I am already losing my mind.  I am feeling panicky because my cramps are subsiding.  I've also been googling images of 3 day embryos and comparing them to pics of mine   Who does that?  A lunatic desperate for a child that's who.  The 2ww is pure torture.  8 more days til beta.  SIGH

Jaime is right, it is pure torture.  It seemed like ever since I got home from my ET, like you, I was googling images of 5d embies/blasts and comparing mine, symptoms I should be feeling, and success stories.  Every twitch, cramp, pain, etc I felt during the 2WW, I googled it.  Just keep thinking positive thoughts.  I'm praying for you.  Hope the next week goes by super fast.  Hugs!

It's torturous.  I went through this past month with a friend who was also pursuing her first cycle of IVF  We were basically one day apart on our retrievals and transfers.

She stopped having cramps 3 days post transfer and I continued to have them off and on during the whole wait.  And we both ended up getting pregnant this cycle.  So please don't automatically think the worst because the way your body is prepping for those little babies could be completely different than another person.

And I googled like a maniac as well- looked at pictures of embryos, looked up symptoms and led myself into madness.  Unfortunately to some degree I think it is just unavoidable.  The past month (and far prior that) so much of your energy has been focused on making this happen. 

My advice is to try and fill up your time as much as possible with play dates and outings because that should give your mind less time to ponder.  Thinking of you!

Thanks so much ladies for making me feel better.  DH is out running errands and my sister picked up DD for an afternoon "date", so I can have some time to rest.  I know it sounds great, but being alone leaves me too much time to think and you know what that means

Watching the Sex and the City marathon on E and of course it is about Charlotte and her IF.  UGH!!!!!

Tomorrow it is back to life for me.  DD and I are going out to breakfast and then go wherever the day takes us.  Is it Monday, April 4 yet? LOL

Not a lunatic, just normal, if the rest of us are any measurement of normal...   Hee Hee...

Hang in there, and may your mind be on other (good) things this week so time flies!

I think you are completely normal. Just know that we are all rooting for you.  I hope the next week flys by for you!

You are of course completely normal (well, better than normal , and this time is truly torture. I don't know what's worse, being in the testable time or being in that dang first week where you can't event think that testing would tell you anything.

Hang in there!!!

It's AWFUL. I was a raving lunatic during both of my IVF/FET 2wws. SERIOUSLY. Good luck Amanda!!!!

Lol, I would totally do that too!  I would want some reassurance that things look like they are supposed to at this stage.
