Shelley--I know, the waiting is HORRIBLE. Plus, everything that I did worried me. Then, I would get a tinge here or there and think that I was losing the embryo. Crazy thoughts, I know, but it's what happens during such times! I totally know about the caffeine and potato chip thing. However, I have lost ~8 pounds from my heaviest since starting to watch my diet more, so that IS a nice little plus--in addition to hopefully having a healthy baby!

We did a 5 day transfer. That's what they advised. I know, it's a gamble either way. It's so hard to know. At 5 days, the embryos that have made it have a really good chance of implanting, so that's a good argument for a 5 day transfer. Try not to worry about that now--I know, easier said than done, but try to put that out of your head. I'll bet that a 5 day transfer was a really good bet. Who knows--you may have plenty of siblings for your baby(ies)!

Be sure to let us know how your Beta goes. I will for your !
