I had a FET today. My OTD is on 25 Jan and I’ll have a blood test.
I’m usually a serial tester but I’m considering waiting this time to at least 7DP. Last time I went nuts and it wasn’t helpful.
I’m doing a completely natural transfer - no trigger, no progesterone support. I’ve asked for a blood test tomorrow just to check my levels for reassurance!
I’m in my 2ww too had my transfer on Friday so my test day is 25th Jan. I’m trying to hold off buying tests until next week as I know if I have them in the house I won’t not be able to test.
I’m finding it hard to keep busy hoping being at work will distract me.
Good luck xx
Good luck to you too! I am also going to avoid buying them - I might get a couple on Sunday and test Monday morning
Hi TeddyBear. Hope all ends well for you. Just got to keep busy, take any prescribed medication, not forgetting your Folic Acid and Vitamin D. Try your best to refrain from testing until the day recommended by your clinic. Diane
this is my 5th transfer and I’ve tested for all of them previously. I find it helps but not if I go overboard like last time (last frozen embie with my egg).
I’m taking all my tablets, it’s kind of routine now as I’ve been on them for about 3 years!
I am! I'm due to test on the 23rd after my first ET last week (first cycle).
Good luck 🤞 xx
Good luck!
I had 5 day blastocyst transferred on Thursday, due to test this Saturday. Feel like I'm going a bit mad thinking I may or may not have certain symptoms, but knowing it's too early really. Keep getting this fluttering feeling in my abdomen but it's probably wind or something! I fell pregnant after a fresh cycle in 2019 and trying to compare to then but the medication is all quite different.Good luck to everyone else on their 2WW (Although mine is 9 days thank goodness)
I only had my transfer yesterday but am already symptom spotting! Not cramps as such, I can just feel something going on 🤣
I know it’s common to get cramping or niggles 24-48 hours after transfer so obviously just from the transfer process but it’s hard not to hope it’s the embryo bunking down! Good luck for Sat!!!
Like you say, symptoms are probably from the procedure itself but it's hard not to let your mind hope it's that embryo nestling in. I guess we are hyper aware of everything as well so notice things that are happening normally anyway, I kind of just want a special sleeping tablet that lets me sleep through the 2WW and test at the end!
I would love that!!! I got my progesterone results back today and they are 40 so all good, I don’t have any medication so I guess it’s good that any symptoms can’t be the pessaries which I’ve had before. I’m already thinking I’ll test on sat - 5dp. I’ll see how I go!
I'm going to try and hold out until OTD which is Saturday, but keep getting tempted to test earlier. Feel quite periody today and worried it's on the way but equally know it could be a positive 🙈 arggghhh, I'm going crazy!
Ah sorry you have hit 2ww madness !! You have done well not to test so far!
I’m in my 2ww (transferred Wednesday do 6dpt today) I’ve been testing though as I know it won’t work. Failed cycle last month with a perfect 5AA hatching tested blast and then our other embryo didn’t survive the thaw this cycle so was left with a morula to transfer and from what I’ve read online a measly 2.7% chance of success. I go away on Saturday on holiday and after 18months of misery I kinda just want it all to be over so I’ve been testing early so I don’t get that big bang of negativity the day I go on holiday but if my circumstances were different (or if I can ever put myself through this again) I think I will try to wait till OTD. Sending you lots of luck I hope you get the BFP xxxx
Good luck lovely, sorry you aren’t feeling positive about it. You never know though - I’ve lost 5AAs before, sometimes it’s the less pretty ones that work xxx
Sorry you've not had much luck, I get why you are testing before your holiday, I will keep everything crossed for you x
I am on day 6, not testing anything.
Good luck. How’s the fever? Xx
Thank you so much for asking. It is still between 37.5-37.7C with paracetamol.
I feel like I will be killed by IVF 
You’ve had a rough time, I hope it settles down soon. X
Thank you. You are so kind. The worst problem is that there is no one in the Netherlands who is doing research on my extreme reactions. More we fail, more they make money from the insurance. It is their financial interest that the patient doesn't become pregnant. We thought about having treatment in the UK, but the costs are too high
wishing you the best! 🙏🏽
I wish you best of luck dear.
what are your symptoms 2ww’ers?!
I’ve got sort of cramping and feeling uncomfortable in my womb type area and I feel a bit nauseous and super tired.
How are you doing today? I feel like I don't have much in the way of symptoms today which I'm obviously worrying about, but trying to remind myself that many don't, but also preparing myself for bad news on Saturday.
I had period type pains and slight cramping yesterday and the day before but so far today not really noticed that. I have definitely had some fluttering feelings and they came on about day 3 but nothing today really. I think I'm often tired, so it's hard to judge that one, but it's not excessive.
Hope you are doing okay.
Hey
Yep same, no symptoms now really, I may have cramps but now I think I’m imagining them 🤣🤣
I tested today, 3dp 6dt 😂 of course it was negative. I bought a 7 pack of FRERs so will test once a day now until OTD on Wed. I always cave around this time - I think the earliest BFP I ever saw anyone have was 3dp. I would be due to get my period any day between now and Monday and I’m not on progesterone to hold it off so every time I go to the toilet I’m worried I’ll start bleeding! I don’t have sore boobs or any usual pre period madness but who knows 🤷♀️
Good luck! It’s a strange old time!!!
how is everyone going? I got a BFP this morning at 5DP. I’m cautiously happy, let’s hope it sticks! Xxx
That's great news! So happy for you! I'm a day behind you and thinking of resting tomorrow... I know it's so early though...
Thank you! I tested again this afternoon (one this morning was 3am!) and it’s darker so I’m allowing myself a little bit of excitement!!
If it helps, I had the hint of a line on day 3, a v v faint one on day 4 then a slightly better one later that day and then the 2 today. I always test, it feels better to know as soon as I can. Xx
Congratulations that’s amazing news. Xx
I took a test this morning but am so confused there are 2 lines so hoping it is a BFP but the lines seem to be the wrong way round like the control line is faint but the test line strong which surely can’t be right!

Hahaha it look’s positive to me!!! I think the lines can be any strength - still a positive!! Congrats!! Maybe do a second one for reassurance ? Xxx
I’m going to test everyday til by OTD on Thursday I think 🙈 so will see what tomorrow mornings says! Feeling a bit excited now 🤞
Yay!!!!
Got a much better positive this morning so feeling hopeful! Probably will leave testing til Thursday now.
How are you feeling?
I allowed myself to be a bit excited today!! Tests getting darker and my period is now officially late so I’m ecstatic!
Fab you got a better line. I bought 3 more tests today but they are pregnosis not FRER and I don’t like them! Still got a positive but the lines aren’t as good and take ages to develop!
Only 2 days now until OTD 🥳
How are you going? Got my beta back today at 155 so very happy 🥳
Yay congratulations, how are you feeling?
Still getting positive! Official test day is tomorrow but we don’t do blood tests in the UK. Will test tomorrow morning and contact the clinic and hopefully book in for my viability scan 🤞.
I didn’t realise that! Is that nhs or just every clinic?
I feel lucky I get two blood tests - one today and one on Friday to ensure the HCG is going up as it should. I guess the viability scan will be in a couple of weeks or so. I’m in shock still!
It’s private! We did have our first failed nhs round here too but privately previously had our little girl through them. Just never offered blood tests! I imagine it is reassuring.
I’ll let you know tomorrow when my scan is booked we can support each other through the next couple of week wait 🤞
Amazing idea!
My scan is on 12th February the count down is on!
Feeling quite crampy on and off still the nurse said it’s probably the progesterone and the fact I’m constipated on and off but just hoping it’s not a sign of anything else! X
The waiting for the next step is honestly excruciating isn’t it. I just wish we had a little window and could see what is happening in there!
I get my second blood results tomorrow morning and then I guess I’ll get a scan date for a couple of weeks. I think the longer it sticks the more anxious I am! I didn’t think I’d get this far! Flipping between feeling positive and wondering when I’m going to start bleeding!
I just want to sleep for the next 8 weeks away until I can get NIPT and 12 week scan results!!!
Congratulations on your BFP!!
I had a 2dt on 11/1. My OTD is Tuesday and I’m not feeling hopefull at all as I have absolutely no symptoms. I had sore boobs up until yesterday so I feel like AF will start showing her face!
The TTW is awful
Good luck! It’s hard isn’t it xxx
So hard!!
I seen you comment that your in Perth, I’m in Perth also. Can I ask what clinic you went through? X
We actually are at city fertility in Melbourne at the moment using donor embryos xxx
Dreaded 2ww
2WW anyone?
Worse than the 2ww (sensitive)
2ww nearing the end! 
2ww 😫
