TWW Fresh Embryo Transfer Symptoms

[LimeTurtle]

Hi everyone !

I am currently 5 days past a 5 day fresh embryo transfer. I've had slight cramping and lower back pain since day 1 as well as very vivid dreams.
Could these be symptoms that the embryo has implanted ? Or just a side effect of my progesterone pessaries.

We have male infertility factor and my AMH levels and lining were good when I had the transfer. My period is due a week today so I'm now worrying it's just my period coming early before my official test day which would be odd as I'm very regular!
:(

Just feeling a little lonely in this two week wait as I've never wanted something so much !
Any success stories with similar symptoms would be great ?

Thank you in advance 😊

Ahhh @LimeTurtle congratulations!!!!💕💕

I also have a confession... I tested 2 days ago and got a bfp, and again this morning and it's a bit darker so cautiously excited after having a chemical just after OTD the last time, fingers crossed for healthy pregnancies for us all 🌈🤞🥹

@AshMapleOak welcome! hopefully this is the lucky thread 🤣🤞💕

No way !!

Wow 🥹 congratulations ! So happy for you, I'll have my fingers crossed for us both Monday. I may do another strip test tomorrow & then a clear blue Sunday ! But I'm feeling positive because of my result today ! 100% this must be a lucky thread 💕

@LimeTurtle we got this!! Either way we need to both enjoy this happy bubble and hopefully good things will continue to follow🥰🥰 let us know how you get on Monday and enjoy your weekend! xxx

Thank you ! & you ! And will certainly be enjoying the happy bubble💗 do you agree that the trigger should be out of my system now too ? I had it the evening of 5th September ? I had ovitrelle 250IU. Just wondered what your opinion was on that ? 😊xx

@LimeTurtle so sorry, got over excited and forgot about your question re the trigger!! 🤣🤦‍♀️

I honestly don't think you'd get those results from trigger, your line is pretty dark and for the test to say 2-3 weeks I'd say your HCG must be pretty high! Plus timing wise your trigger was over 2 weeks ago, when I was doing clomid cycles pre IVF it was gone by about 9-10 days from memory so I think you're fine! 💕

No it's fine don't worry at all 💗 thank you so much ! I will forget about it now and enjoy the happy bubble alongside you 😄

I only had my transfer and already going insane 🤪

Congratulations on the BFP x

@LimeTurtle 🥰🥰

@Natasha90 I know the feeling! My best tip just keep busy, book in for catch ups with friends and see family, in between watch a box set or a bit of disney 🤣😍🤞

The bloating is horrendous.

What progesterone is everyone on?

@LimeTurtle @cbear1989 OMGGGG!!! 🥰🥰🥰😭😭😭 That’s amazing!! Congratulations to the both of you! The lucky trio 💓 and now hopefully this is the lucky thread 🍀
I totally agree with @cbear1989 the trigger shot is out about 8-9 days. And the test saying 2-3 weeks that’s spot on, isn’t it? Because they start from the date of the first day of your period, right? Oh it’s so confusing sometimes but who cares I’m just so excited for you both! Bring on Monday!! 😍
@Natasha90 @AshMapleOak How’re you both doing? I’m on Cyclogest 400mg pessaries twice a day this time around, last time I had those and more progesterone injections every night for the TWW. What are you taking? Try and drink as much water as you can and up fiber intake because the progesterone slows down digestion and bowel movements which won’t help the bloating one bit 🫣

Sorry guys busy ol' weekend!

I'm on 2x cyclogest progesterone pessaries too, am pretty bloated but not too bad at the moment. My clinic said ill have to take them up to 16 weeks oregnan,so I may need to make my peace with them for a while yet hopefully 🤣

Hope everyone is feeling okay and had a good weekend! Keep busy during that awful 2ww 🤣🤞

Hi !!

I'm still getting 2-3 on clearblue digitals this morning eeekk ! So telling myself it won't drop massively before tomorrow 🥹 do you agree ? 🤣how are you doing ? Good luck for tomorrow 💕xx

@LimeTurtle that's sounds amazing I'm sure tomorrow is just confirming what you already know! I'm okay, still getting strong positives on my strip tests this morning, am saying my digi for tomorrow so not too worried OTD, but can already feel the anxiety and worry creeping in about beyond OTD... literally 2 days after OTD I'd had the chemical last time so I just want this little bug to stick so badly! Trying to stay positive and enjoy it but it's still bloody hard 🥹😅🌈💕

@cbear1989 @LimeTurtle Thinking if you both today 🤞🏻💓

Thank you @Kaybee1989 😘

Excited but anxious, trying to enjoy each day for now but have my 7 week scan booked, and just taking one step at a time!

Annoyingly my Clearblue started loading but then stopped working 🤣🤣 so had to settle with a first response and another strip test this morning, but the lines are pretty dark so I was happy.

@LimeTurtle hope you've got your official BFP today too! 💕

@cbear1989 Ohhhh Congratulations!!!! 🥰 What date is your 7week scan? I’m going on Friday 4th October 🤞🏻

@Kaybee1989 I'm on the 15th! eek, it's gonna be a long 3 weeks...

Also is it just me constantly stressing about symptoms and feeling pregnant enough or not?? 🤦‍♀️😅 not sure which wait is worse 🫣😫

Hi ladies !!

I got my BFP this morning & all confirmed with a blood test ! My HCG is 397 ! Which she said is really good.

Totally get what you mean about symptoms as mine have all disappeared ! Only now worrying as my husband had a weird 24hr cold/flu yesterday and I'm feeling like I'm coming down with it today 😢 hoping I'll be okay !

So happy💕💕

@LimeTurtle amazing congratulations 😘😘😘

@LimeTurtle yayyy congratulations!! I wish my clinic did a beta😅😅 debating whether to just pay for a private one for my own sanity this week so I know it's progressing okay. Also made me feel oddly better that you've said you aren't feeling many symptoms 🤣🤣 I keep getting sickness waves but nothing crazy, fingers crossed for all of us going through this and onto the next milestone! 🌈🤞🥰💕

@LimeTurtle Congratulations! 💓🥳 Have you got a scan booked?
@cbear1989 My clinic did a Beta test with the pregnancy test, but to be honest I’m not sure it actually calmed my nerves or not. My hcg level on day 14 after transfer was 1695. The range of ‘normal’ is soooo large that it doesn’t matter what I get I’m always gonna think that it could be better or am worried that it hasn’t grown since then and would like another one 🫣
The only symptoms I’m having is extremely sore nipples, and some cramping which was worrying at first but I read that it could be the uterus making itself bigger in preparation. Oh and I’ve got to pee more often, like my bladder is smaller now. But no nausea, thank goodness, I read somewhere that if you take folic acid more than 3 months before conception it can help with nausea symptoms so that’s a bonus 👍🏻
@Natasha90 How are you doing? What date is your OTD? 💓

Hi ladies !

Can I have your opinion on something, I have come down with what my husband had I have a temperature, headache, cough and severe lower back pain along with aches and pains down my legs etc.

I'm really worrying about the lower back pain as I've not even been able to lay down as it hurts so much. Do you think there's something wrong ? Or it's just the cold I have - I'm actually thinking it's Covid ! I do usually suffer with aches whenever I get something. Just feel overly analytical of all symptoms now. I've gone down a google rabbit hole during the night and worrying it could be a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy now😢
Just want some reassurance or if I need to be worried let me know 😊

@LimeTurtle I’ve had lower back pain too, and read that it’s just the body changing and is normal. Also you having a horrible cold/flu/virus isn’t gonna help you feeling even more rubbish 😞 Just rest up and try to take care of yourself. As hard as it is, there’s nothing you can really do, this is out of your hands. Look after yourself the best you can and try not to stress, this will give you the best chance 💓💓

@Kaybee1989 😂😂 I have a terrible bladder anyway but I'm constantly peeing so least it's not just me haha plus Im so thirsty, especially in the evening!

Do your clinic just do the one beta test then? Tbf yesterday I was so anxious, but decided rather than drive myself crazy ill probably do a strip test this week for reassurance as last time I was testing negative 3 days after OTD, something feels different this time though I must admit so am starting to feel a bit better. And today's test came up straight away and was soo dark, so I instantly feel less anxious rather than worrying! If I get to the weekend and everything is okay then I'll start to allow myself to feel excited for the scan 🥹💕🤞🌈

I defo feel very nauseous in the morning though, and in the evening too. I'll take it though if we get this gorgeous lil babe in 9 months.

@LimeTurtle honestly please don't stress yourself, I'm sure everything is absolutely fine but I get that you just need a sounding board sometimes! Infertility sends you down every crazy rabbit hole 😂💕

Firstly lower back pain in early pregnancy itself is so common, when you think about what's going on in there it's no wonder some women suffer at this point! it's just your lil embryo getting comfy and beginning to turn into a baby 🥹😍

Secondly you know what it's like when you get the flu, everything just aches, so you've probs caught hubby's cold (naughty hubby🤣🤣), are run down anyway both emotionally and physically from this whole process, plus you're newly pregnant! your body has been through a lot so just rest up and let it do it's thing.

Last thing I meant to say before is I am pretty sure the clear blue tests are from conception so your 2-3 week results so early sound awesome, your HCG must be pretty high so that's an added reassurance that everything is fine and dandy.

I honestly wouldn't worry unless something just feels properly off and you have any bleeding, which again doesn't always mean the worst anyway. You just need some rest, your body is working hard already, minus the cold!

Be kind to yourself and rest up today! watch a Disney movie under a cosy throw, that's my solution to feeling under the weather 🤣😍

Morning everyone,

I'm 6dpt and this morning did a clear blue.

Does the line looks strong enough?
