What were your symptoms after embryo transfer that led to a Bfp!?

I’m having mild cramps on and off a few days after embryo transfer which was on Saturday. What symptoms did you guys get after your transfers? My first cycle with icsi, I had a fresh transfer of a 5AA embryo. My stomach also feels tight after I stretch or sneeze. My boobs are very sore also but that could be the progesterone?

Symptoms fluctuate person to person and a lot of the time they’ll be caused my the medication that you’re taking, so try not to focus too much on what you do and don’t have symptom wise! I literally only had period cramps on D7/8 following my transfer, no sore boobs, wasn’t tired, didn’t feel sick or anything and I got a BFP with really high HCG numbers. I’m 9w2d with twins and still don’t have your typical symptoms other than tender nips and swollen boobs (but not really tender).

Good luck ☘️💗 xx

I'm very similar to XOXO13 I didn't really have any symptoms and at 7w5d still don't (not even sore boobs really).

Try not to read too much in to it as most things are caused by the meds.

Try to take 1 day at a time and relax as much as you can xx

Hi Emr12,My symptoms were really intense, nausea 2-3 days post transfer, I struggled to eat breskfast. Breathlessness and chills. Really bad cramps 4, 6 and 9 days post transfer. Day 4 was really bad kept me up all night into the morning, initially felt like my period was coming, which completely messed with my head. The next day I had a clear discharge.

I am now 19 week pregnant with twins.

I agree with XOXO13, every woman is different, even every pregnancy is different.

I hope that this helps. Xx

Annoyingly I get sore boobs after ovulation anyway so I can’t tell if this is normal or not 😩

Hi Emr12

I remember from the day of transfer feeling very aware of my uterus at night (waking up during sleep) it felt stretched, kind of like a tummy ache but low down, some right sided pain felt very strange at about 5dp transfer, sore boobs but I thought that was the progestrone. On day 6 I felt woozy but only for a few hours so put that down to progestrone again.... I started to get period type pains towards the end of the tww but at the same time every night.... in all honestly I put it all down to being the medication and was so scared it hadn't worked... nearly fell off the toilet when I saw the two lines... OH had a shock when I ran in frantically shouting at 5am...

Best of luck x

It was interesting reading these (I test tomorrow after having two embryos transfered) I've had similar symptoms, my temp spiked on day 10, had slight cramps similar to my peorid. I'm shitting myself, too scared to test
