Positivity needed please

Hello! I’m currently 4dp5dt of a FET. Im actually loosing my mind. This is my 3rd transfer and I have 2 children through ivf already (so so so lucky).

Last transfer I tested positive on day 4 after implantation pain and spotting day 2/3 so I took a test today and BFN. I always test early as I find it usually helps with my anxiety and gets it out of the way for the day and I know it’s super early but can’t help but compare.

I’m telling myself the embryo is worse quality so may take longer to implant / hatch. But I’m having no symptoms other than the occasional very mild cramp and twinge which I feel like is in my mind. I’m loosing the plot, I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I just get this feeling in my gut that it hasn’t worked this time.

Any words of advice or positive stories please to get me through, this page has been my lifesaver over the last 5 years 💖 xxx

no words of advice but just to say I’m with you and you are not alone. I’m D3P5DT, third transfer.. previously 1 BFN and 1 chemical so hoping this will be the one.

I’m not going to test until OTD myself.. maybe a POAS in the morning but then the blood test that day too.

Trying so hard to pay zero attention to symptoms..! Sending you lots of love xxx

I’m currently 3dp5dt only symptoms I’m heaving is like a fullness heavy feeling but nothing else. My first fet was negative and I didn’t have any symptoms then so hard to compare/know what to expect. Not sure I can wait until OTD though. Fingers crossed for you

I had this until yesterday but thought it was more like bloating from the progesterone, the wait is so hard. Sending you lots of luck xx

hey lovely every pregnancy is different. I tested early with pregnancies since our first daughter was born ( 2 live daughters 1 late loss and 4 miscarriages) but this cycle I got negatives until my period was missing. I then I had heavy cramping and was so sure it was done but to my surprise got a BFP only 5 weeks and with our history I can't get excited ( our lost miscarriage was October) You are definitely not out. Could just be a later implantation. Good luck Xx

I’m just here to bring the positivity! Positive thinking attracts positive results. It’s the laws of attraction. I’m trying to focus on this. I’m 1dp5dt, 6th transfer and embryos 7&8. THIS IS MY TIME!!

Repeat - I am worth it and I deserve this baby 💖

I did find with a FeT I can take a bit longer to show (fresh I did see a tiny smidge of a line at day 4 but not FET) day 6/7 before a FET has shown for me (chemicals, miscarriage and successful one) so I defo think you are still in with a chance this round 🤗 xx

I was the opposite with my fresh I got a bfp day 7 - isn’t it funny how different things are each time and I think that’s what wasn’t prepared for and I need to stop comparing each cycle! X

thanks so much for everyone’s kind words they really have helped. I had some cramping and twinges last night then a heavy feeling followed by tingly boobs. Wanted to let you know I tested this morning and have a very faint bfp. Praying this sticks xx
