I’m currently 5 weeks pregnant after our 2nd transfer. Every night since BFP I’ve had cramping that woke me up. and I’ve felt bloated and breathless. This week so far there has been no noticeable symptoms. I can’t help but worry something is wrong. Has anyone experienced something similar and had a good outcome?
I’m on 20mg prednisolone per day and I’ve read it can mask symptoms so I’m not sure if this is what’s happening.
Steroids reduce inflammation so can mask many symptoms of pregnancy. However if you’re waking up short of breath then you need to tell your clinic x
Thank you. So far it’s breathlessness during the day/evening but I’ll keep an eye on it x
With me, symptoms came and went and the best advice I got was that unless you are bleeding out heavy, assume all is well and honestly that’s what got me through. I hope that this may help you too xx
Thank you. I’m going to have to try and relax and trust my body knows what it is doing xx
I am 5 weeks tomorrow and also woken very anxious today due to very minimal / no symptoms. I’m on loadsss of meds including steroids so hoping the same as you! Trying to relax is hard 😂
Maybe we should be grateful that we have no symptoms. The wait for an ultrasound is by far worse than the two week wait. Congratulations and good luck x
When is your scan? Mine will be week of the 6th Jan but not confirmed. I am getting hcg / progesterone blood tests every few days at my clinic so I’m very lucky but I’m still so anxious, I’m back there tomorrow so hopefully that makes me feel better x
Those extra tests for reassurance are very good, my clinic doesn’t offer anything except the scan which is 8th Jan.
I had my hcg done by my doctor. The result came in yesterday and it was 4702 but they don’t offer a follow up xx
what day were you yesterday? 4702 sounds amazing!
I’ve seen people with higher so I thought mine was a bit low. I should really learn to stop comparing pregnancies as they are all different x
It’s so hard not too though isn’t it! I’ll be 5 weeks tomorrow so will be interested to see what mine comes back at! X
Hi Thierry101 Kerry1487 how are you both holding up? I am reaching out as I've started my prednisolone 5mg tablet today (1st one) before my 2nd FET (prev 2 transfers failed) I'm super scared. I don't know why I feel terrified all over again. How did you both ease your mind when first starting the steroids and whilst you have been on them has your health been okay?x
Omg congratulations 🎊 did they say how long you have to be on them and when to lower your dose now that you have a positive?x
thank you. Not yet. I have my 7 week scan on Wednesday so I’ll find out what happens. I think my consultant mentioned I could be on them for the full pregnancy x
