Angela, thanks for replying and making me feel better.

How many days past a 5 day transfer did you do an hpt?

My beta is scheduled for Thurs 1/14. My ET was on 1/4. I still haven't had the courage to do an hpt. Just wanted to know when you guys tested after a 5 day blastocyst transfer? I might just wait it out till the beta. Did any of you ever wait it out till the beta or am I just a big chicken!?

Cramping after ET and freaking out!

I had my Embryo transfer on 1/4. We transferred two grade A day 5 blastocysts. I had some cramping on the next day and then nothing at all and then more cramping on and off for a few days as if AF was coming. Now I get very very mild cramps from time to time. I am worried that something is going ...

Thank you ladies. Your replies gave me a bit of relief. Any reason why they put us on it? I read somewhere that it is to prevent your immune system from attacking the embies. I am also on a very low dose of 0.5 mg..btw congrats to both of you on your recent bfps :)
