FET - 2ww symptoms

Pizzax profile image

hi ladies

So I had my FET finally yesterday. All went well. This is my first frozen transfer - last year I had a fresh transfer which was unsuccessful.

I have a question - did anyone notice any different with symptoms between the fresh and frozen in 2 week wait? Last night around dinner time I had a horrible cramp mainly on the left side, but it didn’t come and go, instead it was just there constantly. It faded away after an hour or so. Since then I don’t feel anything really! Just tired and a twinge here and there.

anyone else experience this?

progesterone gives you all sorts of cramping/pulling, breast symptoms, nausea, fatigue etc so anything you feel could be meds. Try and distract yourself until OTD and enjoy being PUPO. Best of luck :)

Sorry lovely I think my message came across wrong. What I was trying to say was this is my 2nd transfer but I’m not feeling any symptoms really at all apart from tiredness and very very mild twinges. It was only one moment yesterday where I had a sharp ongoing cramp but then disappeared after 30 mins or so x

❤️it’s such early days. Take good care of yourself. The 2WW is so agonising. I’ve found crafting, funny boxsets and gentle walks really good for distraction xx

I had my FET on Thursday so similar timeline.

I have had 2 fresh transfers and this will be my 7th frozen - every time my symptoms have been so different so I can never confidently go off symptoms alone. Every time my medications have changed slightly so I put it down to that.

Sending positive thoughts for you <3

Hello! :) I am ok, trying my best to keep busy but I don’t think I can last till 10DP5DT to test - I am 5DP5DT.

I am feeling quite crampy and a little bit sick but possibly down to the meds?

How are you? How have you been feeling?x

Hey lovely I have been okay. Same as you really! Crampy here and there and this morning definitely felt sick every time I ate. Back pain as well! Felt more like period related the back pain but who knows. I’m 4DP5DT. So pretty much same as you. I gave in and did a test from 2DP LOL of course it was negative but now been doing one everyday since. Negative so far! X it’s tough isn’t it - this whole wait 😔 xxx

oh yes I have had lower back pain too - finding it hard to get comfortable at night.

I think I will start testing, I feel the anticipation is worse and I need to know either way xx

Pizzax in reply toTallOne92

I am exactly the same! I didn’t test the first time around last year but this time I told myself it’s better for me. Otherwise it just builds up for me and then if it fails, it hits me a lot harder. I’d rather know what’s going on in my body day by day. Xx when are you planning to test? Xx

I will definitely test in the morning. I just have the easy @ home tests from Amazon. xx

Do you think it will read HCG tomorrow for you as it’s day 6? XX

I have tested previously at this point and it has so I really hope so 🤞🏻

Will you continue testing every day? I am so hopeful we get our positives xx

Hi Pizzax! How are you? Any updates.

I got my positive yesterday. Very cautiously hopeful. Official test day is Tuesday with a scan 2 weeks later if it’s positive at that point 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

Omg no way!!! That’s amazing news! Congratulations! I hope it continues to go well for you! Was it a strong line? I didn’t actually test at all yesterday or today 😀 and I don’t know if I want to. I am scared of the disappointment of seeing a negative! Xx

I know, I’m so happy. I did one in the morning and evening and the evening one was a bit stronger.

I completely understand how you feel - totally natural to want to protect your heart ❤️ do whatever feels right to you. I have everything crossed for you xx

TallOne92 in reply toPizzax

It was day 6. I was so bloated yesterday and had a few dizzy spells.

I have had on and off cramping and back pain for a few days as well.xx
