Anyone in the TWW?

5dp5dt and all symptoms gone again.

Any reassuring stories ?

Hello!

I am 7dp5dt today. It’s torture isn’t it! Just want to know now 😭 but won’t test until the official day the clinic told me too.

Is this your first transfer?

This is my second and I’ve tried to be more relaxed this time as until we test we will never know. I was obsessing and symptom spotting like crazy on my first and thought I had soo many symptoms but it was a complete negative.

I just keep reminding myself - In natural pregnancies people generally only find out once they miss a period around 2 weeks later, not because of symptoms so anything we could be feeling right not will likely be from the progesterone, not pregnancy, as it’s still very early.

Good luck! I hope you get your positive 🙏🏼 xxx

Hi I know I want to test - I usually test the day before. It’s my 6th transfer

Yep your right most of people symptoms mostly due to progesterone but I wish I would feel something different

My symptoms stopped after first week and I actually felt really well. That’s when I got my bfp. Saying that- it hasn’t really differed from my previous experiences. So it’s really impossible to know until you test. Best of luck!

Hi Pam. Try not to depend on symptoms, as they can be drug related. Often early pregnancy starts with tiredness, as most symptoms don’t start for a few weeks. Keep busy and keep up with any prescribed medication, and test on the day recommended by your clinic. Good luck. Diane

I'm also in my TWW - 13dp5dt and OTD is Wednesday for my third transfer, second frozen. I had loads of symptoms the first week but I've had them before and know they are drug related as all previous transfers were negative. They calmed down and I managed to stay calm and relaxed for the first 8 days, and was quite happy counting the days to my test. However, I then had spotting last Thursday along with insane lower back ache/tingling (9dp5dt) which was new for me and which I really hope was implantation and now I'm struggling to stop thinking about it! The only thing that's certain is the TWW is a rollercoaster and you can't tell what is about to happen until it happens...

Such a rollercoaster ! Let’s hope it was implantation

[WillowPark in reply to Pkm4321]

Fingers crossed 🤞 (for us and everyone else going through the TWW right now!)

[Pkm4321 in reply to WillowPark]

Hi ya lovely how did you get on?

[WillowPark in reply to Pkm4321]

Hi, it was a BFN for us this time unfortunately. I actually broke and tested early, and had a very, very, very faint positive(!), but it was negative on OTD. I'm trying to see the good in that and hope that means embryo no. 3 gave it a good shot, and that we are moving in the right direction. Hope you are doing well x

[Pkm4321 in reply to WillowPark]

Aww so sorry Rest up and take time to look after yourself. Sorry ;(

I have few more days until OTD but losing my mind as all symptoms resolved - so not hopeful

[WillowPark in reply to Pkm4321]

Wishing you lots of luck. Hopefully you are just double lucky - BFP and no horrible symptoms!

I am 5dp5dt, this is my third transfer, 2nd FET. The last two transfers I took time off and tried to “relax” - but really I just drove myself crazy! For this one, I’ve not taken anytime off work, and I’m trying to keep my mind full with other things - obviously not always successfully! On day 3dp5dt I felt mild cramps, other than that I’ve had no symptoms. It is such a hard wait. Wishing everyone on this thread lots of luck. Xx
