Should medication not be giving me symptoms?

[Booda21]

Morning ladies,

Just on my daily dose of insomnia and overthinking. But today (Sunday) will be 3 days since my frozen embryo transfer. And I have no symptoms at all from my medication. Normally I would at least fuller feeling boobs but I have nothing. My progesterone was on the lower side on transfer day so they’ve added x1 lubion in as well so I have had 3 doses of that now, alongside 3x cyclogest. Should I not be feeling something from this? It’s making me worry that my progesterone was still too low. I asked about repeat bloods but they said if it was still low there’s nothing else they can do to make it higher. So I said if that’s the case I don’t think I want to know then as it would just put me in a negative mind set that it’s doomed from the beginning. I have left over prontogest and I’m wondering if I should add one of these in to give it a boost. My clinic is closed on a Sunday so I can’t ask.

So basically has anyone else had zero symptoms even from the medication? I hate the 2ww overthinking. I keep having a word with myself as basically there really is not a lot I can do. I just so want it to work 🥺

The main symptoms I ever experienced from the medications used in transfer were digestive. And the opposite of what you expect, so not constipation. Estrogen tablets gave me headache but after a few transfers it got better.

I never experienced sore or fuller breasts from progesterone pessaries or injections.

Many people will say had zero symptoms and got a positive result and many others the opposite. I know it's easy to say but symptoms or absence of them means nothing.

I know, it’s hard not to compare cycles isn’t it. It’s just this is my last embryo, it’s the only euploid I got from my round. It was hatching at transfer so I feel like if this doesn’t work, it’s never going to 😫. Thanks so much for sharing your experience, gives me some hope that I may still stand a chance 🤞 x

I had no symptoms at all throughout my entire 2ww, I'm 10 weeks today and still the only symptom I've got is slight heartburn, my boobs haven't been sore, and I've had no nausea or anything.i was worried this meant bad news but we had a scan at 8wk 4 days and baby had a strong heartbeat and was measuring 3 days ahead. I know it's hard not to over analyse everything but lack of symptoms doesn't necessarily mean a negative result. Even after seeing baby on my scan I'm still convinced I'm not pregnant because I don't have symptoms 😂

Good luck ✨

Aw congratulations on your bfp 🫶 I know it’s mad isn’t it, you want the symptoms to make you feel reassured but then I’m sure anyone who hasn’t gone through ivf is made up when they have none. It’s such a wild experience the whole thing. Thanks for sharing your experience. Hopefully the fact that others haven’t had much from meds doesn’t mean bad news 🤞🤞 x

yes I had zero symptoms throughout the 2 ww and my progesterone was above the required level. I had two successful 2ww and no symptoms for either of them. Symptoms came at 5-6 weeks xx

Thanks so much for your reply and reassurance. It’s good to know it’s not just me! And congrats on your success xx

I was the same last FET (which was transfer number 10gazillion lol) not one single symptom even from the meds (which I usually do get) and I was in a LOT of progesterone! Got a BFP and currently 15 weeks so no you dont always have to get symptoms from the meds for it to work 🤗

Thanks so much for your reply. And huge congrats on your current BFP! It’s so weird how it all works isn’t it. It’s just one big endurance test! My insomnia is off the charts is my main issue 😫 but I think it’s the steroid, plus had quite a lot of external problems in the past week. Typical timing! Thanks for sharing your experience and giving me some glimmer of hope 🤞 xxx
