Need advice on my symptoms/pain

[SR90]

Hi Ladies,

So.. round 4.. we finally had much improved results at transfer than we have ever had before! 2 were transferred and I have 2 in the freezer (first time having any to freeze).

I had 2 ‘average to good grade’ blastocysts transferred last Monday (8th). My clinic only grade blastocysts as A-F and these were a C and D.

3DPT I was getting shooting/stabbing pains around where my right ovary is, lasted only a few hours.

Since approx 4/5DPT, I’ve had a very tight sensation around my stomach, if I stretch only a small amount, I feel like I pull my stomach muscles. I also have what I can only describe as a dull ache either side of my belly button (quite large areas) where it feels like I’ve done too many sit ups.

I keep wanting to tell myself to not overthink it and symptom spot but it’s really getting in the way of everyday life. If it means I am pregnant then great, bring it on. If it’s just mind games/progesterone and I am not pregnant, then I’m done with the tricks my body is playing on me 🙈.

Test day is actually Sunday, which is 13 days post transfer… but 18 days past collection/fertilisation. Sunday feels like she’s away!

Can anyone shed any light on what they think these pains are, or if you had the same? Thanks x

So you are 8dp5dt …..I’d do a cheeky test 😃

Yep 😊 I’m just so nervous about bursting this little ‘possibility’ bubble. I wasn’t sure if hcg would be high enough. I think you are right though, I should at least see. I was going to this morning but talked myself out of it. Maybe I’ll do one tomorrow morning.

Eekkk keep up posted! Wishing you lots of luck x

I got a BFP with my twins at about 4dp5dt - my clinic official test day was 9dp5dt 😃

[SR90 in reply to Ivfgotadream]

That’s super quick, but I guess with twins it makes the hcg higher so should in theory read sooner.

I had a double transfer at day 3 and I knew something wasn't right due to the reasons you described haha that pulling feeling and the dull ache/pressure especially when weeing. I tested 7dpt and got a positive! My 8 week baby twins are now snoozing after having their breakfast Good luck xx

[SR90 in reply to Jjleo]

Thanks so much for your reply, this definitely brings me hope! I keep telling myself to stop symptom spotting but when I can’t even put my jeans on without it making my stomach hurt, something is definitely different ha!

7dpt, wow! Fingers crossed then 🤞. Twinnies 😍. I can’t even begin to think how lucky I’d be if both of mine stuck.

Your so good for not testing lol I couldn't help myself! I felt like everyone thought I was crazy qnd wouldn't believe me even though I was showing them the bundle of tests I was doing lol. Everyone didn't want to get hopes up until my OTD I guess but I knew those babies were sticking however didn't think both has implanted. I was shaking like a leaf when they told me at my viability scan 🙈 we honestly thought given it was our first cycle too that it wasn't going to work. I have a close friend who did 4 failed rounds and has just adopted her gorgeous girl and was not hopeful.

I really hope your results are positive. Fingers and toes all crossed for you! Xxx

First round and twins is the outcome! Amazing news. This will be my fourth and they only transferred 2 because of the failed ones previously otherwise they would have only let me have 1.

Thank you, I will drop a message tomorrow if I test 😊x

Thank you, last week I was on holiday so it was a breeze, this week I am back at work and finding the routine torture. 🙈

I didn’t do a test this morning because I woke up in the night bursting for the toilet at 5am and by 6am when my partner woke up it hadn’t been long enough really. I’ll do one tomorrow.

However, yesterday evening after work, just to prepare myself for the stark white test I was expecting to see this morning, i used one of the test strips I had from an ovulation kit….

Now I’m super nervous!!

Tentative congrats! It’s a good strong line for 8dp5dt - very similar to my line with my twins……..
