Advice for those going through FET now: You don't need symptoms to be pregnant! I was sure that it didn't work, but it did. You also don't need to have a chipper, happy, positive attitude either. I was so sure that this cycle wouldn't work because we had just come out of a failed FET cycle with the same protocol, but to our surprise.. it did work! After the transfer I TRULY rested for 48 hours. I only got up to use the bathroom (no showers). I also ate pineapple (esepcially the core) in those 2 days and laid on my left side. I seriously stayed in bed in laying position (last time I had been up sitting on the computer). Just get a bunch of DVDs and have fun! I prayed to St. Gerard and brought a little one of his medallions to my transfer as well.
