Anxious over 2 week wait

[Asha82]

Hi everyone, I'm 3 days past 5 day frozen double embryo transfer and I'm getting really anxious whether I'm supposed to feel anything yet, does implantation happen the same time as a fresh transfer? This is my first frozen cycle. Could some of you lovely women tell me what you felt on day 3? Xx

I've had 3 fresh transfers and 1 FET that were all BFPs anywhere between 3dp5dt-5dp5dt (with the FET being the earliest). Only the FET was successful and the others ended early and one was a PUL. I don't think I felt much on 3days post on any of them, maybe sometimes cramping and nausea, headaches, dizzy... but I felt like that on the meds before transfer and I think the cramps were often just a side effect if the transfer as they came on straight after. First time around I had very sore boobs but again I think it was the meds. There wasn't any rhyme or reason as often the HCG had been in reality way too low to have caused any side effects. With my successful transfer the actual pregnancy symptoms hit around 5 weeks and then they were unmistakable! I wouldn't worry about feeling nothing, especially at this stage, and equally, strong symptoms don't mean success, well in my experience. I know how hard the 2ww is though and I hope it's a good outcome for you x

Thank you so much for replying to me and letting me know, it's definitely very hard the 2ww but I am starting to feel mild cramping but that could be the meds, congratulations on your successful pregnancy x

It can vary greatly from person to person Just try to keep yourself busy - read a good book - watch a boxset on TV - eat well drink plenty of fluids and rest when you can Take any meds you have been given as directed

Take care of yourself

I felt absolutely nothing at day 3 or even for a week or so later. My boobs didn’t get sore like my chemical pregnancies and I didn’t feel exhausted etc like I did with them! I felt the exact same as my cycles that didn’t work at that point so there isn’t always any way of ‘symptom spotting’ to know I’m afraid just a few more days and you will know what’s happening 🤗 good luck 🤞🏽 xx

Thank you so much for letting me know I feel a lot better knowing that it doesn't mean anything bad, I've started feeling a mild pinching feeling in my uterus xx
