Thanks ladies!!!

Tia, I thinking of sending her a gift certificate.

Did anyone have any symptoms after transfer? Anything slight- like mild cramping on and off?
I had some yesterday and this am, very mild, I'm hoping it was implantation.


Kristen, I'm praying for you.

Goodmorning ladies,

Kat- sorry to hear about no snowbabies, you'll see you wont need them. Sending many your way. You also asked about symptoms, yesterday I also had some very mild cramp feelings in my pelvis, but it might be in our minds.

Have we heard anything about Kristen?

Birgit-good luck to you on your trnasfer coming up soon.

Tia-how exciting you'll have your u/s very very soon

If I missed everyone, sorry. The list is great and very up to date. Thanks.

Barb

Hi Barbara thanks for the vibes. sending tons of vibes your way.
How are you dealing with the 2ww?

I'm sorry about the frosties too. My transfer was done at Presbyterian hospital, according to the Embryologist and my RE- the grading scale there is very strict, therefore, if they are not perfect, they don't freeze them (maybe they're too strict) I'm trying to get over it, I was counting on frosties as back up. I know that even poor quality eggs can produce a healthy baby. But, I do know that God is watching over my babies... and your right I won't need a backup.

Kat,

So far so good-hoping time flies. I've been on bedrest for two days now and my behind is sore. My husband is super paranoid and doesn't want me to get up, only to go the potty. Even my girls are asking that I stay home the rest of the week. I would go crazy. Tomorrow I'll be back at work.Luckily my job is pretty sedentary. At least they are watching over me and I want to make sure I don't do anything I might regret later. Many many to both of us.

You have 7 days to go for your beta, I have 8!!!!

Kat - I had cramping starting about 1 day after the transfer. It wasn't bad, just noticable. At first I think I attributed it to the transfer itself, but as time went on it was definitely the pregnancy. And I'm sorry you don't have any frosties, but let me pass on that I didn't either and still got pregnant. As other old-timers here can attest, I actually started out with a great cycle (donor had 23 eggs retrieved) to a bummer cycle (the embryos developed incredibly poorly and only 2 made it to early blast and none left to freeze) to a successful cycle (one bean growing away here). So really you should focus on the two great little guys growing in you right now. It's true what they say - it only takes one! Good luck with the remaining days of your 2ww!

Oh Bethany, thanks so much! Your story is a great inspiration for me. I think the cramping is a positive sign too.
