Name: Joanna

How many days between ER and ET: 5
How many and quality/rating of embryos/blasts transferred: 2 blast transferred, 2 blasts frozen, don't know quality/rating
Symptoms or issues during 2WW: lost my appetite completely, had mild ohss so I was very bloated and crampy
What day you got your BFP: 7dp5dt
HPT before blood test: yes of course, I did HPT the day before beta and it came back neg I was devastated

Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process! I wish I would have had a little more detail about the ivf process. I guess I'm glad they didn't tell me about the PIO injections I would have to do for 5 & 1/2 weeks. I always thought that if I could just get pregnant that I would be fine but I had no idea the worrying I would do after BFP. Good luck to all your ladies TTC. Hang in there, it will happen for you too.
