Hi George
Yes I felt this way on both of my egg retrievals. It was actually painful to go to the washroom for about 2 days after and I was taking extra strength tylenol every 4 hours. It helped.
The wait is unbearable and yet everyone seems to bear it. I am now 11dpt3dt and made it over a big hurdle yesterday. On the previous cycles I never made it past 14 days after hcg trigger and so am now breathing a little easier although BETA is not till tuesday so still have fingers toes and everything else crossed.
Its best to remember to take it easy. I came back to work the day after transfer (it was on a Sunday and I came in on the Monday) but as long as your job isn't stressful I found it good to keep my mind off of the wait at least partially. Indulge yourself, go with the rollercoaster not against it so if you need to cry - cry if you need to stay home stay home. The drugs and their syptoms being the same as AF will drive you a bit bonkers but if you need support just post something everyone here will send you sticky thoughts and pixie dust

abbreviations???
thanx for replying can you explain abbreviatins please
Abbreviations
Hi George its probably best to go to the general forum and look at the list. You'll see its right near the top - look for a posting titled abbreviations. Its a great place to start as there is aquite a list of abbreviations. Here are some to get you started
AF = aunt flow
DH = dearest husband
11dpt2dt = 11 days post transfer on a 3 day transfer (rather than a 5 day blasocyst transfer)
HCG - is the drug to finalize the fertilization of the egg and trigger the final stage to maturity
HPT - home pregnancy test
POAS - pee on a stick (HPT)

My first tomorrow too
I've had many IUI's and am doing my transfer tomorrow
I only had 3 eggs, that are now down to 1 grade C.
I'm remaining hopeful.
I envy those who have 5 or more
