8days after FET…should I be feeling any symptoms by now? I have a slight pain to my right lower abdomen is this a positive sign??

[Jomo27]

Hi everyone so I am 8 days in and the only symptom I’m having is the pain in my lower abdomen on the right side and as you do you read into things especially when on the 2WW and some are positive comments but I’m just wondering if anybody else had the same symptom or any others to know if it successfully implanting? It’s so hard waiting and wondering as you can imagine xxxx

you only have a few days to go till the blood test. You could do a home pregnancy test on day 8, if you like. But best to be patient and hang in there

Thank you, I’m going to be patient I think, it’s hard not to focus on symptoms and read into them xx

Hi Jomo. I would just carry on with all prescribed medication and test on the day recommended by the clinic. It’s a bit early to expect too much in the way of pregnancy symptoms. Good luck. Diane

I also have this pain on my right side on and off. Unfortunately I’ve had it before. In all my transfers I’ve had differing symptoms and none of it meant a bloody thing! It’s so frustrating with the progesterone symptoms mimicking both period and pregnancy symptoms. I’m at 8 days today so guess you are day 9 now? When is your OTD?

[Jomo27 in reply to Doodlebug23]

My OTD day is Tuesday so I am hanging on until then to test! It’s so hard not to read into things and hope it’s on the positive side I think this is why I’m scared to test xx

Fingers crossed for you. I’m testing tomorrow cause I’m expecting BFN and want it out the way now x

[Jomo27 in reply to Doodlebug23]

Ohhhh big hugs 🤗 you never know but I can totally understand how you mean about getting out the way is best to know as you do feel that your life is on hold for this time, I feel for you and here if you need to chat 🤍❤️ x

I’m usually chilled and the best out of any point during the first week of 2ww but this time has been horrid from start to finish cause of the bleeding. Suppose if there’s any positive it’s that my progesterone must be high enough to be stopping the breakthrough bleed. TBH now I just want a bloody glass of baileys lol 🙈 Talking at the moment is really helping me to stop just obsessing over everything x

[Jomo27 in reply to Doodlebug23]

You sound a really positive person and very resilient!! It’s great 😊 I’m an over thinker and worry wart which is not good in this whole process. Did you have your glass of baileys? It’s horrible when you get the bleed as you just don’t know at all which it is implantation bleeding or period bleeding? When I bled on my fresh I just knew that was it, but again on this time no blood no spotting so again is that good or not? It’s bloody hard work all this!! Xxx

[Doodlebug23 in reply to Jomo27]

I’m really not 🙈 I’m not really an over thinker and I can usually put things out my head till it happens. IVF has most certainly tested that!! I think I’m better at trying to give others positivity rather than following my own advice! My OTD at home isn’t till Wed so I’ll hold off till then to be 💯 sure as the bleed was before transfer and the past few days it’s just mainly brown and mixed with pessary. I think my progesterone is holding off my period. My third transfer I had nothing, swollen belly, sore boobs and was almost convinced it was 3rd time lucky then BFN - you just can’t tell! It’s so so cruel. X

hi Jomo27

Apart from a few twinges I didn’t really have any symptoms and was convinced it hadn’t worked. So sometimes there isn’t any.

Good luck I have my fingers crossed for you xxx
