2 week wait after embryo transfer

[BalanceB]

Hey ladies,

I had my transfer on the morning of the 1st, testing on the 12th, is anyone else at this stage and how are you feeling after 2 half days post transfer?

Hi BalanceB Everyone feels different - sometimes nothing- symptoms in their 2ww It can also vary with each cycle Just keep yourself busy- take the medication as directed and good luck with your testing on the 12th Thinking of youJanet

Hi there, my test is also the 12th. I had my transfer on the 29th. I’m feeling very well currently, no symptoms but it’s probably too early for anything anyway. Good luck with everything xx

Hi how are you feeling, 2 more days until our test 😬 have you had any symptoms?

I’m been suffering cramping for a few days now, also had a little brown spotting 3/4 days ago.

I constantly feel like I’m about to star my period ☹️

[Hidden in reply to BalanceB]

I’ve had quite a few cramps, feels like period pains, but it must be my body adapting. I’ve had a positive result. Are you going to stick it out til the 12th or test early? Xx

[BalanceB in reply to Hidden]

Oh wow, that amazing news, congratulations to you both 🙌🏾🥳 🥰 I’m going to wait until tomorrow, I feel too nervous 🥺 I had some acupuncture today, which I would defo recommend to anyone who is feeling anxious, it really has relaxed me x

Is that a picture of your boxer, we also have a boxer, she’s 7 months old called Xena 🐕🥰

[Hidden in reply to BalanceB]

Thank you so much! 😊 I know what you mean, the nervousness does kick it.

Good luck tomorrow, I really hope you get your positive.

Yes acupuncture does really help, I’m glad it’s helped you relax. I had a few sessions before my EC this time, I was having sessions last year before covid struck!

She’s a dogue de Bordeaux, she’s a cutie. Boxers are so cute, my husband used to have one, that one was lovely but a bit crazy too haha 😂

Hi, my test day is the 9th. Had my first ever blastocyst transferred Wednesday 28th. This is our first round but I’m going nuts at this point. Have been silly and done a few tests, not a sniff of anything looking faintly positive and I feel ridiculous reading about so many people who’ve started to see positives from about 6 days. I’m hating this! Wishing you both the very best.

[MelissaS6 in reply to Snurf]

OMG I feel 100% the same way. Seeing those four day post transfer positives! I tested too and definitely came up negative but we are both probably too early to give up yet.

[Snurf in reply to MelissaS6]

You just made my day, don’t get me wrong I’m not happy that we’re both going round in our own little circles but it’s nice to feel less alone there! Thank you and fingers so tightly crossed for us all that we’re late bloomers ❤️

[MelissaS6 in reply to Snurf]

Thanks so much. I agree. IVF is really lonely and even the few people you know don't really understand what you are going through. I am glad I posted in this community. We are definitely spinning in circles lol with hopefully little late bloomers!

[MelissaS6]

Same for me! FET on the 1st and test on the 12th. No symptoms for me so far. Wishing you luck!

[BalanceB in reply to MelissaS6]

Good luck hun, I hope you’re feeling positive today. 5 days to go eeek!

Morning ladies,

Yesterday I had a full meltdown, I was cramping all day and in the evening I was spotting, I felt like was coming on my period, bloated belly the lot. I don’t know but I just not feeling positive at the moment at all, I’v convinced myself it’s not worked and I’m coming on my period, I don’t know how I’m going to last until Wednesday (feeling pretty low).

I’v booked myself in for acupuncture on the Tuesday, do you think it’s a good idea, hopefully it will help calm me down? X x

[MelissaS6 in reply to BalanceB]

It could be implantation - I am the opposite and feel like it hasn't worked because I haven't had a bleed at all! I have also heard positive things about acupuncture. I have never tried it though.

[Snurf in reply to MelissaS6]

I’ve tested today at 10dp5dt. Completely negative. Tomorrow is official test day but it’s hardly likely to change is it. Feeling really deflated at this point

[BalanceB in reply to Snurf]

Don’t loose hope, they tell us our test day for a reason, test tomorrow as planed and take it one day at a time girl. Sending positive vibrations your way x

[Snurf in reply to BalanceB]

Thank you lovely. Period seems to be starting today so 99.9% sure it’s over this time. Going to see how quickly we can get going with one of our frozen blastocysts as soon as I speak to the clinic on Monday. X

[MelissaS6 in reply to Snurf]

Oh I'm sorry to hear about your test. Though you do never know what OTD will bring. Glad you have four frosties though! My husband says he read the success percentage goes up a lot with three transfers 🤞 I'm still hoping for you!

[BalanceB in reply to Snurf]

I hope you’re doing ok, what has the clinic suggested for your next steps?

[Snurf in reply to BalanceB]

Thank you ladies. We’re both doing ok - the nurses at the clinic were so shocked it hasn’t worked as everything was looking good but then again that’s how these things go, there are literally no guarantees in this business. We’re seeing the consultant on Friday and hope to get going with the frozen cycle as soon as we can. I honestly feel better for the certainty of knowing we have to move on and try again, it gives me something to focus on. When I had my fresh transfer I was still feeling rough from the egg collection so I’m hoping this time I’ll be back to top fitness and that should help my chances. Wishing you all the very best with your journeys x

[Snurf]

I’ve not tried the acupuncture lovely but lots of people really swear by it. If I have to do this all again, I’m absolutely going to incorporate it. My logical side says it’s probably helpful because people feel like they’re doing something particularly as the run up to egg collection is just so busy. Not sure if this is your first and you’re doing fresh but I felt bloody awful for a full week after my egg collection. So bloated, constipated and genuinely put on over half a stone, it’s only finally come off 2 full weeks after the operation. You may just be feeling rubbish from that at this point.

Heyyyy...similar to you all I had my transfer on the 30th but due to test on the 13th. Dying to test early but not sure whether I should just hold back. Anyone transfer a day 3 fresh embryo here? Goodluck to all of you with your tests coming up in the next few days. So nice to see other people on the same journey.
