6DP5DT & Scared

New here & first post but Google keeps popping the page up as I'm frantically searching.This is my 7th round of IVF, my third with DE, you'd think I'd be used to this 2ww but I'm sure it's getting worse.

I'm 6dp5dt with 2 tested embryos and don't feel a thing. I did have a few twinges & sore boobs, they came before FET but have gone now. I'm not bloated, I'm not anything. I did have a little nausea yesterday but I've had to up my progesterone dose so putting it down to that. I've a bad chest too but I'm on steroids that have wiped my immune system.

Struggling to remain positive, we've thrown everything at this round so I don't know why it won't work 😫

Hi, keep yourself busy. Symptom spotting will make you anxious. Wishing you success.

hi, try and distract yourself from symptoms. I honestly never had a single symptom before at least 6 weeks pregnant. For my successful cycle, I felt absolutely no different, I felt 100% fine and even went running, I felt so normal. Try and stay positive, everything crossed for you xx

Thanks KitKat, this gives me hope as I feel so so normal. It's just so hard when you know you've had the transfer to not overthink it. Every time I tell myself not to symptom spot but here I am again, I am keeping busy it's just when I sit down my mind wanders

I don't think the symptoms or lack of mean anything this early and it's usually the meds. Sometimes I've had really strong 'pregnancy' symptoms and then it turned out the HCG have never risen high enough to have caused anything to happen, and I've had different symptoms each time. On my successful FET I didn't get proper symptoms until about 5/6 weeks and that was with sky high HCG and an early implanter. When I did get symptoms they were unmistakable and I realised everything before was the meds. But also bear in mind some women get zero symptoms throughout pregnancy too - they would probably just count themselves very lucky whereas with IVF we don't think like that.

hi there. I saw your story. Just wondered how you are getting on during your 2WW. I’m in exactly the same boat right now xx

I tested yesterday at 8dp5dt and got a positive. Now getting a few more twinges which I only really noticed when I'm not busy and a bit of nausea if I'm hungry. I honestly believe if I wasn't looking for symptoms that I'd really notice either of these though.How long into your 2ww are you? XX

that’s great news 🙏. I am on day 3. I had two grade C embryos transferred. I’ve no symptoms yet. I did a test and it’s negative. I know it’s too early though but it’s driving me crazy lol x

It's the worst wait ever! You're just desperate to have a little idea of what's going on. 3 days is definitely way to early, but I totally understand why you did it XX
