  Yes. This. Hang at home, nothing exciting. You get up to pee and eat. Find some Netflix marathon of some show you wanted to see but never started and watch the crap out of them! Wednesday is right around the corner!

  Married 2007
  3 Clomid IUIs -- BFNs
  IVF #1 never made it to transfer
  On "egg health" cocktail DHEA/CoQ10/FRC/Pregnitude/Melatonin
  Starting IVF #2 for Feb 2013
  Follistim/Menopur/Ganirelix
  Cancelled mid-cycle due to high P4 levels early on.
  OCPs again for IVF 2.5 mid-March. IVF 2.5 transferred two "gorgeous" 5-day blasts and BFFN. Even REI is baffled
  On indefinite hold until a huge stroke of serendipity led me to IVF 3 May 2014
  Testing found positive cardiolipins/APS, now on lovenox and intralipid infusions
  Transfer of 2 5-day blasts and (FINALLY) BFFP!! 1st ultrasound shows two sacs and two HB, but one is sluggish, almost expecting vanishing twin Subsequent ultrasound confirmed vanishing twin, but my other Little critter looks fantastic!

  Yes, I agree with PP.  Sit on the couch, avoid any chores (laundry, cleaning, cooking can wait - - unless you have someone else to do it, 'cause that's ok).  Someone to help with DD is essential, as toddlers may have trouble with the concept of "Mom needs to take it easy."

  
  

  But take showers, get up when you need to walk around (but don't lift anything heavy), eat at the table - but mostly become a couch potato with books, tv, knitting - whatever calms you most.

  
  

  GL - Looking forward to an update after Wednesday's RCS.
