Northeastgirl – You and I will be cycle-buddies! You stated your transfer is at 11:15, I assume that is Eastern Time. I am on Pacific Time and my appointment is at 11:45. You’ll probably be home before I even leave for my appointment. You will be in my thoughts and prayers for a smooth transfer!

Krissymexico – Thank you for the words of encouragement!

I’ve prayed (and cried) a lot about this, my last attempt. I am ready for tomorrow and praying that this is “The Cycle”!

Good Luck to everyone with their transfers today! And Happy Easter/Passover!

I have learned from the progesterone shots that if you ice your butt for about 20 - 30 minutes and then directly afterwards, sit on a heating pad, for the same amount of time it isnt as bad. They still hurt, but not as bad. I start mine tonight - my DH is so looking forward to it. He is very sympathetic and feels bad each time he has to stick me.

Good Luck to everyone!

Happy Easter!

NorthEastGirl...Good luck... Today is a special day.

prayingforamiracle...It only takes 1 to become preggo. I was talking to another girl and she said the same thing...she became . Stay strong.

krissymexico...How is everything going? Did you decide on the shots or the other thing? The shots are not too bad. I do notice that progesterone is cutting back my appetite.

Is any one having symptoms?

Good luck today Praying and NorthEast!!!! I hope everything goes smoothly!

How's everyone doing? What a beautiful morning! No symptoms here. I felt a bit nauseated last night, but I'm pretty sure its what I ate!

I hate to complain on such a great morning, but....I opened a new bottle of PIO this am, drew up my dose and called my husband to come administer. Well, as I was putting it back in the box, I dropped it on my tile floor and shattered it! Arrrgggg!!! Only one dose out of it! What a mess. I have another bottle, so its ok, just wish I hadn't been so clumsy. Thanks for listening to me, I'm done complaining.

Hope everyone has a great Easter !

Happy Easter everyone!

Good luck today prayingforamiracle and northeast girl!

Wishing - that stinks about dropping your PIO bottle!

Nascar - I'm not really having any symptoms at all! I had some cramping the day of and the day after the transfer, but that's really all. Nothing much else to report here!

KCFLF - Good luck starting your PIO tonight!

Nbianca - How was your transfer? I hope everything went okay!

As for me, I tested this morning (6dp5dt) and so I'm pretty upset...

I want to join ya'll on this thread. I had FET on April 8th and I'm trying to wait patiently for my BETA on April 20th. My other thread that I joined back in January (for my IVF) has become very quiet. I was going crazy a couple days after the transfer, but had no one to talk to on the other thread. I'm doing better today.

Here's my background, I've had 4 IVF's all failed, and this is my first FET. We only had three to defrost and all survived, but we only transferred two. The one we didn't transfer had lost 1/2 it's cells and the doctor did not think it was going to take. The other two were pretty nice. One had lost a cell, but stayed graded the same and the other gained a cell by the time of the transfer.

I'm so very scared this won't work, but at the same time I'm hoping and praying this works.

Wishing09 - that really sticks about the bottle, but it's great you had another bottle, so you didn't have to stress about getting an order to your house before tomorrow's shot is due.

Nascar - The symptoms I'm having are different from when I did all my fresh cycles and that's why I feel like I'm going crazy. I don't think it's possible to have symptoms this quickly after transfer. I transferred on Wednesday late afternoon. I stayed in bed all night long. I got up and went to work on Thursday, but started feeling nausea and ichy pretty quick. So at lunch I told my boss I wasn't coming back to work. I went home and laid on the couch all afternoon. My nausea didn't lighten, so I skipped lunch until later in the afternoon. I had a great appetite when I did eat though. My breasts have been tender (but they have always been tender with each cycle), I tried to tell my hubby this was a different breast tenderness, but he thinks I'm crazy. On Thursday night I was so flush it wasn't funny. The house temp was 66 degrees and I was flush. On Friday I went to work again and around 11 was really hungry. I told one of my coworkers, man I'm hungry and within 10 to 15 mins I was shaking so bad due to low blood sugar. I couldn't believe it. Then after lunch I was so nauseous and flush again. Yesterday I did bedrest again and the only thing I felt then was nausea (of course the continued breast tenderness). Today not much of anything, but it's still early for the nausea I've been feeling.

NorthEastGirl - Good Luck to day

Prayingforamiracle - I hope things go well with your transfer!!! I know how hard each fail cycle is. I'm getting to the point where, even though the insurance will pay for the cycles, CAN I still go through them. If this one doesn't work for us, we are taking a long break and trying to decide what to do from here. If we do go through anymore cycles I will be changing doctor's. It's very hard planning my life around all these cycles and then not having anything to show for it. As many of you already know, people just don't understand and I'm tired of all their "advice"

Happy Easter everyone!

lots of discomfort

Hey ladies,
Happy Easter. Good Luck to the two who had their transfers today,,,forgive me if Im wrong, I think its Northeast and praying.

I had my transfer on Thursday, so I am now 3dp5dt.
I have been having horrible pain on my left side. At first it felt like a runners stitch but now feels like my ovary, or like I'm ovulating.I'm hoping its implantation. My question is..........
Does anyone know how early an ectopic can be detected?I'm trying to stay positive, but also am in pain! AND A BIT PARANIOD.

Have a good one,,,sticky vibes to all
