Hi I am 3 days post transfer of a 5 day transfer...I am very nervous......this is my second IVF, my first one was a BFN...I am feeling very different then last time, I am hoping thats a good thing

We transfered 2 grade A embryos.

ON day 2 post transfer, I got very sick that morning.....and I have had super bad cramps since, my nurse says thats a good sign but I feel like I am getting my period........but its early...I dont know what to think anymore.....

I think I am going to do a HPT on monday?

Hi gals As of tomorrow I will be in the two week wait as well. Transfer is at 10:30 (pacific time)! We went in yesterday because we thought it would be a 3dt but RE decided to wait. Im very nervous as well.

Hoping this will end with a big BFP for all of us!

Tanisha - Everyone is different when it comes to symptoms. Some girls feel them immediately and some don't ever. I know ive been feeling them and I havent even had transfer yet! Its just all the hormones Ive been pumping through my body the last couple of weeks. LOL..
I hope you start to feel better about this time around. I have been down after my FET last July that ended in a chemical pregnancy. It has been very hard and I know those feelings are going to kick in as soon as I have transfer tomorrow but I just got to stay strong and give them a chance without any negative feelings. It can and will work for you!! So how many embies did you transfer?

GreenMomma - I also think that is a good sign you are feeling cramps so early on. It would be way to early for af to come right? You are very brave to do a hpt this early. I started poas on my last fet 4 days past tranfer so your my kind of gal!! haha... The hubby thought I was crazy. Well.. I sort of was. Anyways just remember if you do on Monday not to get bummed about it if your bfp doesn't show. It's still early. I know in a couple of days you'll be telling me the same thing!!

I am staying away from the HPT kits - they are only going to make me more nervous.

anyway just wanted to let u ladies know that i am from South Africa- this site is very informative.

well i am a poor responder , so dont stimulate very well- I have been on angonist (my worst cycle ever) and antagonist with menopur - only produced 5 follies , 2 empty but the other 3 reached 8 cell by day3 so we transferred all.

what about you ladies- from your signatures you doing very well with stimms( very lucky)

Crossing fingers for all of us.

I feel your emotions right now...mine are crazy....I didnt feel anything on transfer day or the day after but day 2 and 3, I had major cramps, sick to my stomach, bloated........now today not cramps......just a few twinges and my boobs hurt now......but everything could be from PIO shots?

I dont know how I am going to make it another week and half?


I pray that we all are right at this moment!

Good Luck to you and

Hi ladies I am in the 2ww too. I am 2dp 3dt. I did FET this time as my fresh cycle in July ended in a loss.

tanisha - don't worry if you are not feeling anything right now. Your little embies should be getting ready to start burrowing in! South Africa is supposed to be AMAZING. I plan to travel there some day.

The funny thing is that we all know the progesterone causes most of the symptoms but we still analyze like crazy. I am going to try to ignor everything but implantation spotting. I had a tiny spot of blood 9 or 10dpo with my bfp.

Good luck to all of you. I plan to POAS but not daily and obsessively like I did last time

Waiting Game

Hello ladies! Well Im 2dp3dt and I am feeling absoulutely nothing! I have been crampy, swollen, sore and tired since the ER. The am of my ET was the worst. I wanted to cry. My cramps were so bad. And now today I woke up and I feel like a million bucks! Shouldnt I be feeling something?

I honestly thought i would be able to handle the 2ww with no problem because lets face it...IVF is a big waiting game! You wait for your initial appt. Then you wait while you complete all the NUMEROUS tests and get their outcomes. And then it the DHs turn. And then you get your "course of action". And then you wait to start AF to start all your meds. And then you wait to start more meds...and more...and more. And then you wait for your ovaries to produce what you hope are champion follicles and eggs and then you wait for your RE to say its time and then you wait to hear just how many, how big, how mature....And then you finally get to your transfer and then its wait for your pregtest.

I think the reason it sucks is because theres nothing going on during the2ww but waiting! No tests, no appts, no med changes, nothing. Just waiting!! Waiting. Wondering. Hoping. Praying...

Its gonna be a challenge not to pee on a stick everyday.Ive been a cool cucumber this whole time, but not anymore. And I actual want to feel like crap so I know my body is doing something!

Hi Julie, it looks like we are at the exact same point in our wait!!!! Whats wrong with POASing everyday? lol. Actually if you are planning on doing so I would suggest testing out your trigger! I am not testing out the trigger this time as I took the same dose as last time and I know how many days it took my body to metabolize the HCG. BTW I have a GSD too. Aren't they great!!! Best of luck to you!!!

GreenMomma, thanks for your reply.
I have none to freeze as well, and this is the second round I'm doing fresh. I hope I won't need a third.

Hello everyone.... I just had my ET this morning. Since this being my 1st IVF I don't have anything to compare it to. We transfered 2 beautiful blast and froze the remaining 4 blast. I'm a little scared to make a sudden movements. Hubby been great! Waiting on me had & feet. I do my beta tests 9/27 & 9/29. This waiting is will be hellish. Take care everyone & to you all.
