The two-week wait is an emotional rollercoaster that many of us trying to conceive are familiar with. It’s a period filled with hope, anxiety, excitement, and impatience. During these two weeks, every twinge, craving, or mood swing can send us spiraling into a whirlwind of emotions. It’s a time when every passing day feels like an eternity, and the urge to take multiple pregnancy tests can be overwhelming.
How do you cope with the limbo of the two-week wait? Do you find yourself seeking distractions or diving deep into symptom spotting? Share your experiences, tips, and support with fellow members who understand
Yesterday at 6 days post 5 day transfer, I had a faint positive test that has nearly disappeared this morning. After drinking a lot of water and using the bathroom, could this be a chemical pregnancy? This is my 3rd transfer, with my first resulting in a strong positive test for my son at 7 days post 5 day transfer.
I am currently on my second transfer, after my first resulted in an implantation failure during a medicated cycle. I made a promise to myself to wait as long as possible before testing, as I had early tested before and it was a difficult experience. As of today, I am 7 days past a 5-day embryo transfer and 13 days past my 10,000 iu Pregnyl trigger shot. I did not test out my trigger, so I am unsure of its impact on my current LH tests, which have been close to positive. I understand that LH tests are not pregnancy tests, but I am trying to manage my anticipation without setting myself up for disappointment. I am concerned about the amount of HCG left in my system from the trigger, as I fear the possibility of experiencing a fading positive result.
I am currently 3 days post 5-day transfer from my frozen embryo and I am trying to stay positive and not let my thoughts spiral out of control, but it’s difficult.
Hello, I began experiencing spotting on day 14 after a 5-day FET. Most people report spotting before this time, so I am curious if anyone has experienced a similar situation. Any stories or advice would be appreciated.
Only 8 days left until my clinic test. I’m passing time with crocheting, games, and Netflix in anticipation. 8 more days until a life-changing moment or possible heartbreak - how do you deal with it?
I woke up feeling lightheaded at 6dp5dt. Has anyone else experienced this while using progesterone suppositories? I recently read that these suppositories can increase the risk of clots and cause symptoms like this, so I’m trying not to panic.
For those whose progesterone was over 50, lining was around 9.5 mm, and estradiol was 130+ at transfer, did you have success? If so, when did you first test positive?
Is there anyone in the UK Clinic who is experiencing severe headaches or migraines on 14/02 and needs a transfer?
I got a negative on FRER this morning, unfortunately. This is our 4th FET and our last one brought us our 2-year-old. I had a positive test by this point with our previous pregnancy. I’m trying to stay positive but deep down I feel like it may not be successful.
I experienced a range of emotions when I received a positive result on Sunday but a negative one this morning. This is my first fet and I am feeling anxious after experiencing cramps today. My period is due tomorrow and the test is not scheduled until Thursday. I have researched and discovered it could potentially be a chemical pregnancy. I am unsure if I want to take another test tomorrow after being emotionally shaken this morning.
Feeling anxious about resuming sex after FET. Doctor approved it, but I’m hesitant at 7 days post-transfer. Taking suppositories and feeling unsure. Seeking advice and encouragement to overcome my concerns and resume normal activities.
Our surrogate received a positive HCG blood test result yesterday, along with a “very good progesterone level.” The HCG level was around 150 mLU/mL. The transfer involved a 6-day blastocyst with low mosaic. The blood test was taken 9 days after the transfer. We are wondering about the likelihood of this resulting in a chemical pregnancy with the HCG rising to 150 on day 9. What is the typical or maximum range of HCG levels for a chemical pregnancy? The expected range was between 50-100, but the result was positive. A follow-up blood test is scheduled for tomorrow, on day 11 of the two-week wait, to confirm that the HCG levels are still on the rise.
After the transfer on 2/17, I felt terrible the next day and spent most of it on the couch. Today, I feel better but have a lot of lower abdominal heaviness. Tonight, I started experiencing twinges on both sides of my lower abdomen in various places. Some on the lower right, some on the left. Since it’s only 2 days past a 5-day transfer, I’m trying not to think too much about it, but it does feel different than when I was just on progesterone. I have my first at-home test planned for Monday, which will be 6 days past transfer. Fingers crossed, as it’s my first natural FET and I’m already feeling a bit anxious.
