They are perfect! we are SO happy today. My RE also said we could transfer only one, but we are going to transfer two. He asked if we know that we could end up with twins, and I told him that DH and I have discussed that and we are not "trying" to have twins, just one, but twins would be a surprised blessing. So he will transfer 2 for us . So this also means.... dundadunda... we get the 5 day transfer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh that is good news. Glad to hear it.

The doc said we also should have some to put on ice he just wasn't sure how many yet. They'll let us know later to see how many make it. I"m excited but trying not to be too excited. I want to optomistic but yet realistic. Anyway, now I'm settled here on the couch with everything I might need next to me. DH said "he's my slave for the day". Doesn't sound too bad if you ask me

Woo hoo - you're PUPO! That's fantastic that they are such excellent quality too. Much to you!!!

Hello Gus. I'm sorry to hear about Caty's cramping and pain. I do not have personal experience re: transfers yet, but I found this other thread that I thought you might find helpful: Cramping after transfer

I hope Caty feels better very soon! Best wishes to you both!!

Hi guys, hope you dont mind me peeking in again. I have seven days to go after today and the wait is killing me. My cramping has not let up, and Im really trying to resist the thought that it means anything.

How is everybody doing? anybody near the end of their wait getting "symptoms?"

Hi Gus I had cramping but no abdominal pain. I have had some twinges in my ovaries. If the pain is too bad I would call the RE. I hope she is feeling better soon.

Back for Round #2

We're back from our cancelled cycle in April/May. We cancelled that cycle due to low stimulation, and we're hoping to get as many embryos as possible since we have to do PGD, which should identify which ones can be transferred.

This round is looking a little better than last time. E2 is looking better after 3 days of stims, than it did after 4 days last time. We'll get a sono check on Monday.

Hey Gus, I have spoke to ladies on other boards and they all have experienced cramping... this is common around implantation time 6 to 8 days after retrieval... doesn't really matter if it is a 3 day or a 5 day transfer... if the pain is to great please call your RE that is what he is there for.... I wouldn't want it to be OHSS... don't really know all her symtoms...
