Embryo Split!!

Post by nessie »

Hi

Just wondered if it matters as to how many times the emby has split before ET?

I have not posted on here before but have always read most of the threads and you all sound so nice. This is my second go, my first one l do not really count although l went all the way with ET but the day before my grandad died so as well as being upset alot l was really looking after my gran more then anyhing.

I am now on my second go and ET was last Friday l was alot happier but now being at home all week on my own alot of things keep going through my mind and everytime l get a tummy ache l start worrying more. My dh is wonderful although he wants me to just lie there all week and not do a thing (yes it does sound wonderful) but l have become worried about just getting up even!!!

Has anyone got any advice please as to what you do whilst on your 2ww?

I'm sorry if l sound really pathetic.

Thanks alot
Nessie

hi nessie,dont be worried about getting up and about,i had 2 embies transferred yesterday and i asked the clinic if there was anything to do or not do,they said to carry on as normal as long as you feel comfortable,they said just potter about,i have had my dogs out for a walk yesterday,and brushed the floor and polished,no hoovering though nothing heavy,just light duties for me,
re the embies dividing,i know after 4 days they should be 8 cell,which mine were,but i know of ladies who have had less cells tranfered and still got pregnant,i think its all down to luck at the end of the day,just do what feels right to you.
good luck for testing positive,when is your test date? :D
love loopy. :D

Good luck - mine have always been transferred immediatley at around 2-4 cells so don't worry about the number. CArry on as normal as loopy says - I was walking the dog, cooking using my great Le Creuset pan etc and pg with twins. If you had not had tmt you would have been carrying on as normal wouldn't you.

It's a hard one to stay sane - I know - done it enough times but hang in there
love

Hi Nessie,

Iknow how hard it is to carry on as normal especially when dh would carry you around, but you will go nuts if you don't.

Hi everyone


Thanks alot for replying.

I shall show my dh what you have said and see if he will loosen some of that cotton wool a little (although l think it will probably go in one ear and out of the other!!!).

On my first go both of my embies only had only 3 cells but this time one has 4 and the other 5 and that was after 2 days. I think that is why l am getting my hopes up a bit more.

Loopy - did you have to wait 4 days before yours were put back? only asking because l only waited 2 days and was wondering if all clinics are different?

I have not rang up yet for my test day (stupid l know) i just keep putting it off, i shall ring tomorrow though. I think it will be around 16 July, when will yours be Loopy?

Thanks again and l hope to speak to you all again will keep reading though.

Nessie
