back pain after transfer

[wales1986]

Hi i had my 5 day embryo transfer on tuesday the 29th and my test day is the 8th. I’ve been getting really strong back aches over the last 2 days and i wondered if this is something that anyone has experienced? The wait is really hard and every pain i’m getting i’m overthink which is not wise i know! Tia x

it could be absolutely anything at this stage I’m afraid (hormones from meds, periods coming, unrelated or implantation) still too early to tell I’m afraid but not long now fingers crossed for you xx

Thank you, it’s hard though not to think of every twinge! it’s my last embryo so just praying x

Hi! As Twiglet2 says, it could be the medication. For me personally, the back pain came during the cycle that worked. Fingers crossed this is the case for you too!

That’s nice to hear, it gives me some home. I’m being told by everyone not to think about it. I’m back to work tomorrow as i’m. a teacher so will certainly not have time to think thank goodness 😂 How many transfers did you have until it worked? If you don’t mind me asking x

Our second transfer was our lucky one. xx

[wales1986 in reply to Eloquentia]

I transferred one fresh embro 2 years ago and then 2 frozen at the same time and now this is my last one . None of them have taken but i didn’t have the constant back ache with the others that’s why i was curious.

This time i’ve had acupuncture, paid for the progesterone injections incase the cyclogest are not getting there and also had the endometrial scratch. So i have done everything i could think of as it’s my last go x

[Eloquentia in reply to wales1986]

All fingers crossed this is your lucky one! Before my successful FET, I did fertility reflexology, which was really good for relaxing me. Like you, I also had my progesterone increased - tripled the dose compared to the first transfer. I think that definitely made the difference.

I take the elleste solo 5 times a day and have the patches to that i change every 3 days . The things we do for a baby! x

All very much worth it! xxx

My test day is the 7th and I've had horrible backache for the last few days also. I know there could be a million reasons for it but fingers crossed it's a good sign for both of us 😀

[wales1986 in reply to StarsAllAround]

I hope so, good luck for the 7th i would love to hear your oaoatovw news 😬 it’s so exciting! x

[StarsAllAround in reply to wales1986]

Good luck today fingers crossed 🤞 for you x

Hey I had backache in my successful transfer. It was my 7th and last transfer

Not wanting to get your hopes up in case but it was the only thing that stood out from the other transfers

Best of luck 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Thants nice to hear, hearing others positive experiences i really feel helps me.

That’s how i feel the back ache was so strong and constant for 2 days and i never had it like that before. It’s day 7 post transfer today and i so badly want to test, do you think i should wait?

You went through this 7 times wow i don’t know if emotionally i could go through all this again it’s heartbreaking each time but then again i can’t ever imagine not being a mum x

[Beclp in reply to wales1986]

That’s exactly how I felt . I couldn’t imagine my life without a child.

At 6 dp I just thought eff it and tested and was so surprised to see a positive.

I’d given up testing early many transfers before but I just wanted to know

It’s so hard 😪😪

[wales1986 in reply to Beclp]

How did you cope when it didn’t work so many times?

i’ve had 2 transfers 1 fresh and 2 embryos frozen that were put in together and this is my 3rd, and they have never implanted so never fit that posistive. I’m a primary teacher so surrounded by children and mentally after it failed it’s hard to deal with and i become anxious and try meditation but i find my mind is too busy to switch off.

what did you do to help you?

How old is your little one now? x

[Beclp in reply to wales1986]

I took some time to grieve and tried again.

It’s been quite a journey

43 eggs taken out over 5 eggs collections , 8 embryos in total (started at 40 so not great odds for me) and the last one worked

I would have moved to donor embryos if it didn’t work

Currently 20 weeks 🩷

Meditation was a big help for me, especially gratitude practice but everyone is different

Sending lots of positive vibes your way 💫💫💫 I really hope this is your positive 🙌🙌

Sounds like you have been through a lot but how amazing that you finally get your happy ending so happy for you.

I bought moonstone crystal bracelets and earrings have been manifesting like mad! Even to the point of me and my partner putting a baby vest in our pillow case!!

The things you do!

I wish you all the happiness with your little one when he/ she arrives! lots of love xx

Unfortunately i got a negative test result yesterday, feel totally heartbroken!

I’m going to give myself some time and we hope to try at least once maybes outside of the uk as i have heard they have higher rates.

I feel so drained and exhausted from but i just pray we have success one day x
