FET #4

[Lu1120]

Hi everyone,

I’m a long time reader but first time poster and just need somewhere to vent a little anxiety.

The journey has been quite long over the last 3 years with 2 cancelled IUIs due to overstimulation, 1 IVF with completely failed fertilisation and then 2 ICSIs which were freeze all due to severe OHSS both times. I’ve also had ERA and EMMA done this spring following FET #3

I had FET number 4 on Tuesday with a “good” 5 day embryo (am now 3dp5dt) and have had absolutely no symptoms at all except for after taking my cyclogest when there’s a little cramping.

Last year FETs 2 and 3 both had symptoms (cramping, thirst, implantation spotting) but ended in chemical pregnancies but the first had no symptoms at all and ended in a bfn.

The sensible part of my brain knows that every cycle is different and to not worry but anxiety is creeping in! Anyone else with no symptoms and it all worked out?

thanks

Hello,

Thank you for sharing 🩷. Just messaging in solidarity.

I’m 2dp5dt so in the thick of it too, with not even a hit of anything. I hear your anxieties. It’s hard to listen to the rational mind during this time isn’t it. It’s a bit of a wild ride to put it lightly!

I’m sure the other girls will be able to share their wisdom with you, but I just wanted to say that I’m sending all the sticky dust and good vibes your way. May this be your time ✨

xx

Hi lovely,

I've had 9 FETs (our 6th one was our lucky one) and for each one I would say the symptoms have been different.

On my first successful FET I had absolutely no symptoms at all - in fact I had very few symptoms throughout the whole pregnancy.

I had an mmc in June, and during that 2ww I had very mild cramps, insane hunger and was very very tired.

So each one really is different - I know it's hard but try not to compare.

Sending positive vibes! xx

Thank you for taking the time to reply- what a journey you’ve had. It’s reassuring to hear that every cycle really is different xx

yes I had absolutely no symptoms at all with my BFP. I was convinced it hadn’t worked so I tested a couple of days early so I could go for a run and clear my head and it was a total shock. No symptoms until at least 5-6 weeks for me 🍀🍀🙏🙏 good luck xx

Thank you for your reply, it’s so nice to hear that others have been in the same boat with symptoms or lack thereof! xx

Just a message to wish you luck and fingers crossed. I'm about to have a FET next week, we have gone for a donor embryo abroad this is our first go at this as we have had a big bag of results previously with, icsi with 10 week miscarriage, failed round of icis, 2 failed FETs.

It's quite the journey for us all.
