Hi Jen
So sorry to hear your news, I don't post often but always check to see how everyone is doing and I was really hoping it was going to be your turn. I know exactly how awful it is when AF turns up early, it happened to me on my first IVF treatment last month and it really is soooo gutting.
Take care and thinking of you

O jen -I'm So sorry for you. I REALLY feel for you. And TOTALLY know how you are feeling. That feeling of AF arriving is just devastating. You so deserved it to happen - you have been such a good friend to me and if theres anything I can do - PLEASE let me know.
Get very drunk, and hit the gym tomorrow (if you feel up to it)
I am thinking of you

hello everyone
I am very tired and about to go to bed but I have just been reading through your posts. I just can't keep up.
I am now over on the 2ww board but always check this one.
Staci, good luck and keep calm during the 2ww. I actually went back to work the same day as ET, as I work at home, sitting down so i don't think it makes any difference.
I have no symptoms now and have no idea how to feel
Good luck to everyone here and hope to see you soon on the 2ww board
i am just considering testing a day early but I am not sure how accurate the results would be and could that make it worse?
Love Tania

Caz,
I'm feeling quite normal at this point...which scares me! Stomach has shrunk down to just about normal, no sore boobs, nothing. I've had slight stomach cramps off and on but that is about it. I'm wondering if the pessaries I'm taking are actually doing anything. I was on the IM injections up until the ET then they let me switch to the pessaries but my dose is considerably smaller than yours was. They only have me taking 2 200 mg. capsules; one in the morning and one at night.
I'm starting to feel already that this didn't work and I'm only Day 3!
I'm also going absolutely crazy trying to take it easy. I'm not a sitting around type of person. I've watched movies, read books, spent too much shopping online. Now what?!
How did you stay sane during this time frame?!

You sound exactly the same as me. I had the same feelings post ET.
I now only (only?) have 4 days to go to the test and I have serious AF pains and I am so sure it is coming.
I am trying to find out if people with AF pains just days before a test actually got a BFP.
I don't hold much hope. But for you I think it is much too early to tell. Things will probably change backwards and forwards for the next week or so.
good luck
Tania

Hi Staci
Dont worry about the amount of pessaries I was on same as you.
After 4 treatments I got really used to sitting around watching crap television,but as you might have read I was in agony during my 2ww due to a infection on my right ovary but I had no pg signs just veiny boobs.
Wishing you a speedy 2 weeks
Love Gemxx

O this process is SO grim isnt it - I totally sympathise
I had AF like cramps all the way through the first week - thats when I upped to 3 pessaries a day
On about day 10 I started to get a really uncomfortable bloated feeling (not really like AF pains) - but I'm the only person I've heard of getting that (although I think Dagny did too). NO other symptoms. Boobs a bit bigger and sorer , maybe , but NO different to pre AF - and I dont think they looked that different from normal. No sickness, no tiredness (well a bit but I think that was the stress), usual pre AF spots. AS I say the only distinguishing thing was this tummy bloat - and as I say I dont think that that typical.
Soooo much luck to all of you on the 2ww
I am now completely terrified its all over and am convinced I've just had a false start

Traci,
Glad you're doing well. It sounds like you have lots of projects to keep your mind off things!
I have taken it easy for as long I possibly can without going crazy. Today I walked on the the treadmill....nothing major; just 3 measly miles. Tomorrow I'll probably do a little more exercise, some shopping, etc. I've read a lot on this matter and the general concensus seems to be that there's not much you can do to influence things one way or the other after the first 24-48 hours or so. Either the embryo is going to make it or its not and it just causes women unnecessary stress trying to sit around doing nothing at a time when they are probably better off staying active to keep their mind off things. My clinic gives me this whole "we wouldn't want you doing anything you would regret if you get a negative" routine. I guess their solution is that I should just do absolutely nothing. Anyway, if I do get a negative, I'm certain it's not going to be due to light exercise, running errands, etc. If that were the case, there would be very few women in the world who ever got pregnant!
Hope everyone else is having a good weekend!

Okay, I know that one of my early posts stated I wasn't going to do a HPG and, here it is, only 5 days into my 2 ww, and I bought a 2 pack and used one of them. I guess I convinced myself that, if I did one now, at least I could make sure the HCG from the trigger shot was out of my system. That way, if I tested a few days before my test date and got a +tive, then at least I'd know it was for real. At least, that was my rationale when I bought the tests. Since I had to wait 5 days from the EC to the transfer, I figured that the HCG from the shot should be gone now so figured the test was a way to make sure.
The problem is the test was a solid negative. I mean I guess that's what I expected it should be but it was very difficult looking at that negative test. It kind of made it really hit home that I might be looking at that same negative result a week from now. Does a negative at this point mean things don't look good? My transfer was on Tues. Or, would anyone get a negative this early on?
Now, I have worked myself into a frenzy. I should have taken my own advice and not tested
