Argh! I can't help it, I am going crazy and obsessed! ![]()
We transferred 4 embryos on Sunday the 8th. 2 were frozen at 5 days from our previous cycle, and 2 were a fresh 3 day transfer. The 2 frozen were the better quality - an 8 cell grade A and a 5 cell grade B. I was not given a grading for the 2 fresh, but I can see from their pictures that they have more fragmentation.
What (if anything) does this mean for my testing? My beta is the 20th, but I already know I can't wait that long and will POAS. Ermmm... because I already did this morning!! It was negative, but it was only 7dpt. I guess I can say I know the trigger is out of my system. ...sigh...
Can anyone help me? Lock me up for the next several days or something?!
Re: xp; POAS question for a crazy lady please
I FEEL your pain, the waiting is pure torture. It's still early, I would think that you should give it until at least Wed to change to a BFP before becoming discouraged. Right now you are 10dpo. There is an IVF due date calculator-I'll get the website and post it in a second.
Ok, the website is www.ivf.ca/duedate.php Based on your retrieval date of 1/5/12, it indicates that implantation should be completed by about 1/16/12. Hcg is not secreted until implantation is complete (as I understand it).
Remember, it's never over until your Beta draw though-never know.
Thank you so much!! I didn't tell my husband that I tested (or anyone else except you guys!!) and today I got so much loving, excited support from him and my family. It crushed me to think about that stark missing line on the test! I of course found cases of women on line getting BFPs at 5dp3dt and was getting really worried and seriously obsessing.
The website did make me feel better, and I really needed that so thank you so much again! I am still a little confused about the 2 frosties because they were 5 dayers, whereas the fresh ones were 3 dayers, and not as good quality.... argh it's enough to make me a total lunatic.
Ok, deep breaths...deep breaths... and thank you again for the support and talking me off the ledge.
