Anyone have an FET recently and in the 2WW?

[Anonymous]

I am and am trying to hold off testing until the blood test on a Friday. I have had 2 fresh transfers that were unsuccessful but never really wanted to test early ... maybe bc I’m having to take meds and shots this time around I feel like I deserve to know sooner!

I tested. First FET was not successful,. I felt like testing helped ease me into the disappointment. I could never have handled finding out from a phone call.

Second FET was successful and I got my first positive 4 days after FET which made those shots much less annoying.

Best wishes whatever you decide. Remember that even if you get a negative, you aren't out till the blood test!

I tested 4 days past transfer and got a negative. I made a promise to myself not to test until the day before the beta because it would drive me nuts. I got a positive the day before the beta so I knew I’d get good news on beta day. The thing about testing too early is that you start to compare the tests and doubt yourself and just stress. I’m all about having an idea how the beta’s going to go, but just test right before.

OP here. Thanks for sharing! I feel like I am so used to disappointment that even if I test early and it’s negative, I’d rather start processing now and if that changes to a positive on Friday it would be a nice surprise.

OP here. So I took 2 tests today and both were BFP. However I thought I’d be a lot more excited. I feel a sense of relief that I didn’t get another negative but I am definitely not like jumping over the moon. Maybe it will after the blood test?

Congrats OP! It will sync in eventually. I'm 2 months today and still feel meh somedays.

The whole process takes some of the joy and happiness. It always felt like the other show would drop. And after the miscarriage it was worse because then it felt like the BFP could be taken away at any time. I was nervous the entire time and really never could enjoy it.

I mention this because I felt like a freak and like something was wrong with me that I had worked so hard to get to this moment of being pregnant and then was not over the moon and singing and telling everyone we knew. But, the journey took some of that whimsy feeling from me. And that is ok. There is nothing wrong with being happy but cautious.

Congrats!!!!!?

Thank you. That's exactly how I feel. I am hoping that if the first ultrasound goes well it will start to feel more real ... and that as it progresses I'll feel happier.
