Am I pregnant?

[ivfivf]

I had one day 5 blastocyst transferred on the 8th November. I had no symptoms whatsoever until yesterday (16th) when I started having really bad period cramps and breast pain. I’m due to have the final pregnancy test on the 20th. I did one pregnancy test on Monday, 16th which was negative. Do you think the cramps and breast pain are PMS symptoms? I think the treatment was unsuccessful. What’s your opinion?

It’s so tough to know Hun - I presume you’re on progesterone? The issue is the symptoms could be pregnancy, your period or the progesterone. Yesterday would have been 8 days post transfer which is still early so I would wait until your OTD to know for sure. I’ve always waited til my OTD as I like the PUPO bubble so not sure how reliable the test would be. Wishing you lots of luck xx

Yes, I’ve been on Cyclogest for a few weeks but I didn’t have any symptoms until yesterday so I would say they’re either caused by pregnancy or period

Though our bodies react differently, I hope this helps to relax your mind. I had no symptoms till 8dpt5dt but got my BFP on 9dpt5dt. I had sudden cramps on 8dpt5dt but tested negative. The next day I got my BFP. Am 39 weeks gone today. I wish you all the best.

Hi ivfivf. I would wait until the official testing date recommend by your clinic. Keep up with any prescribed medication, and good luck! Diane
