. Today when I woke my sore boobs disappeared after about 10 mins and I don't feel anything. In fact I'm feeling empty, if that makes sense. I'm trying to hide how I'm feeling around my hubby as he doesn't like seeing me upset but it's so hard.

Sorry I know I probably sound like a crazy woman and just writing this down is helping. I'm not sure what I'm even looking for but just wanted to get it out there. Thank you all for reading.

S. xx

Hey Sas!

Ahh you do not sound any more crazy than anyone in the 2ww 🤪

You’re doing great! I had cramps until day 5 and then nothing - in fact I had tired legs after that which is a sign my period is due but I actually got a positive result so I’m giving you some hope and hoping for you too.

I think the thing with boobs is you kind of get used to the sore feeling so it never feels as bad as the start and also your body will be used to progesterone now I’d say, so any symptoms may not be as strong. I’m just over 9 weeks and mine aren’t as sore every day, it really comes and goes.

Have you listened to the Mindful IVF app? It was a god send for me and relaxed me so much in my 2ww.

Try and relax. I know it’s hard but you’ve done everything you can 💞

Wishing you lots of luck for test day 🙏🏼💞xxx

Thank you so much for your lovely message ❤️ It's so nice to have ladies who know exactly what the IVF tww is like.

Your message has made me feel so much better and you're right I've done everything I can. Im on annual leave this week which isn't helping so have planned some bit and bibs for the next few days to help.

I have listened to the mindful IVF app but that was at the beginning. Thanks for reminding me about this I will definitely have a listen again over the next few days

Congrats on your bfp! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy. Xxxx

You’re welcome, glad it helped!

Sounds like a good plan to have some things to do. Time drags otherwise!

There is a 2ww section which is perfect for now and how you’re feeling ☺️

Thank you so much! 😘 xxx

TWW crazies are horrible!! I took a wobbler around this time. Completely normal to feel physically normal and still have a good result. Nothing will tell you for sure other than your OTD. Wishing you all the best for that - try and stay busy as best you can! Thinking of you xx

[Sas1101 in reply to Itsalongjourney26]

Thank you so much for you thinking of me 💕 I'm definitely having a wobbler today. I have planned for the next few days so will keep myself busy. Will keep everyone updated. Only 3 more sleeps! Xxx

Hey! Just wanted to say that I am 11dp5dt and have gotten a light bfp on 9dp5dt- I felt exactly the same with the empty feeling/ light cramps day 3/4 and was sure I was out. Wishing you the best of luck 🤞🏻

[Sas1101 in reply to Mehove2]

Thank you for replying. This makes me feel so much better. I want to test tomorrow at 9dp5dt but my hubby doesn't want to 😩 only one extra day to wait I suppose.

Congrats on your bfp! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy xxx

[Mehove2 in reply to Sas1101]

You’re very welcome! My husband is the same 😂 Thank you for the well wishes!

Sounds positive to me. I had similar cramps with both of mine and they turned into little boys! Sounds like it’s going well for you so far. Try to share your feelings with your husband. I’m sure he doesn’t like to see you upset, but I bet he’d like it less if he knew you were struggling and not telling him. You’re in this together. I will keep my fingers cross for you! x

Ps I got a bfp on day 8 of my 5 day fet.

[Sas1101 in reply to DC5867]

Thank you so much DC 😘 Sometimes im feeling really positive it's worked and then other times I'm feeling like a crazy lady.

I had a chat with my hubby this morning and have lots of cuddles which was lovely ❤️

Xxx

[DC5867 in reply to Sas1101]

Lots of cuddles definitely what is needed right now, that’s lovely. Embrace your inner crazy lady, she’s probably going to stick around for a while lol! Xx

[Sweethear in reply to DC5867]

Hi, please did you test before the 8 days past ? I am 6 days past a 5 days frozen transfer and I got negative on a home test

[DC5867 in reply to Sweethear]

With my fet I tested at 8 days past 5 day and got a feint positive which was much darker after another couple of days. With my fresh transfer I tested at 6 days past 5 day and saw nothing but then could see feint line the next day but was never as strong as my first one so that tells me they’re all different and you can’t rely on someone else’s experience. 6 days is still very early, try to relax and test again in another day or so xx

[Sweethear in reply to DC5867]

Thank you so much for ur time to reply me. Am going crazy because am feeling cramps for the bast 4 days like my period camps this is my 7 th ivf and is not easy the 6st ivf was successful with a beautiful 2 years old daughter named Dream and she is my dream come true I am hoping we can give her this gift. I am 41.5 years old so am not getting younger 😂😂

[DC5867 in reply to Sweethear]

I always think cramps are a good sign at this very early stage. Keep the faith 🤞🏼 I hope you get your positive test soon. 7 ivfs is a lot to go through xx

[Sweethear in reply to DC5867]

Thanks a lot. I am hoping for that too

Op date today was my blood test at 9 day past 5 day frozen Embrayo transfer and it was negative . I have one Embrayo left I will try again in January I hope and pray it works

2ww is awful, but don’t panic with lack of symptoms. I was worrying too. I had cramps and twinges for first 2-3 days then nothing apart from slightly sore boobs and a bit bloated. All can be caused from progesterone though so it’s so confusing 🤦🏻‍♀️

Try not to worry and well done for not testing yet, wishing you all the luck in the world xxx

[Sas1101 in reply to Mutleybob]

Thank you so much. I'm feeling much better today and whatever the result I've done all I can. My rationale brain is in gear 👍🏻😂

Aww thanks about the testing. It's been hard but I wanted until OTD on my last cycle so knew I could do it. Although it has been harder this time.

Congrats on your bfp! Hope to joing you Inna few days 🤞🏻 xxx
