Hi Crunchy...

I had my ET the Friday before and felt quite low the first couple of days as I had cramps like AF. However come the Tuesday they had subsided so it must have been from the ER or maybe a touch of OHSS.

Apart from that I have found that wearing tight underwear/clothes around my middle is really uncomfortable. I wore my 'Bridget Jones' on Thursday, cramped all afternoon and panicked only to find when I took them off I felt better instantly! (I had got home by the way... :wink: )

I have also felt incredibly tired, I expect from the emotion of it so make sure you take it easy. I went back to work on Thursday but slept Thurs and Fri when I got home and have napped yesterday and today.

In terms of positive signs I'm not sure as this is my first attempt. I have been advised not to test early as the trigger shot can give you a false positive.

Best of luck, hope the 2ww isn't too long for you, I must admit it is taking forever but fingers crossed it will be worth it :lol:

Hi Ladies,

I hope I can join you! I haven't yet had my ET but it is happening on Tuesday so i'll be able to share part of the 2ww with you.
I've been through many 2wws - 2 of which results in a positive beta (chemical pregnancies). To be honest, there wasn't much of a difference between the postive cycles and the negatives cycles. It is a tough 2ww but much more bearable when sharing it with others!

Hope you are both doing well!

Hi Kellym, hope all goes well for your ET tomorrow, how many are you hoping to transfer?

Thanks for your message crunchy, DH and I had long discussions and decided that we didn't want twins. They did ask again if we wanted to transfer 2 as the quality of the 7 we had wasn't great. We decided to stick to one though, I hope we made the right decision...

How are you feeling? I've got some very low cramps but they are not like AF as they really are right down the bottom and not higher up. Still getting waves of nausea, more today and hope this is a good sign not just side effects to the progesterone and tabets?! I have been pregnant twice before and didn't have any symptoms but then they resulted in early m/c so who knows?!

Went to work today and was so glad of the distraction as this 2ww is doing my head in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to have some company on the way :lol:
