5dp5dt

Hi ladies I am currently 5dp5dt this is my first ivf cycle and I’m really nervous and overthinking everything
I have started to get cramps, lower backache, sore boobs etc it actually feels like my period is about to start I’m so nervous and don’t know what all these symptoms mean as I am also on progesterone suppositories

Has anyone experienced these kind of symptoms also and everything was okay?

It had it on all my transfers, progesterone can cause all of those symptoms

I’m the exact same day as you 5dp5dt and I feel nothing, so I guess everyone really is different. With our first transfer I felt everything and felt miserable and pain. It sadly ended at 5w1d.

I’m 6 days post transfer and starting getting back and uterus cramps 2 days ago. They are only getting worse now. So bloated.

I had 2 FETs and had the exact same symptoms both times. Symptoms my period was coming. 1 was unsuccessful one was successful. It is so hard to not read in to every symptom. 🤞

I had three transfers, two fresh and one frozen. I experienced similar symptoms with all three (two fresh were unsuccessful but frozen was successful). I know it can be very hard to not look at every symptom as a sign it is going one way or the other but as other people have pointed out, progesterone causes a lot of the same symptoms. I would focus on how you are feeling mentally and less so on the physical. My first two transfers I spent so much time overanalyzing every twinge and my third (as it was my only embryo left) I just told myself I have done all I can in this process and this embryo will do what it is meant to do and so she did. IVF is such a mental drain it can take a while to get there but I also started therapy when going through this which I think helped along with having this tremendous community of women to lean on. I wouldn't count yourself out and trust your body and embryo, they will know what to do ❤️ if you ever need someone to talk to my door is always open 🙂

Thank you girls for your comments
I’m still getting the same symptoms now also some leg aches I started to get some brown discharge the night of my 5dp5dt that just stopped today 7dp5dt, hoping it wasn’t anything bad 🤞🏽 my beta is on Thursday so just three more days

I had 'period' symptoms. Even cried in the middle of a meal in a fancy restaurant because i thought I was out. Currently 34 weeks pregnant with my boy! Good luck hun, just breathe xx

May I ask what day you tested positive?

@Chi I tested on day 12dp5dt rather than the day 14 they told me to. Just because I thought I was starting my period and wanted to get it over and done with (i was honestly so sure it would be negative). I hadn't tested before that though so don't know when I would have had it show up positive, I wasn't an every day tester x

thank you for sharing I’m praying I am still in the game. I’m 5dp5dt and it was negative this morning. It’s my second fet.

still very early days just yet. Stay positive and try to spend some time relaxing 🤍 x

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Help pls

I'm 7 weeks pp. Not had sex or even done anything but my tests have come back positive. I wouldnt test but had symptoms of pregnancy so I tested. What does this mean? Google says it should have been negative at this stage unless its a new pregnancy or bits of placenta has been left behind. I had a c section so 🤷‍♀️

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?
