Stressball, i didn't get it. Did you get your AF or you think you might get it??? If you have not gotten it yet, then there is still hope. I actually got faint positive on three of the pregnancy tests i took today and one negative on the digital one. I am 8dp3dt. Yesterday it was completely negative yesterday, so you never know.

Hi Guys,
I'm back from bedrest! Wow was that boring. My husband really enforced strict bedrest, I only got up for bathroom, showers & dinner. I'm so glad to be back at work today.
They transferred all 3 embies. Between the acupucture & 10mg valium I slept for the rest of the day after we got back home. We dont have a TV in our bedroom, so I only got to watch TV a few times when I relocated & layed down on the couch.
Vlada, I'm so, so sorry you've been getting neg's on the HPT's, but maybe you're testing too early? I hope so. I'm really pulling for all of us.
Stressball, I think it's way too soon to tell if this worked or not. You may be the one to surprise all of us & end up with a BFP.
KellyM, so is tom still the big day? Best of luck!
Again, it's good to be back.

Stressball, I don't have any symptoms at all either. Which really has me weirded out because every other time I've had cramping, sore boobs, nausea, you name it.
I don't think it hurt you at all to clean yesterday. The jury's still out on the whole bedrest thing. My MD recommends it, so my DH enforces it! I'm lucky enough to work at home, so I just went downstairs & did the dishes. Which made me feel a little better because I get really depressed when my house is dirty.

2ndtimer,
Welcome back!!! I wish you and Stressball to get a BFP!!!! Guys,don't get discouraged or depressed because not everyone has symptoms, i am telling you, my friend didn't have any symptoms at all till she was 8 weeks pregnant, so please please don't give up hope.
I tested with Clear Blue digital test today and after about 30 seconds it said pregnant, now i am freaking out that all 4 embies took :shock: :shock: :shock: or something like that :D

Vlada! It looks like you are pregnant! yippee! I hope you are the start of a trend for the rest of us!

Stressball and 2ndtimer, I think it is way too early to have symptoms. If your embies were going to implant it would have just happened so I don't think you need to worry if you feel nothing! When are you guys going for your pregnancy test?

I am super nervous today - worried that none of my embies will survive the thaw. I guess I'll just have to wait to see what happens tomorrow! My clinic doesn't require any bedrest although I think I'll take the rest of the day off work and hang out on the couch.

Hang in there!!!

Well I am getting ready to head off to the clinic. I am supposed to be there for 9:30 but need to get downstairs and drinks lots so that I arrive with a full bladder!

I hope that the 2ww is going well for everyone - Vlada are you testing on Thursday? Stressball and 2ndtimer, when are you guys testing.

I am looking forward to my afternoon of watching soaps and napping!

Today is our anniversary so my DH is going to pick up thai on his way home and we'll enjoy it in bed!

I'll post later and let you guys know how many I ended up with!

I almost lost it this morning. My DH and I went for a walk with our puppy at 7:30 - trying to kill time before we have to leave for our ET. When we got back there was a voicemail from the lab at the clinic. I almost started crying right then thinking that they were calling me to tell me that none of the embies had made it. My DH and I sat on the edge of our seats while we waited to be connected with the lab only to get the report that ALL 3 SURVIVED!!! I almost started crying from relief!
So, we are leaving shortly to get 'pick up' our embies!!!

Hope you guys are doing well!!!!

Question... I have been on progesterone for 6 days now and have very little symptoms. I thought the progesterone was supposed to mimic pregnancy symptoms? That is what they told me every other cycle when I said I felt pregnant and had all the symptoms only to have them abruptly stop. Why would that be?

Oh god Kelly...I think I can imagine getting a phone call not knowing what happened...well no wonder this whole thing is called emotional rollercoster...are u going to put all three in....now about ur question...I had abolutely no symptoms from proges....I think symptoms are there only during the acutual IVF....since we get a good HCG shot.... during my ivf I had all the symptoms until 4 days to PT...once the hcg shot was out of my body......nothing...mainly boobs were not sore anymore....Last but not the least.....HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.....MAY YOU CELEBRATE YOUR NEXT WITH YOUR BABY...

Hey Vlada,
dont worry it would not be all four...its very very rare.....and wow you must be soooooo anxious now....I dont even know what it feels like to see positive....traet yourself like a queen....7 years of wait...is a long wait...let us know if u are feeling anymore symptoms....and Thurs is just few hours away...

2nd timer..how r u doing???was ur 3 day transfer or 5????

Hello,
Kelly, Good luck with your 2WW now!!! I am using progesterone suppositories and i don't get much symptoms from them, but in the fresh cycle i used shots and my breasts were fuller and hurt more, that was pretty much it.
Stressball, I don't have many symptoms, except AF cramping, but it has gotten a little bit better and yea i agree with you 7 years is a long wait but i was very positive thoughout these years, i don't know why, i guess it is just my personality, i am an optimist all around :lol: :lol: :lol:
So, i took another digital test today ( it became my morning routine :D ) and still showing pregnant, i have one more for tomorrow ( just in case)lol and Thursday here i come!!!!
Oh and another symptom i guess is that my breasts are getting a little bit bigger and my nipples feel wierd, but i have such small breasts, so it is hard for me to tell, i can't wait for them to get bigger :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi Fellow 2wwters,

I am back from the clinic and lying in bed with my laptop - not on me as I've heard the heat from the computer isn't good for the embies! LOL!

They were able to transfer all three of them which is great. Its funny because I am not feeling excited as I have in the past. Maybe because I am being cautiously after 5 failed attempts - who knows. I have never done a FET before the embryos don't look as perfect as they do when they are fresh - as the embryologist explained to us. He said of the three, two were perfect and one was good but slightly slower so we'll see.

Vlada, I am so excited for you! I am hoping that the rest of us can all be celebrating with our bfps just like you.

Stressball and 2ndtimer, will you be doing a hpt? If so, when?

Kelly
