Back again… had my first frozen embryo transfer on Tuesday so back in the dreaded 2WW. Mixed feelings after our mcc of our first fresh transfer but trying to stay positive and not obsess!
Wasn’t a straight forward transfer as they struggled to get the catheter in which was fun… apparently my bladder was very full! But got there in the end and been told that our embryo thawed amazingly and continued to expand so went from a 3BB to a 4BB. Popped in the right place so now just need my body to do what it should be doing! Keep comparing to my fresh transfer as had loads of niggles and cramps with my fresh but not feeling much now. Hoping that’s just because I’d had the EC days before.
Any who, clearly am obsessing 😂 anyone else also in their 2WW?

I had a job interview on day 1 (which I got!!) And now I'm away for a hotel and spa few days for my birthday so hopefully enough to distract. Good luck with your transfer! Any symptons ? Xxx
I had mine on Tuesday as well…so same boat…I guess we have same test date as well 😅….am so nervous the transfer went well although they said one embryo lost one of its cell during thawing 😩…they said it was normal 🥹….I have cramping but could be due to medication…Good luck!!
I have a bit of cramping but nothing more than little niggles. Did you have a double transfer? My clinic will only do one annoyingly! My official test day is 6th June but I'm going to test on day 10 as had a super strong line with my last transfer by day 10. Good luck!!! Xx
My test day is 6/6z my transfer was 26/5 had a few faint cramps, peeing like I don’t know what, I also tested positive with my first fresh ivf about 3-4 days before OTD, but this 2WW is only 11 days as I had a FET with day 5 blastocyst. good luck!!
I had 3!!! They were 2d so test date 7/06….they advised me to put all 3 because of my age…lol am hopeful all will stick..if not one will do me fine🤣🤣…am terrified of getting a period before my test date…my period is always dead on time and am getting cramps and praying it’s the meds…
Hi, I had mine on Tuesday too! I feel absolutely nothing 😢 I hope i can make it to day 10 But it’s all I can think about! Wish you lots and lots of luck xx
I had my fet on 20/5 test day is 30th. I haven’t had any symptoms till now still wandering why. Sometimes I feel like I am having cramps but maybe it’s my head playing .Couldn’t wait tested today. Saw a line but it’s only day 6 I am believing it’s good news. Good luck on ur 2ww xxx
Hey I had my 4th transfer on Tuesday as well with OTD also 6th June. That’s amazing your embryo went from 3BB to 4BB I didn’t even know that was possible. Wishing you lots of luck for the outcome we all so desperately want xxx
Amazing! Yeah the embryologist at our clinic thaw frozen embryos a few hours before transfer and ours developed some more 🙂Wish you all the luck with yours too...how you feeling? Xxx
Thank you. I’m okay, managing a lot better this time around with the wait - think I might test a week tomorrow but my partner works a half day on a Saturday so probably wait till the Sunday so he’s off. I’ve had a few twinges/cramps but not sure if that’s good or bad so not thinking about it too much. How are you? Xxx
Yes I’m managing a bit better this time than my first, guess it’s knowing what to expect . I’ve decided I’m going to test next Thursday as I’m off work for 4 days so will have 4 days to weep if it’s a BFN. I had a solid line by day 9 on my fresh transfer so hoping it would be a safe bet to test on that day. I’ve had some twinges and cramps too but could just be meds I guess. Saying that, I had no symptoms last time and got a BFP! So bloody difficult isn’t it!? Xxx
It really is. I have tested at 9dp5dt each time in my previous rounds and when I went for my blood test and I told the nurse I had tested at 9 days she said ah well it should have been pretty accurate then so I think you will be safe to test. Yeah my boobs were tender before the FET so I told myself any ‘symptoms’ will probably be from the meds. I’m so much calmer than the first 2. I had a chemical first time and then 2 BFN’s. I’ll be thinking of you next Thursday and I really hope your 4 days off will be filled with happiness xxx
Hey fellow 2WWers… how’s everyone doing?Managed to last longer than my fresh transfer without testing and still going strong ! Bloody hard though… been having the odd twinges last few days and today just feel quite bloated. Boobs feel fuller and I’m mega hormonal (fell out with my mum on the phone over something so trivial and then blocked her for a whole 30 minutes before apologising 😂)
So annoying how pre period symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are pretty much identical ! Xx
Oh no, sorry to hear you're feeling crap! I've been alright on the pessaries. I'm on Lubion injections too so have a bruised, bloated tummy! Hope you feel better soon xx
Wishing you lots of good luck!! And hopefully enough distractions I totally get the try-not-to-obsess feelings. My husband is an extremely rational person and he's very much like "uhhh, well it's not going to influence the outcome so why worry at all?" and I say "because I can't help it, duh!"
But ok, I hate that he's right and he wouldn't have trouble to stop thinking about it. To be fair he's not experiencing it in his body now is he! Still, I suppose the best thing seems to distract yourself, to not think/turn off your brain and ignore everything you feel and whether or not you have symptoms and just try to be in the present - All of which I find completely impossible to do 😂
I have my (first) FET (1 embryo) this Thursday 2/June and we have 2 embryos in total. I am wondering what the hell to do with my mixed feelings. I'm telling myself not to anticipate at all, which apparently is not possible Basically part of me is trying to prepare for the worst and the other part of me is trying to hope for the best. However, I'm feeling guilty for being hopeful because I feel like then it'll be my fault for being upset if it doesn't work this cycle. And even that doesn't make any sense.
Rationally speaking, we should be allowed to be hopeful and sort of bathe in the blissful PUPO period!
I think you're totally right to take days off work. It's a really good idea... I'm not sure I can though...
Btw on an unrelated note, what does "3dp3dt" mean? There is plenty of terminology for me to learn here oh I guess it means 3 days post and 3 day transfer (day 3 embryo)?
This is my first time doing IVF, I am in my 4day after my fresh embryon transfer, I am feeling cramps since day 2 and a little sharp pain on my right lower side, I have 2 fibroids. I am so worry that this could mean my period coming, even though it would be too early as I am very regular, I had not blood at all so far. I will be tested on 7th June.
Best luck for you guys and please share your experience so far 😊 ❤️ 🙏
I’m on day 5 after transfer so nearly half way through till my 6/6 test day. I’m feeling okay today, keep getting faint cramps, boobs feel tender but again this could be meds too! I don’t remember the 2ww from my last time 4 years ago! Hope you are doing well.
Half way point and I caved and tested. BFN sadly. I know people may say it's too soon but I had a definite line on my fresh transfer by this stage. Pretty gutted as got major heavy feeling in my womb and feel like I'm due a mega period from hell. My transfer didn't go smoothly this time and they did a lot of poking about trying to get the catheter in so feel like I'm just battered and bruised inside and that could have stopped implantation. Will wait a few days and test again but I think I'm out 😔
Good luck to everyone else still being good and waiting! Xxx
I caved too and also had a negative but there’s still hope right- i read on here Some people have had negatives on day 9 but positives on day 10. So test again tomo or wait till Monday…i wish you luck for this attempt, it’s still not over yet, positive thoughts for both of us x
Did you have any joy? I stopped my meds on Thursday and my period came yesterday. Its been an emotional weekend but trying to keep positive and look towards my next transfer in July x
Hi, im so sorry to hear this ☹️ Fingers crossed for next time, it will happen. it s test day for me tomo but I have been testing and it’s a negative. It was my last embryo, I feel sad, but I have got my head round it this past week, it just wasn’t meant to be. Take care of yourself and get yourself ready for next time xx
