Good Luck and fingers crossed for a BFP!

I am on a FET cycle and should have mine put back in the next week. Did you manage to get any frozen embies out of your first cycle? Hopefully you wont need them unless you are looking for a brother or sister for these embies.

How are you handling your two week wait? Bed rest, time off work or just usual activities.

Sending you lots of PMA and baby dust.

Thanks for the fingers crossed. I've had mine crossed since Saturday. I think im getting a wee bit of a cramp.
I had 6 frozen. I hope I dont need them but if I do, at least that would be more affordable if I had too.
As far as how I am spending my time these next two weeks, well, I have a scheduled vacation that I have decided to keep. I am traveling with a close friend and my father to Seattle/Alaska for a week and am thinking the beautiful scenic view will ease my mind a bit. I took the first two days off and rested a bit. Very little activity, on my third day I took myself to a Cubs game and really felt relaxed even though there were 36 thousand people there.
Its hard to stay positive without getting hopes up. Where is that line, and how do I know if I cross it? I have had a textbook IVF case to date and it really makes you think(stupidly) that you are gonna get pregnant first time out.. But, I am focusing on staying realistic and letting what will be...be...

Best wishes to you...Keep me posted

Kellye,

Just wanted to wish you good luck. I just had my 2ww the beginning of April and i found that distraction was the key to getting through it. So good for you for going to a baseball game and going on vacation. Now your test day will be here before you know it!!

Hi Kellye,

I am also on my 2ww after a transfer on April 29th! I think we're on the same schedule! I ALSO had 6 embies frozen! When do you test? Mine is May 8th. How are you feeling? Have you had any cramps or bloating? I haven't so much. I'm a little worried since I had a lot last time. It was a BFN though so maybe it's a good sign that I'm not feeling much! I am starting to feel a little sad though, like it didn't work, since I'm not feeling any different (with the exception of on the verge of crying every minute!)

Good Luck Kelly. The 2WW is a nightmare but as everyone says keep yourself busy. I test drove a new car and had a lovely facial!

Excellent news Lisa. Must be so great that tiny little heart beat.

pretty sure AF is near. Figures, the first time she actually shows up when due is the one time i dont want her here. Like most on this message board I broke down and did a HPT and it was negative. Yea, bad move. Put me in a cruddy mood and brought me down off of this cloud of optimisim i've been on. i go in for my actual test on tuesday, will let the doctor tell me "officially" then....

guess i will let my body enjoy the next month off from shots and schedule my frozen retrieval for sometime in July...i have a week left on vacation(alaska) and am determined to let the glaciers and mountains soothe me..

until then, my DP is being amazing about all of this and i guess that is comforting...although, everywhere i look there are pregnant women..and that is a wee difficult....its kinda like when you buy a new car and all of a sudden you see that type of car everywhere...

i do have some leftover gonal f and repronex if anyone needs them..with having some frozen embies, i wont be needing that stuff for awhile...

good luck to all those with test dates in may...
