anyone with IVF & FET experience & symptoms?

[kmern73]

Had my first IVF cycle & FET 10/23. The hormones we take can mimic some of the pregnancy symptoms.  Can anyone share their own experience with symptoms after embryo transfer?

Thank you for your input. I'm glad to hear some similar experiences.  In reading about different experiences from different women,  it can get confusing. Before this I've never been pregnant.  And being a nurse, I know the hormones can mimic them too. I'm glad I'm not the only one with hot flashes. ..I'm hot natured but OMG....I sweat at the drop of a hat now! I've also had the cramping as well. Mild & consistent since the day after FET. It's nice to talk with people who understand.  Thanks again!

Thank you for your input. I've been having similar symptoms.  And you're so right.....waiting for the pregnancy test is so hard...but I'm trying to relax and not think about it....

Same here, symptoms were the same as PMS when I got pregnant. I was also on progesterone shots for the first 12 weeks. I also had something like hot flashes day and night off and on. One thing that was different was I normally only have cramping a couple days for pms but when I got pregnant I had cramping almost every day for the first week and a half.

I went thru two cycles, misc. The first time at 7 wks, I am now 32 wks and 3 days with a baby girl from the second :) My symptoms mimicked PMS in the beginning both times. The waiting game for the hcg level was the hardest, but try to stay busy and not stress over it.  With this preg. I had two days when I was 8 wks that I had bright red bleeding, pain, and clots I was so sure I misc. Again that I told my husband I wasn't going to take my hormone meds. He talked me into taking them for two more days until I saw the Dr. I'm glad I did because I didn't misc. And due Dec. 21st !!
