Frozen Embryo 'Re-expansion'

2 replies

Had my FET so now on the 2WW which is already driving me insane but trying to relax and keep myself occupied.

We had a 5AA transferred. They said when it thawed it went to 95% (needs to be at least 50%) but they said that it didn't expand. They said not to worry as they don't always but really concerned now as from my reading it should expand. Has anyone got any experience with this?

Also, what symptoms are normal after a FET and how quickly?

Do you know how long it was between thawing and transferring? I had this with a 5BB last year and it was a BFN but it had been thawed for a good few hours and still hadn't woken up much but the embryologist assured me that it was still fine but I have no idea whether that ultimately was the cause of the BFN (suspect not as it was a PGS tested mosaic so chances of implantation were lower anyway)

I'm 14 weeks with twins from an FET and had zero syndrome in the 2ww- nothing. All the other ladies in my MN thread had cramps, sore boobs, nausea, flushed etc etc and I had nothing and was convinced it hadn't worked. So honestly loads of symptoms or lack of them - doesn't have a bearing on whether you get a BFN or a BFP

@ivfdreaming I'm not sure. I think they called me for memory at about 9.30 to say they were going to shortly and I was in for transfer at 1.15. I wish I had asked more questions as it's playing on my mind so much.

I've got a few cramps, odd pulling sensation, feeling tired and my boobs seem to be getting sorer by the day. I'm trying to be positive but also don't want to get my hopes up!
