My husband,28, and I,23, have been trying to get pregnant for over two years. He has issues with his sperm count and motility. We went in for the Embryo Transfer August 25th. I have had really no symptoms. I did a HPT on day 6pt and again today 8pt. I don't think I am pregnant and just want to give up. I told my husband that I didn't think I could go through this again if I wasn't. I am crying and upset. I just don't know what to do. I am only 23. I have been doing everything the Dr. told me to do. I have eaten plenty of pasta, peanut butter, and pineapple. I don't feel pregnant. I need help. I don't think I am pregnant!
Please don't give up! It's hard, and especially hard, I'd imagine, if you are so young...(I've got a good 20+ years on you, so as you can see, one never gives up!)
Read threads on 2WWaits...it is an incredibly stressful time on everyone who goes through IVF, both for the men and the women...also, try to be sensitive to your husband's position...while it's incredibly tough for you to do all the shots, etc, a man's sperm is his kingdom and it's rough on a guy to find out his swimmers are weak.
You'll find support on this board.
Also, Peanut Butter, Pasta and Pineapple? That has nothing to do with positive results. A strong embryo, an excellent doctor, and perserverance matter. (If your doctor's selling you on the 3 Ps, I suggest you get a REAL doctor!)
Good luck
