Stressing between FET and beta

blaf322 · February 2016

Hi!
I had my FET on 1/29/16 so I'm 3dp5dt as of this morning and I'm freaking out a little because I don't feel any symptoms of implantation/pregnancy... At all. I tried not to get my hopes up too much in case it doesn't work out but I've obviously failed. 2 questions:
-how long until you felt symptoms after FET
-Does PGD/PGS affect how quickly the embryo implants? I am a carrier for a genetic disorder so, because of the PGD/PGS there was a 2 month break between retrieval and transfer. Just wondering how that affects things.

thanks in advance for tolerating my hormonal craziness

**BFP mentioned***

I didn't do IVF, but I had absolutely no symptoms the month of my BFP: zero. I had sore boobs, but I had those every 2ww on progesterone, so that doesn't count.

The vast majority of people don't experience pregnancy symptoms until a week or 3 after their BFP. Mine didn't show up until about 2.5 weeks after my BFP (14dpo), and I even had a very high HCG level. I had AF-like cramping in the evening at 12 and 13dpo. I guess that would actually be considered a symptom, but people get that before AF too.

For your own sanity, and we all know how difficult it is, do not look for symptoms and try to discredit any that pop up.

Best of luck to you! I'm really hoping you get your BFP.

Thank you SO much for the response! That makes me feel a lot better. Everything I'm reading is talking about all these symptoms others have and it's so stressful! You've made tonight so much better

I'm glad I could make you feel better. It's definitely difficult, and I can only imagine so much harder during the IVF/FET 2ww. But, sometimes reading into symptoms or lack of symptoms can only make things worse. I'm definitely guilty about it and many times I swore off symptom-spotting only to experience a new "symptom" I never had before. The 2WW just sucks, period. Hopefully yours ends with a happy ending!

**********BFP Warning*************

I transferred one on 1/27 and I'm getting BFNs. I'm starting to worry because the last time I got a BFP 5dp5dt but I transferred two. My nurse said it was still very early to get a positive on an HPT. FX and GL

I got my first one yesterday. We transferred one 4BB and I'm 6dp6dt. My embryo was frozen after my 2012 ET. My only symptom is that I'm tired but I've been pretty inactive since transfer.

Hi!
Try not to look for symptoms, I had so many symptoms due to the oestrogen and later the progesterone (I was nauseous even before my FET) and I got a BFN.
I reacted on the medication badly, and tried not to get my hopes up too much.
So having symptoms or not having any doesn't predict the outcome at all.
It will take a little time before you react on the HCG levels, and some women never react on it.
So don't stress about it, or at least try not to (I know the trying part is already difficult), your day will be so much better if you manage to put that behind you.

Best of luck, I'll keep my fingers crossed for that BFP!

*BFP mentioned*

A frozen transfer can take an extra day to implant. I don't think genetic testing would affect that. I didn't really have symptoms until 6 weeks pregnant. And even then it wa just mild food aversion, nothing else really... so definitely don't over think it. Best of luck!!

Congrats @Gr8te I'm still debating whether I should test early or wait till my beta on Monday. Did you test with morning urine? This wait is soo hard!!

Didn't have any symptoms either so don't worry! I assume you're on progesterone so it's nearly impossible to tell if any potential "symptoms" aren't just the medication. And don't worry if you get cramps later on, that was the only thing I felt all throughout my first trimester as a symptom. The TWW is for sure the hardest part, I recommend binge watching TV and getting one of those cute adult coloring books to relax

. Best of luck!

Child mentioned.............

HaveHope&Faith, my BFP was in the afternoon. They all have been faint and I'm starting to worry. The last time my tests continued to get darker each day and I ended up being pregnant with my son and one empty sac. I probably shouldn't test because I obsess over the lines. I just called my clinic and they said it's still early and it doesn't surprise them my lines aren't dark but that doesn't put my mind at ease. GL to you.

So...I had my fet 2/1. Today is 3dp5dt and I'm going nuts. I had a natural cycle fet. In November I had a fresh cycle that resulted in a chemical pregnacy. Even with all the hormones for the retrieval last time i have more "pregnancy" symptoms this time. I am using Crinone once a day in the evening and lovenox nothing else. I know the progesterone could be the cause but last time i was on the pio injections and didnt get any symptoms. Today I've been extremely nauseous if i dont keep a little something in my stomach and extremely tired. I've googled enough to know its probably the Crinone but i cant help but wonder if just one supp. at night can make me feel this nauseaus.
