Questions about 5 day transfer 2WW...

[valentine1]

I had my transfer last Monday the 11th March.

So today, I am 7DP5DT...

I have been having AF like cramps on and off since 5DP5DT and I am honestly expecting to see blood everytime I go to the toilet.

I understand that AF like cramps can be signs of implantation and I had it maybe once earlier last week. I'm just wondering if anyone has had this and still gone on to a BFP?

My Test is on Friday the 22nd and I refuse to POAS before then because I like that at this point I can still say I'm PUPO.

I'm still remaining positive, I honestly believe I still have a chance but I was hoping for some realistic insight from others who have experienced the same thing!

IF it were that I was not pregnant when should I expect AF? I took my last Pregnyl injection on Wednesday the 13th...

Any helps would be great, thanks

Hi,
I had a 5DT on Monday 11th too! I thought you start day 1 as the day after transfer so I am 8DP5DT today.
I have also been experiencing AF cramps since 5DPT, & today I started with brown spotting but no red yet. If AF doesn't show I plan on testing on Friday 22nd.
How are you getting on?

You do start day after transfer, I'm in Australia so maybe we're a day ahead here? It's Wednesday the 20 here so 9dp5dt now! Thank goodness

Goodluck! I've read that spotting can be a good sign if it's not red!

I have my blood test on the 22nd. So 2 more sleeps! I'm not testing at home before that, took Pregnyl as progesterone and was told it can take 14 days to get out my system so would probably be positive no matter what!

When's your OTD?

The 2ww hasn't gone as slow as I thought it would. Still having really bad cramping, so bad I feel a bit sick this morning. So that's the 5th day of cramping now. But no blood. Not sure what to think!

How are you going? Xxx

 

[mrsmonkey10]

2 more sleeps that will be gone in no time! I have my fingers crossed for you
Awww not fair you are already a day ahead lol
My OTD isn't until the 29th! Soooo far away, I have no idea why they make us wait that long, & it won't be a blood test I got told to do a normal HPT!
I have mild cramps & really pale brown spotting, no red yet
If only we could see what's going on in there

Haha I really want it to be here but I go back to work next Tuesday after 3 weeks off so part of wants this week to last as well, what a dilemma lol. I also like being PUPO!!!

That is ages, I would probably be doing a HPT early if I were in your shoes! They obviously have good reasons for waiting that long though, I know a lot of girls get to test at 9dp5dt which is today for me so it's funny how much everyone's cycles vary.

I know it would make it so much easier to be able to see what's happening in there!

Fingers crossed this is both of our cycle!!!

I have been off for 2 weeks & go back on Thursday so that will be a tough day :0(
How many blasto's did you have put back? I just had one & didn't get to freeze any.
Is this your 1st IVF cycle?
did you get any spotting or is it just cramps?

So sad going back to work isn't it! Lol!
We just put one back!
We have one frozen blasto.
One is all you need so hopefully you've got a little fighter in there hopefully I do too!
Yep our first one, yours too?
Just cramping, no spotting at all. Really intense cramps when I woke up this morning, I've been running to toilet for the last 4 days thinking AF is here!

 

[mrsmonkey10]

Yep it's our 1st cycle! We almost lost the whole cycle as we didn't realise we had to carry on with the Buserelin injections at the same time as stimulation injections & I almost ovulated naturally! Luckily I managed to get an extra injection just in time & I made it to egg collection.
Aww that's great that you have a frostie on standby! We had 3 blasto's but they said the other 2 would not have survived the freeze/thaw process :0(
Well it's just about bedtime over here so ill catch up with you tomorrow!
I hope the cramps ease off today for you
Bye for now

[valentine1]

Oh no that would have been SO stressful! Thank god you were able to continue!
Bugger but hey hope this one sticks and figure out the rest after for siblings hey
That's what worried me about just having 1, what if doesn't survive the thawing!
Feeling a bit better as day goes on, thanks in part to Panadol too!

Thank you and congratulations!!! I love love love hearing success stories! Hope you're having a smooth pregnancy!
Did you have any symptoms? And what did you use as progesterone support (might be difference with fresh and frozen cycle).

 

[Miss Redknob]

Thanks V I used Pregnyl (HCG x 3 injections) 1DPO, 3DPO & 7DPO. I then tested the trigger out of my system but I had the problem that the line kept getting darker

I had a pretty rough start, was being scanned ever week (due to 8 previous m/cs) then on Christmas Day all my symptoms disappeared so I was in hospital, but luckily bub was still fine. So far I have lost almost 5kgs from being so sick, but I love it

Symptoms were big sore boobs, burping, bloated, tired and hungry.

When are you going to test? Where is Aus are you?

 

[valentine1]

I used Pregnyl too, 4DPO & 7DPO. I heard it gives a false positive so I haven't tested, tried holding off anyway. My blood test is Friday the 22nd, 2 more sleeps! Haha that's awesome!

Wow you've had a rough trot! So glad you're finally getting your long awaited baby! And 5kgs lighter at that

I've been tired and sore boobs but wasn't sure whether to attribute that to pregnyl or not? I've had AF like cramps since Sat so 5DP5DT, but no blood so really hoping it's just cramping and AF doesn't show!!!

I'm in SA, where are you?

Also is Lincoln Robert the name you've chosen? If so, love it!!!

 

[Miss Redknob]

Yeah you will get a false positive and symptoms with the Pregnyl but if you test each morning the line will either get lighter or darker I suppoer if your bloods are on Friday you have done well have you thought about testing Friday morning before your bloods? I had the AF cramps, but AF cramps and pregnancy cramps are very similar

I'm in NSW. Yep Lincoln Robert will be his name

 

[mrsmonkey10]

Miss R thank you for the sucess story & big congratulations to you!
Sounds like you have had the roughest ride to get where you are. I also love the name Lincoln :0)
Good to hear that you also had cramps, did you get any brown spotting too?

Valentine good to hear the cramps are easing off today!
My cramps aren't here this morning & not much spotting so far, I haven't got a clue what's going on here lol
Xx

 

[Miss Redknob]

Thanks Mrs Monkey I had brown spotting till about 8-9 weeks!! When I saw it at 4-5 weeks I thought it was all over, but now look where I am lol

 

[valentine1]

I probably should have tested out the trigger! Oh well too late now! I don't think I can test the morning of, if it's negative I'll be beside myself for the bloods. Plus another half a day of PUPO will be good
Ooh I hope mine are pregnancy cramps, fingers crossed!

Well it's a beautiful name, very good choice

Mrs Monkey - they came back pretty strong this Arvo, sooo hoping their pregnancy cramps.
It's so confusing when everything changes! Spotting could definitely be implantation and its easing off, that would be so great! About to go to bed here so when I wake up only one day and night to get through and then bloods at 730am The next morning! Going to try and start and finish my assignment that's due Friday so if its good news on Friday we can celebrate and if its bad news I can curl up and grieve in bed!

 

[mrsmonkey10]

Wow it's going really fast for you!
How long do you have to wait for the call back with your results?
That's a good idea to clear your day, I have my fingers & toes crossed that you will be using it to celebrate :0)
I'm going to test on Friday too if AF stays away

Miss R you had brown spotting & cramps! You have given me a little bit of hope that I'm still in with a chance thank you so much

Xx

 

[valentine1]

Well I had my bloods this morning!
I did it at the non main site so probably won't hear til mid arvo argh!
Bit stressed, I went to the toilet about 3am and clearly studied the toilet paper (as you do) haha! And there was the tiniest, minisculist bit of blood, like tiny tiny tiny. But it was reddish and I'm SO worried it's AF!!! There's been nothing since then and I know I find out today but it's made me feel really negative and unfortunately I think we're out this cycle!

Are you still going to test Friday? Has AF stayed away for you? I really hope so!!!
Let me know how you go
Xx

Got everything crossed for you V
