IVF Donor eggs 3/5 day transfers

[Shazyb]

Has anyone had a pregnancy first time with a 5day transfer? I used a donor this time and transferred 2 blastocyst, started cramping day 2, bloating day 3, hot flush day 4. Transfer was 21/8.

Let's see....cramping, lower back pain, not much appetite, never had any breast soreness (and still don't), no implantation bleeding at all like some women have (though I hear this is pretty common). From all that I've on these forums and elsewhere, symptoms and their severity differ from person to person, so try not to get too wrapped up in that. I definitely understand how that negativity can creep in...sometimes I felt I was not sick enough for it to come up positive, but I really, really tried to push that stuff out of my mind and distract myself until the blood tests. I also promised myself I would not do any HPTs either because I didn't want to stress myself out more if it came up initially negative since I know that false negatives can happen sometimes. I think that was a good choice for me personally. Hang in there, though! It won't be too much longer and you'll know...the next few days are hard to get through....any of us who have been through it really do understand :)

Thanks! and congratulation!!

I test on Friday But wish it further away as I don't feel to confident it's going to be positive. I have good days and bad days, this is a bad! Day, A little negativity is creeping in as symptoms I've had from the beginning are still there and I don't know if that's good or bad.

Can ask what other symptoms did you have?

I came up positive on my first try using my own eggs (though I'm only 7 weeks along so far, so anything could happen). I transferred 2 5-day blasts. I had quite a bit of lower back pain after the transfer--not sure it if was the transfer itself or the progesterone shots. Good luck!

This is my 2nd IVF cycle but first with donor eggs. I also have back pain since day 3 and slight heartburn. On 2/9 I will know, I am just trying to keep positive.

Anniebrooke - were you on a lot of meds before and afterwards, because I'm rattling!!

Sounds like my cycle.  I transferred 2-- 5 day blasts & am pregnant with twins on first try.
For some reason I had MAJOR back pain during my 1 week wait.  I think you will be pregnant too.  Keep me posted.

I had a pregnancy first time with a 5-day transfer.  (I've also had failed cycles with 5-day transfers.)  What did you need to know?
