Just started my tww and already getting symptoms. Is this normal ?

[Godmother99]

This is my 3rd double transfer on a natural cycle fet.

Two 5 day blastocysts 4AA and 3AB….. the transfer went smoothly yesterday afternoon…..And now the tww starts. It’s gonna be a long 9 days!!!

From this morning I have been feeling achey and cramps and getting waves of nausea. Is this normal ?

Are you on any pessaries? I was in cyclogest and the side effects mimic early pregnancy! Had symptoms for 5 days from them x

[Godmother99 in reply to JudithSS]

Yes I am on cyclogest. Have been on them for nearly a week x

[JudithSS in reply to Godmother99]

It could be that! I asked the same question last week and someone said in normal life you wouldn’t have symptoms yet and that made sense to me x

[Godmother99 in reply to JudithSS]

It’s wierd as symptoms only started this morning but you must be right thanks x

[JudithSS]

This was her response and once it was said it made more sense! Drove me crazy mind!

Its such a tough one - they do give you all the symptoms! I think key is to try and remember that if this were a natural pregnancy you definitely wouldn't be having any symptoms just yet.... try and relax and stay off Google!! xx

Yes I am trying to stay off internet ….. so blooming hard lol x

Hi, the "symptoms" are likely from the pessaries. There are no consistent symptoms of being either pregnant or not pregnant during the TWW, alas. I've watched a lot of ladies go through this on here and having symptoms or having no symptoms seems to have exactly zero to do with whether it's BFP or BFN. Hang in there, I'm in TWW and going mental myself. Trying to remember that cramps, nausea, twinges, moods, sore boobs, are all just symptoms of the progesterone and I would have them if I was pregnant or if I was not. Xx

Thanks for your message ….. yeah the tww is so hard ….. and trying not to go mad ! X

Hi that's a great quality of embryos you have had transferred. Fingers crossed one of them sticks! The nausea could be a side effect of any progesterone you are taking and the cramps very well could be implantation happening as with both mine i had the same within a couple of days of the transfer and both times i conceived. I am 19 weeks tomorrow with a 3BB embryo, also like yours was a natural FET ( with additional cyclogest) and had the same symptoms and also with my first baby which was a 5AB. I think you have a good shot. Relax drink lots of water and brazil nuts! For blood flow. Gentle walks each day help stress levels whilst waiting. xx

Thanks for your message… this is my 4th egg collection and this are the best quality embryos yet ….. not bad for an old girl like me lol 😂 Congratulations on your second pregnancy….. so exciting !

I am eating Brazil nuts as I write this and will try and drink lots of water. Thanks for tips.

Also walking I heard is good for blood flow so definitely will be doing that and will do some gentle yoga.

Thanks for giving me hope x

[Godmother99]

Sorry I don’t know gender and unfortunately it didn’t implant

so I had the crampy but I just put this down to them popping it back in, my nausea started at few days before 5 weeks 🤮 and it's still going strong at nearly 17 weeks! 😵 all the best!!! 🍀🍀♥️♥️♥️
