8dp5dt and period feels like it is starting

This is our third embryo transfer, second PGT FET. OTD is Monday.

I had no symptoms until yesterday / this morning when I started to feel some mild cramps like my period is about to start.

I just feel totally devastated. I can't face doing a test because I am just petrified of seeing another blank line.

I don't know where we go from here. What is the point of doing another egg collection and trying to transfer more embryos when we have already so many good ones fail?

Hi there, I just wanted to say I have been exactly where you are now. I’m in my 2ww after my 5th transfer from #3 egg collection. (which is a double transfer so embryos 5/6) I very nearly cancelled this collection but I feel like the more you roll the dice the closer you get each time to it working. It’s so hard to not feel like giving up I’ve been there every single time too, but I think it’s good to be able to look back and have no regrets. Sending you strength as I know this is such a hard road xx

Hi, I’m currently11 weeks and had 3 scans upto now and seen a growing baby with a good heartbeat each time. From my 2WW until I was about 7 weeks I had mild cramps and really felt like I was about to have a period all the time!

Don’t give up hope yet

that can be a good sign, the period feelings and mild cramps 😊 I recently had my BFP after my FET with a PGT embryo. All day yesterday I felt like my period was coming, but today back to nothing. But stronger lines on my test today so I can only assume its all good 😊 keep busy today and try and keep hope for tomorrow when you test. I hope its a wonderful result for you!! Xx

Thanks everyone.

With my first pregnancy (ended in miscarriage) I did have cramps like this so you are right, it is possible. It’s just I’ve also had cramps like this for about 30 natural & 2 IVF cycles which have not ended in pregnancy!

Then only way I’ll know for sure is to do the test tomorrow but I am just terrified of seeing another blank.

Hi, sorry to hear this, and I'm in exactly the same situation as you at present. Today 8dpt of a 5dblastocyst, top quality, with egg donor. 55% chance of positive pregnancy test and i feel very nauseas and period pain symptoms quite bad. Have you tested today again?
