Day 8 since embryo transfer, what symptoms do I look out for?

I have 2 5AA hatching embryo, one in the freezer and the other was transfered last week Monday, I'm new to all this. My testing day is next week Monday at the clinic, home test is on Friday.

I'm so nervous and tempted to test but afraid.

I've not been having cramps like most people, I just got tingles, twinkles, little mild pocking, that was it and on Saturday when wiping in the toilet, I noticed very little very very little light blood spot. Saw it twice in the toilet and that same day I had back pain and side right pain in the abdomen. Wore panty liner but nothing came after that.

I'm so scared, What are the symptoms you felt? The 2 was is emotional. This is my first transfer.

Was it very red? But nothing is confirmed until you get tested, I wish you all the best. Thank you for sharing Pigi. When will you do the home pregnancy test?

All the best. This process is emotionally hard. So many questions and nervousness. Why can't we all just have it easy I ask myself all the time. The experience will make us stronger and not break us. We will be awesome parents, we will value it whole heartedly. Cheers to positivity.

I tested, and it was positive. It's too early though, I'll do another test at the end of the week.

Thank you very much, all the best to every one of us. I'll test again later in the week just to get peace of mind before the clinic test.

Sounds promising. Hopefully what you are experiencing is some signs of implantation bleeding. Hang in there! When is test day?

I hope so, but it could also be due to the crinone gel. My clino test day is on Monday, home test was suggested to be done on Friday. But I just got so nervous and decided to test today and got a BFP. But I'll try again later in the evening, this just guarantees that implantation took place, but I need it to stay that way. Don't know how I should feel right now. Should I be happy? Too scared to be happy, this is my first experience at this.

Just continue to take it easy. Will you be getting an hCG blood test on your official test day. It’s worth doing, even paying for it if you have too! Xx

Yeah the HCG test is on Monday. So nervous. Thanks.

Asking myself questions like, what happens after implantation, the symptoms continue or they stop? Or reduce? My breast are still slightly painful, it comes and goes, I only still get the twingles and mild pocks slightly on the right side and centre. Am I suppose to experience more? I really want to hear someone's experience at this.

I had zero symptoms! And currently 13 weeks pregnant. So don’t get too hung up on symptoms. Around week 3/4 I got Brest tenderness for a few week but that totally disappeared. Best of luck with your hCG test xx

Oh wow, this is good news, congratulations, this is heart warming, I wish you all the best in the journey, I tap into positivity.

It's just scary not knowing what to expect. Today's pregnancy test just got me more nervous 😓 and somehow excited but afraid to be excited. Seeing a BFP was a game changer.

I'm so super happy for you.

It is totally nervous wrecking. Somehow in my head I thought when/if I ever got the BFP that all my worries would disappear, in fact, the opposite happened, I became super anxious about not holding onto the little one & struggled with letting the happiness peek through! So it’s totally normal how you are feeling. You can only take one day at a time and accept there is nothing you can do to control the outcome. Look after yourself, stay positive & celebrate every day as it passes by! Xx
