Hi all - I'm new and am hoping this post is appropriate for this sub. Apologies if not!



I'm 5w5d pregnant after a FET following IVF. This is my first time EVER seeing a positive pregnancy test, so I'm excited but also feel like this has opened up a whole new world of nervewracking things to worry about. First ultrasound isn't unti l April 18th. So here are a few questions for all of you veterans:



Are there good ways of figuring our your odds of miscarriage at any given point? I transferred a single PGS tested embryo, graded 5AA. Betas were 60 at 9dp5dt, 424 at 13dp5dt, and 761 at 15dp5dt. (Ugh, but my clinic seemed okay with it.) I feel like I've read posts where people have said "based on what I'm reading, my odds of this being a viable pregnancy are X%." Are there good sources for that? In particular, I feel like I'm having a hard time finding the odds of miscarrying a PGS tested embryo that manages to implant. My clinic says their overall success rate with PGS tested embryos is 65% but presumably a percentage of those just fail to implant entirely?



2) How do you tell you're still pregnant? Progesterone masks a miscarriage, right? My breasts are still sore (and like a nutjob, I keep feeling them to ensure they still are), but I think that's probably caused by the progesterone anyway. No nausea yet, which I hear is normal but which also kind of worries me. Would there be signs if the embryo had already stopped growing?



3) I caught a vicious cold, which seems to have gotten worse over the last couple of days. I've read anecdotally this might not be a bad sign because pregnancy depresses your immune system. But do I need to call my clinic or worry about potential harm to the embryo? No fever. And I'm not taking any cold medicine.



4) How far up do you have to shove the progesterone suppositories? TMI, but I'm not a tampon user and they seem to not want to get that far in there.https://nox.tips/https://xender.vip/
