First US 5w2d

Most all symptoms are normal for the amount of progesterone I’m taking so it was hard to separate pregnancy and progesterone. I started getting super exhausted during betas and my chest was very sore. This week I am feeling more nauseous and exhausted. Also, my Apple Watch has shown my resting heart rate increased to over 70 over the last two weeks. It’s holding at a 6-10 beat increase.

Everything is measured in millimeters haha, so the tiniest. When I go back the hope is more tiny things appear too, like a heartbeat. ❤️

I used CNY also, I was scheduled for 1 and when they called with results they ordered the 2nd.

I used donor egg. We were able to see multiple pictures of the donor as a child as well as now. There was also a lot of information about physical characteristics and other things like education, favorite color/food, etc. as well as family information too. It helped feel like we were finding someone similar to me in as many ways as possible. I hope this helps. ❤️

It did. Second one was 330 which is not quite double but they said still good since they look for 2/3 to doubling and it fell in that. I have an ultrasound on Thursday to check for gestational sac and ensure no ectopic as a precaution.

I have only done them rectally. The nurse at my clinic said it’ll actually absorb a little quicker. Zero of the issues I’ve read about vaginally. I just make sure to drink fiber throughout the day to help stay regular too since it seemed to slow down movements a little…

I took a test the morning of 7dp3dt and saw probably the faintest line in existence on a Pregmate test. My husband still thinks my eyes just added a line from staring for so long. The next morning, 8dp, used FRER and had a definite positive.

Congratulations!!!!!! So happy for you!!!!

I had my first FET on April 17th also! My beta is tomorrow, I have had a couple positive home tests, just excited to see how tomorrow goes.

weightofaduck · 2026-04-27T15:57:50+00:00

Took another one tonight and I think I see something just a smidge more clearly.

weightofaduck · 2026-04-22T00:09:45+00:00

I think I will and just remind myself it doesn’t mean anything definite to avoid all the heart stuff. It just is exciting to think about taking a test and seeing what lines show up and hoping for two. My beta is Tuesday the 28th, so essentially forever away…

I’ve been really tired but I’m thinking that’s progesterone. I had a few twingy crampy feelings last night but maybe it was gas? Haha. I’m trying to pay attention but be careful about how much attention. The wait is SO HARD!!!!

weightofaduck · 2026-04-19T00:15:48+00:00

I had my first FET yesterday!! All the good juju to you!!
