Symptoms before IVF BFP

[girljulian]

Just posting this thread, not really for responses, but because I know I googled this obsessively in my two week wait.

I had a FET of a 5-day embryo and tested when I was told, 15 days after transfer, and not before.

I had absolutely no symptoms of any kind until two days before the test date, at which point my heart rate started to increase a bit (via Fitbit) and I also had some diarrhoea.

That was it. I was convinced it hadn't worked because there were no real symptoms. This morning: dye-stealers! BFP!

I just thought it might be helpful for people to know that it is possible to have basically no symptoms and for it to have worked. If you look at the NHS "your pregnancy" pages it does clearly say that loads of people have no symptoms before 6 weeks (and some people not even after that) but we're so focused on symptom-spotting when we're doing IVF, aren't we?

Congratulations ! Xx

Thank you so much for this! Most definitely on Google everyday thinking it hasn’t worked for me at the moment as I don’t have a single symptom not even sore boobs. Thanks for your post 🤞 congratulations to you.

@Laurenm1990 I had no symptoms either, literally zero but it worked, good luck!

Hope it works for you @Laurenm1990! unfortunately I miscarried at 8 weeks.

Thank you so much for your reply and congratulations 🥰xxx

@girljulian I am so sorry to hear 😢 sending you lots of love! Thank you for your reply xx

I'm curious too, although I know it has nothing to do with my situation. Did any of the BFPs feel like you were about to/having a period, just without bleeding?

No

@girljulian I realise my post came off insensitive, I didn't read the thread properly. I'm sorry about your loss.
