So, I'm assuming that you'll be testing tomorrow morning, right?  I can't wait to hear about your BFP!  I do not POAS (waited until my beta to get my positive pregnancy news and only took one digital pregnancy test afterward) so I am living vicariously through you.  Not to mention, we are not actively TTC at this point.  Best of luck and fingers crossed!

    My transfer was Tuesday and I started POAS'ing on Wednesday. That is not a joke. With all of my fresh cycles I always started POAS'ing the day of transfer so that I can test out my trigger and I guess old habits die hard.

    As of this afternoon - 4dp6dt - I am still BFNs. It's starting to get to me, but I probably won't completely freak out until Monday.

    Beta is on Thursday.

    I thought I knew what we were going to do if this cycle didn't work, but now I'm questioning EVERYthing.

    Well, try to remember that it's early yet (which I know you know already).  I'm still excited for you!  I also can understand why you'd be questioning things.  This stuff is hard and certainly not black and white.  You have every right to change your mind, but I still think you're not out of the game yet!  Hang in there!

    Thanks hon! I need a pep talk, that's for sure.

    My original plan if this failed is to do a limited fert fresh IVF, but I'm afraid that even with limited fert we might still have more frozen embryos than we want. 

    At my clinic OOP cycles are $3500 and at clinics nearby that do frozen egg cycles the cost is $11K, so it makes A LOT more sense to fresh cycle locally and limit what we do, rather than gamble on a costly egg cycle. We could do two fresh limited fert cycles here and still not spend as much as one frozen egg cycle!

    I just get so antsy thinking about how many is the right amount to fertilize? How many embryos would I be comfortable freezing? Blah blah blah.

    We were in Jersey visiting family last weekend and my aunts (who have no idea I'm cycling right now) asked me why we wouldn't just try to conceive on our own since I clearly can get pregnant. I wanted to scream.

    I hate being IF!

    No problem!  I'll give a pep talk anytime - just let me know!  :)

    Like I said, it's really hard to make these types of decisions.  I don't blame you for getting antsy thinking about this stuff.  There's really not a "right" answer to any of it.  It's all such a personal decision which is what makes it even more difficult sometimes.

    I hate infertility too.  I really think that people don't know what they're saying.  They must not even think before they talk.  Until you're in that position, you just have absolutely no idea.  My husband and I have had our share of inappropriate comments too.

    It's still so early yet too for you to be getting a BFP, so try to keep that in mind.  From what I've read, don't embryos from FETs implant a little later or something (I think I've heard that on these boards before)?  It's natural to think about "what ifs", but you don't have to go there at this point.  Fingers crossed!
