Wanted to ask how long after a 5-day embryo transfer I might start feeling any pregnancy symptoms. Is it normal if I don't feel any changes by day 7? Does everyone feel symptoms at this point, or is it different for each person? Just a bit anxious about what to expect.

Pregnancy symptoms can vary from person to person, and not everyone will experience them. Some women may start to notice early pregnancy symptoms as early as 6-8 days after embryo transfer, while others may not experience any symptoms until later on. It is important to remember that every woman's body is different. If you are not experiencing any symptoms at this point, it is still early in the process. It is best to wait a little longer and continue to monitor any changes in your body. If you are concerned, you can speak with your healthcare provider for further guidance. In the meantime, make sure you are following any post-embryo transfer instructions provided by your fertility specialist.
