2dp5dt and im lying awake. Had about 5 hours of sleep. I have no symptoms and im googling looking for success stories.

Last fet i had cramping and pinches etc and it was a bfn so im telling myself the opposite is good. I just feel so helpless during the wait and i have 11 days to go before i can test 😭😭😭😭

I know it’s easier said than done as I was exactly the same! But try not to worry about no symptoms I symptom spotted terrible my first transfer I actually thought it had worked little cramps etc, my second transfer I remember saying to my friend it hasn’t worked again I just know I just feel completely normal but to my surprise it was a positive and I’m now 27 weeks pregnant, no symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean it hasn’t worked x

Hey! I had my ET Tuesday so I’m currently in the same position. I’m googling everything! This is my first round of IVF so I’m new to it all! It’s driving me insane!! 🙈🙈 I’m wondering when / if am going to feel any symptoms! Everything running thru my mind. I’m off work until Monday so I suppose next week will go fast with being in work.

Try and keep yourself busy, book nice things for urself and just keep ur mind occupied it’s easier said than done tbh but we can get thru it 😂🙏🏼💫 good luck!! 🤞🏼 🥚👶🏼🤍

Thank you and good luck to you too! Funny thing is when its someone else i know the sensible and right thing to say is not everyone is the same and they experience different symptoms. But when it comes to me i hyper analyse and stress myself out lol. Keeping all us women on this journey in my prayers xx

As previous posts say just keep yourself busy - try reading a good [ but not exciting ] book in bed to help you wind down - best not to have been on your phone , laptop as these will stimulate your brain and make it harder to fall asleep Take a soothing bath is also a good idea Take care of yourself

Hi lovely, I had 6 transfers through my IVF and for the first 5 I had every symptom under the sun - all BFN.My 6th and final transfer I didn’t have a single symptom - absolutely nada and was convinced I was out.

Now I’m sitting here at 5am with my 5 week old baby sleeping on my chest.

Symptoms mean nothing.

You’ve got this xx

I actually remember you sharing this previously on another thread and honestly it gives me so much hope! Its the possibility of having a beautiful ending like yours that helps me get through and try ignore the lack of obvious symptoms xxx

I’m so glad! Honestly no one was more shocked than me… well maybe my husband as he kept asking me if I was sure it was positive.

I think all the previous symptoms I’d had were just side affects of the meds. Don’t read in to them.

Everything crossed for you xx
