I am day 3 post 5 day transfer. My test day is Nov 13th and for the first time in forever I have decided not to sneak test. I decided to wait for own mental health.
I'm trying to stay positive but feeling anxious today.
Anyone else in similar boat?
Wishing everyone in their journey success, peace and love.

Hi Rella , hope you’re well xx we had our FET this Thursday , OTD 12th November. I have only had another transfer before and we didn’t test early. This time I’ve told myself maybe we’d test a couple days before but not earlier than that (day 10th).
Try to do nice things to get your mind distracted , find a new series , new book or any new hobby xx I know it’s tough but hopefully time will pass quickly xx
Sending you loads of good luck your way, I hope this is our lucky time. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Thank you for the lovely advice. I'm working so it's been distraction enough for me but after work I'm fighting the urge to test early.I'm keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you that it is a success and you have an easy wait period!
Thank you lovely ❤️ hopefully this will be our lucky time ! I’m also working through the 2ww it definitely helps !! Let’s see how far we manage to resist 😂
Hi Rella, just checking on you , how are you feeling?? Have you resisted the need to test well? 😂 thank God is Thursday tomorrow, I feel this is going too slowly xx
hi, I’m on day 6 of my 2 week wait after FET, we transferred a blastocyst emby.
Official test day is 11th but I took a test this morning, as it’s my step sons birthday the weekend of my test and I didn’t want to ruin his weekend if I’m finding out for the first time it hasn’t worked. And I didn’t fancy doing the test on a week day and having to go to work…
Sadly the test was negative, I know it’s early and I will have to test again on 11th but there is no point fooling myself, I really thought it was going different this time. Feeling deflated and just confused as it was the best round we’ve ever done and it’s the furthest we’ve ever got, I have some more frozen embryos so I now I can try again, it just breaks my heart as I feel like my bodies failing.
I have my fingers and toes crossed for you on 13th I hope it’s the result you’ve been waiting for xxxx
Hi Savannah,I'm sorry to hear it was negative but it is still early so don't lose hope until it's official. I know what you mean about having those emotions dealt with prior rather than whilst other events are on. Like yourself I am working all week and next week too so would like to know by the weekend if it is negative or positive.
I am praying things turn for the positive for you. I know this journey is so exhausting and unbelievably stressful. Glad to hear you have frozen embryos! Wishing you the best dear
Hi Savannah9 I dont want to hijack Rella22's thread but I have to reply. I had no line until the night before test day and even then very, very faint. I did get a positive test next day, I'm still being cautious about the + and won't say bfp as it's weak, (I'm going for bloods soon). Point is, seeing other ladies had faint lines and me none had me feeling miserable and deflated esp as nothing else to transfer. I even made a post on here, and the kind people stepped up and told me what I'm saying now - 6dpt really is too early to tell. You could well still get that + as I did.
I know it’s so hard to keep the positive thoughts going as we’ve had lots of set backs and i automatically feel like that’s what’s happened this time. But even if it isn’t the news I hope and pray for, I know I’m lucky I have some more embys which is more than we’ve ever had before.
But congratulations to you, I completely understand your caution regarding the positive, i can see how it can be hard to believe it could be true, but this is your time and I’m sending you love and wishing you so much luck on your journey xx
Yes we can support each other during this time! I'll be praying for you and keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you that you have a successful transfer. Hang in there 🙏
3dpt 5 day blastocyst transfer on a medicated cycle .. i am absolutely petrified. No symptoms as of yet so just feeling really down , my first was a fresh that worked but sadly lost my baby at 21 weeks to fetal anomaly . My only embryo left so really scared . Just praying for a miracle . I am 26 with pcos . Goodluck ❤️
Hi I am so sorry for your loss that's incredibly sad and praying a miracle baby for you. It's great to have this forum yo share experiences and hope together.
I’m 3dp5dt too.. so happy to see I’m not the only one in this tww this is my 5th transfer. Did an endometrial scratch this time and down regulated FET with embryo glue. It’s our last embryo we had 6 😞 so hoping for the best 🤞🤞 my test date is the 13th too. I’m going to try and not test too but it’s so hard not to analyse any little symptom. I’ve been on and off one minute I feel like there’s no symptom then I feel down, then I’ll feel a Tiny ache and be like oh it could be working. TWw rollercoaster 🙈
Sending you all the positivity and baby dust and hugs 🤗 xx you got this ❤️
Aww we are in the same boat. At this point I've convinced myself of everything and then doubt it all over again.I am crossing all my fingers and toes for you. Please let this be the time for you!
Hi dear,That's brilliant, I know what you mean about looking at every single symptom and thinking it's either a good sign or a terrible one that somethings amiss.
Absolute headwreck! I am feeling much better after the first few days. I am trying to keep busy with work and catching up with family/friends.
Hi Rella, hope you are well. Just had my first fresh ICSI transfer due to male factor infertility, test date is also 13 November! How have you been symptom wise? How are you feeling? Ive had horrendous cramps/ headache and moody af, im guessing its all progesterone based, as only 5dp5dt, but have no idea what to expect being first cycle! Also feeling anxious about the whole situation, here to chat if needed! Xx
Uh i feel you so bad!!! I only tested out my trigger prior to transfer and then once since at 2dpt so when i do test I know its 100% positive if it is, but no i havent tested since, probably going to in the next few days though, because otherwise probs have a breakdown hahahaha xx
Hi Rella, I have just come off my 2ww and was very anxious. I lost it and started testing day 6. So your feelings are well justified. I couldn't win, would have been the same mentally whether I tested or not tested. You can't stop time, test day will be here, so hang in there and fingers crossed.
Hi Rella. My test day was yesterday. I had a positive, I'm being very cautious as it's very weak. I am going for bloods at my clinic later in the week, that should say if there's enough hormone in there or early miscarriage. Even then I'm still going to be cautious until my 6 week scan and I see the gestational sac isn't empty. I know everyone reacts differently. I just don't want my heart broken.
Congratulations 🎊 That's amazing news 👏 Yes I understand what you mean about being cautious but you equally deserve to celebrate where you're at now. I am so happy for you and pray that every single day moving forward until delivery is a smooth and healthy journey. 🙌
I’m on day 7, first go with a fresh transfer and this waiting is honestly killing me. I’m 42 and I feel so lucky so far that they managed to harvest more eggs than expected and the quality is good. Blood test on the 14th… I am not religious but the prayers are in full flow 🤞🏻
Hi Louise,I will be crossing all my fingers and toes for you. A little extra prayer never hurts so I'll throw that in too. The days seem longer than before lol!
Hi Louise, I hope you’re well , don’t count yourself out just yet xx , no symptoms can also be a symptom, it’s really hard to distinguish what’s caused by the progesterone as well xx
I don’t have experience of testing earlier but I’ve told myself the earliest I’ll do it if I cannot wait any longer would be day 10 xx
Thank you so much… I tested, tested and tested again and I am so far pregnant. It feels very surreal, I’m so happy but absolutely petrified. I’m also more tired than I have ever been in my life!
That’s saying a lot given that I have been through chemo!
I’m crossing fingers and toes for everyone here waiting xxx
