7dp5dt FET

143 replies

Mumofone07 · 27/04/2021 07:35

Hey everyone, I'm currently 7dp5dt on my first FET. I had a failed fresh transfer last year I started spotting at 6dp5dt so I new I was out the game! We had 3 left in the freezer so had one 5BA blastocyst transferred on the 20th of April 😀 I have not really had that many symptoms. I had cramping the evening of transfer and then right side cramping 2dp5dt. The day of 5dp5dt my belly just felt weird and my nipples were tingly and felt a bit sicky. I came home from work and just had to take a test and to my surprise it came back with a bfp!! My line is getting stronger but ofcourse I'm still so worried! My OTD isn't till the 5th of May 😱🙏 not sure what I'm asking but anyone else with the same sort of dates? Xxx pic of my tests :) xxx

@willithappen maybe like u said you don't get stronger lines with fmu I really can't see much difference so don't be too disappointed as it takes 48hrs for hcg to double. But the clear blue test is lovely and strong!

@willithappen I personally don't see enough difference to assume there's a problem, but of course it's understandable that it would worry you at this early stage. I think it's a bad idea to test daily for this reason. Your urine could be slightly more diluted for any number of reasons and you wouldn't really expect it to be noticeably darker a day apart when the lines are already strong. Fingers crossed 🤞

willithappen · 29/04/2021 15:55

Thanks @Yokey that's very reassuring. I have no tests left in the house and going to leave it that way for a few days! 🙈

willithappen · 29/04/2021 19:19

Small update, I have gone back and looked and compared the tests now (also did an afternoon one today) and the lines are darker/the same colour so I think I'm less worried now!

I have put the PM one with 8day past just for a separate comparison also. I was really working myself up there and stupid I know!
No more tests left so I'm not going to test and line watch again

@willithappen see there is nothing to worry about. Don't test any more until OTD. It just brings unnecessary stress!

I'm stopping now until Wednesday which is otd but did a clearblue digi this morning and had 2-3 weeks so I'm feeling a whole lot better now.
I didn't test at all yesterday and already convinced myself that I had lost the baby already. Kept feeling like my period was coming. I know it's going to feel like this forever as well this constant worry

Yokey · 01/05/2021 14:42

@willithappen I had period pain in early pregnancy exactly like before AF. It made it really difficult to believe I was pregnant and I was expecting AF constantly. I think it's really normal.

@willithappen I got my 2-3 weeks on digital too Grin cramping in early pregnancy is normal. I had it with my son 14 years ago. Xx

Hi ladies! I got very excited to find you!!
I tested yesterday at 7dp5dt and got a BFP too!! We were really shocked!!
Didn't expect such a line so early! But yours are like mine so exciting!!!
We have beta on Friday at 12dpt.

How are you doing??

willithappen · 03/05/2021 11:05

@Sungirl11 great line lovely!! Congratulations ❤️ how are you feeling?

I'm feeling okay, haven't tested since 11dp5dt and I'm currently 13dp5dt soooo that's a win a lil haha
Otd is Wednesday so gonna do a test that morning and call clinic.
I feel like the tiniest bit of sickness but so small I could be thinking it into existence. Other than that I feel nothing and would forget I'm pregnant if it wasn't everything I thought about every minute of the day! But yeah very little symptoms. I'm 4+3 today so I think it's normal

Sungirl11 · 03/05/2021 11:33

@willithappen thank you for replying!!
I'm ok! Yesterday I started having a bit of tummy pain period like and today it's stronger. But i've seen you had them too.
The app I downloaded (pregnancy+) says i'm 3w6d today.
And apart from this obviously my boobies are very painful, I always have a dry mouth and I am crazy tired and sleepy! Also go to the loo twice every night and a lot more than usual during the day.
But all these symptoms I believe are the progesterone, i'm having the pessaries and injections twice a day. And I am also drinking more water than I have ever done.
I test every morning on cheepies (i had a box of 20u from before i knew we needed IVF) so i'm using these to keep as memories. I only tested the frer yesterday and have another one for Friday before beta and a CB week indicator for pics when we confirm we are pregnant and all good haha

Congratulations @Sungirl11 lovely looking lines!! Unfortunately my clinic don't offer a beta test :( but my lines are so strong now!

@willithappen didn't you have transfer same day as me? As I'm 4w4d today!

OP posts:
Sungirl11 · 03/05/2021 11:43

@Mumofone07 thank you!! I find it so strange that some clinics don't do beta? I thought it's somethings that has to be done!
So will you have this done through the NHS?

I believe she is 4+4 according to my dates too haha as you are 5 days ahead of me.

Mumofone07 · 03/05/2021 11:47

@Sungirl11 yes me too! As I see a few clinics do test the beta but unfortunately mine doesn't :(
I have a 13 year old from a previous relationship so we had to self fund :)
It's such a surreal feeling isn't it! I still can't believe it to be honest haha xx

OP posts:
Sungirl11 · 03/05/2021 11:55

@Mumofone07 we have paid private too, we did testing through GP and private because GP kept on saying to keep trying as we are young (33/36) even thought there is a clear male factor. We would of got NHS funded but maybe in year 3000. So my sweet mother paid for it before she passed away this year. Our clinic told us better not to test and just wait for beta (🙈 oops that was obviously impossible!).
And yesterday, my birthday and mothers day in Spain (my mom was Spanish) I got my very missed moms last present ❤️

willithappen · 03/05/2021 12:42

@Mumofone07 I had transfer 20th April, does that make me off with my dates? Haha
I just did an ivf due date and popped it into calendars

willithappen · 03/05/2021 14:53

@Mumofone07 sorry I checked my app and it is 4+4 I'm silly 🙈

How are you girls feeling today?

I'm feeling rather sick today and still haven't had a good night sleep.
But OTD is tomorrow and I can't wait to let the clinic know!! It will be hard waiting for that first scan!! Xx

OP posts:
willithappen · 04/05/2021 10:58

@Mumofone07 I got my 3+ on the digi this morning so feeling a lot less anxious! I feel a bit sicky but not anywhere near going to be sick.
I also get to call clinic tomorrow and then we'll go into another two week wait for the scan! Lol

Sungirl11 · 04/05/2021 11:45

Hi girls!! I'm 4 weeks today 😍
I'm ok, my breasts are a lot less painful. Just still feel tired and sometimes i have a bit if period pain, but it's almost gone today.
I have tested on the cheepies and the line is getting darker, I am very excited!

Mumofone07 · 04/05/2021 13:48

Great news @willithappen my digi this morning still said 2-3 but not too worried as not 5 weeks until Thursday lol. It's the waiting game I hate will be so hard waiting for this scan lol.

@Sungirl11 glad the period paid is going away :) good luck for Friday! I know it seems a lifetime away! Haha.

Did you girls just have the 1 embryo transfer? How old are you? Do you girls work ? If so when are you telling your employers? Xx

OP posts:
Sungirl11 · 04/05/2021 14:03

@Mumofone07 we just had one top quality back in (fresh transfer). Due to age (just turned 33) the clinic was a bit against two as they said we had a v big chance of twins and risk pregnancy. And I don't really want to go through risk pregnancy and c section etc! So one was ok for us!
We only had 6 eggs (they expected over 20 but...) and two made it to blastocysts. So we have one in the freezer.
And I do work but in aviation so i'm still on furlough, which makes it easier. If I get called to go back It's then when I will say i'm pregnant. As I obviously can't go back now.

willithappen · 04/05/2021 15:03

Well despite getting that 3+ today I have been to toilet and had a slight tinge of pink there and feel like I'm away to bleed like a period so the anxiety is back and I think I may be out once more. Absolutely heartbroken if this is the case
