After embryo transfer

[Woodcottage1]

Hello! I know this is a rabbit hole, but anyone have any symptoms to look out for on the two week wait? So much hope 🙈🙈🙈

Just came to say good luck! There are no definite symptoms at all - plenty of people get pregnant with none, and plenty of people feel all kinds of symptoms that are caused by the progesterone rather than pregnancy and so get extra disappointed.

If you can wait til OTD to test, do - it will spare you days of agonising.

Honestly please try to just ignore 'symptoms'. Any you do get are mostly the drugs and many people have none and still have a good outcome. It really means nothing. Some people like to test early, others wait it out. Personally I wait as I like to know the outcome is definite rather than more uncertainty but can understand those who test early. If you did a fresh transfer you will need to make sure any residual trigger has gone if you're testing early. Good luck!

@Woodcottage1 the 2wW is agonising but there is no way of knowing other than testing.

I did 6 transfers across my IVF journey and had every kind of result (1 negative, 2 chemicals, 1 miscarriage, 2 successful pregnancies). I honestly believed I knew the symptoms for my own body at least. So much so that I was in floods of tears the last time because I 100% knew it hadn't worked. Needless to say I was wrong and ended up with a healthy pregnancy. There really is no way of knowing but that in itself is agony I know.

Personally I always tested at 10dp5dt because that is the equivalent of 15dpo and should be accurate. My original clinic had that as test day but others are later. Some clinics have very late test days but it really depends what works for you psychologically as it won't change the outcome.

Best of luck x

Thank you, I’ll wait and see and try not to torment myself xx

@Woodcottage1 - I'm in the same boat as you. My test day is Tuesday. 14 days post 5day transfer. I decided to wait till OTD. Had really bad cramping yesterday and day before. Was to to go in for clinical review but it stopped yesterday night, this morning.

I did so much symptom spotting and it is all really pointless until the pregnancy test. It's easier said than done I know... I need to get really early on Tuesday to go into the office. So planning to do test just before getting into the shower. I'm dreading it. Just the idea of doiyit fills me with fear. But given I will have to rush to leave at least I won't have time to overthink and will just get on with things

@Woodcottage1 when is your testing day? How are you planning of doing it? I wish you good luck 🌸

hi, i just had my first FET last Thursday. I am ask to do pregnancy test on 23 - 25 October. No symptoms just bloating and constipation. I am also tired and sleepy after the cyclogest in the morning. I als just recovered from Covid so I dont know if my tiredness is due to Covid or due to the progesterone.

What kind of supplements do you take now after the egg transfer?
