Well girls, ET is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I'm very excited. As far as we know, our 3 embryos are growing strong. We won't know the Grades until we get there tomorrow. It's all pretty unreal! 
The worst will be this 2ww... any advice, Aliann09, or others who went through this dreadful 2ww, on how you survived it and stayed busy, etc.? I'm really worried I will OBSESS...
ICSI GIRL - Where have you been? Did you hear yet or do you have to wait until tomorrow? I have been thinking of you and praying for the GOOD NEWS !!!
I have a bed tray that fits my laptop so I will try and write tomorrow sometime from bed and let everyone know how things went...
STICKY BABY DUST TO ALL!!! WISH ME LUCK!!!

Afraid it's a BFN for me very upset.....lots of emotions......not sure what next at this point --- need to get thru this first and then we'll decide.
Can't talk long as i'll surely turn into a crying mess sitting here at my desk and i just can't deal w/ that this monday morning.......
I'll be back to check in.....just need to get my mind off of this for the moment ---- i've not gotten to the point of not tearing up each time i think about it just yet (i sure hope i GET to that point).....
Thanks for all of your thoughts.....and well wishes.....can't tell you how much it has meant to me
I'll be checking in to follow all of your BFP's!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck to you all

Ellenm,
We are testing on the same day and I am dying at this point. I am convinced that it hasn't worked because I felt nothing up until last night when I had cramps in the night and now a bit this morning. I am 6dp6dt so I figure that it can't be implantation cramps which makes me think it must be AF cramps.
Also, I've had 3 chemical pregnancies so even if it turns out to be positive I am not convinced that it'll actually stick.
I am not trying to sound horribly pessimistic - I am trying to prepare myself for disappointment as it seems this has been my pattern - 5 attempts resulting in 3 chemical pregnancies and 2 bfn.
What symptoms have you felt!

Kellym,
I have had cramping on and off since the transfer. One night it was really bad, but i haven't had that since. It's just every now and then i get a strong cramp for about 30 seconds or so and then it goes away. I have no clue what is going on.
I did IVF once before and got a really low hcg count when i went in to test; it went up a little over the next week, and then it dropped.
I am hoping for no rollercoaster - I'd like either a YES or no. Can't take the emotions. I too am preparing for the worst.
Other than the cramping, I've had no other symptoms, except sore breasts but that is prob the progesterone.
Are you planning on doing any hpts before your clinic test?

Ellen,
I used to do hpts for each cycle but the last couple I stopped. However, since this time I did a 6 day transfer and my clinic isn't having me come to test until the 4th (it seems much longer than most clinics) then I may test on the Friday. I would only test on the Friday and then if it is positive I would test again on Monday just to see if it is still as strong - since that is when it usually has started to drop.
I have no sore boobs this time, only these cramps that started last night. So I am not hopeful. Will you be doing a hpt? If so, when?

ICISI, I am so sorry things did not work out this time around I wish there was something I could say or do that would make you feel better. Just try to remember that you are in our thoughts and prayers and everything happens for a reason if if we can't see it at the time.
Julianna, The 2WW was bad I was fine for about the first week I took the week off of work so I watched a lot of movies and read a cuple of books. I think going back to work helped keep my mind off things a little more just try to be patient I have imbarked on a new 3WW that I have decided is worse.
Kelly and Ellen, Once again I wouldn't read to much into symptoms I had none until about day 7 and the only thing that happened was increased salivation. As far as the crampy that is normal 1 you could still be at impalnatation state that can happen anytime in the first week 2 your body is at the stage that it knows it should be getting ready for a period, even if you are pregnant you can still have symptoms like AF is coming because she wants to 3 cramping also can be your body adjustingting to the implanted fetus remember your uterus is going to start stretching right away!
As for me I called to get my viability U/S scheduled today the soonest I can get in is Sept 18! ARG I can't wait to see 1 how many and 2 that I have something really going on down there. On the brighter side I only have to do 5 more weeks of PIO instead of the previously stated 8 so I am happy about that.

Well, everyone, the ET is over and I'm laying in bed for right now. Not really sure how to feel.
Anyone get BFP with 3dt of 2 6-celled embies? Ours were only 6-celled, so I guess that is Grade 3. I have no clue if I should feel optimistic or worried. I'm just going to try and take it easy and whatever happens, will happen...
ICSI GIRL - Words can't express how sorry I am for you. I hope in time you will feel better and realize there are always other chances. Don't give up Hope!!!
I will post more later today.
Talk to everyone soon.

Just wanted to let you know that I feel for you... I was a crying mess on Thurs. Each time it didn't work out, whether it was a big fat BFN or whether I didn't get to the ET> I was a big mess. So, I do understand what you must be going for. It's been a week since I went to ER and about 4 or 5 days since I heard that I wasn't going to have an ET, and every day is a little better.
