Symptoms or issues during 2WW: none

Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process! The whole process is such a roller-coaster of emotions. We kept thinking that we'd allow ourselves to be a little more excited at the next beta or the next u/s... Once we passed 17 weeks, we really felt like we could let go. I think that more than anything, we just feel so blessed. with so few at the retreival, and only one embie to transfer, it was such a longshot. The only thing I could say is that you're mantra during the process is "have faith".
