I am 3DPT5DT. This is the furthest I have even gotten - we got our free round on the NHS 4 years ago but didn’t get anything past 3 days but transferred one that looked ok - negative. Have been trying for 6 years this year. Partner had temporary sperm blockage - samples were great and then dropped to nothing really randomly - did a micro tese 4 years ago and was completely empty. Fast forward to this year we have gone privately with 2 rounds of eggs I froze a couple of years ago - he repeated his sample just for peace of mind as we had purchased donor sperm and low and behold - sperm results had returned completely normal.
We thawed 31 eggs - 31 survived the thaw, 21 fertilised but by day 5 we only had 2 left (1x 5AA Transferred on 23/5 and 1x 5BB which is on ice. We know that there have obviously been some issues with conversion into Blast as I was only 27/28 when I froze my eggs. Can’t help but worry that something may be wrong with the 2 we got on this basis but I’m also so grateful that we have atleast got 2 chances which is more than we ever have had.
is anyone else in the 2WW? I have no symptoms at all so far :(

The drop off is so scary, but glad you got to transfer a good embryo this time. Hopefully that means a positive outcome this time. Im not currently in the 2ww but will be starting a cycle in july if all goes to plan.

Good luck @Narlem sending you positive thoughts. I'm due to do a FET in June/possibly July. Have you got some things planned to keep you busy? Seeing friends, going for walks, a new tv series etc xx

I’m 2 days post fresh transfer!

Thank you! I don’t have any symptoms really, sore boobs keep coming and going so must be the progesterone. I do feel a bit crampy on and off but again…only if I think about it so it must be in my head.

Yes my official test day isn’t until next Friday 5th but doubt I’ll wait that long. Travelling to Venice for a city break Friday to Monday but don’t know whether to test on Friday or wait until we get back. Feel like I would rather know if negative on Friday rather than feel worried over the weekend.

oh really! Is this your first FET? X

I felt quite uncomfortable after my egg collection and thought I was developing OHSS but actually all my symptoms are easing so the only real symptoms I have are minor bloating, sore boobs and hunger but I’m honestly just putting that all down to progesterone.

How are you feeling?

Is it weird I keep talking to my stomach asking for it to stick 😂 xx

Aww bless you! Yes the egg collection is heavy I remember being so bloated and uncomfortable afterwards for days. Yeah in the same, boobs are sore on and off, a bit crampy, and hungry too!

Not at all - i have have done the same, I’ve spoke to my belly every day. I’ve never seen a positive test in the whole time we have been trying so I think I’ll scream if I ever do. Just pray with everything this is finally our break. is this your first transfer? Xx

Surprised at the hunger as it’s so hot, but I find I need to eat little and often!

Haha glad I’m not the only one! Sorry you’ve never seen a positive, I’m manifesting this is your time! Yes first ever time doing IVF and first ever transfer

I can’t see anything from photo but honestly don’t stress, implantation may not have even happened yet!

Pregnant4456 · 27/05/2026 19:59

Yes I must admit the photo doesn’t pick it up but in person there is a very very very light pink line. I will try again in the morning ha x
