@APM_SLP glad I'm not the only one. I really want to think it's because I'm pregnant but it's more likely the meds and/or not sleeping well (or a combo!). I don't remember being this tired after my last transfer but I didn't write down any of my symptoms that time. I also keep thinking my boobs are getting sore but that also might be wishful thinking. The 26th can't get here soon enough!
Y'all are so wonderful, thank you for the well wishes!
I'm PUPO!! Here's our perfect little girl:
@FatPony I'm a marriage and family therapist in private practice. Perhaps the farthest thing from an accountant? Haha. I'm extremely scatterbrained. Without organization I can hardly function. I need those trackers!
So, I'm noticing myself getting paranoid about every little thing I do now. The nurse told me to rest today, but not too much. She said it's important to get the blood flowing so still go about my day but not do anything too strenuous. I just don't really know what that means. If I'm going about my day today, I would probably just plant myself in front of Netflix for hours on end. But she said not to do that. So.... I guess I'm trying to find a happy medium.
I'm also worried that if I move or jerk around too much by accident that I've somehow messed something up. I'm trying to have faith that my body is protecting my little embryo, but it's hard! I need to relax or this is going to be a long 10 days until beta!

Maybe you could cook yourself a nice meal! Then you'd be up and moving around the kitchen, but not doing anything strenuous. It also might distract you a little.
@wifeinraleigh28 yay for being PUPO! I think planting yourself on the couch and binging on Netflix sounds like a fantastic idea! Maybe just take a few breaks I think you will be just fine, don't worry about jerking or anything. My sister was t-boned pretty bad and then found out she was pregnant the next week and my nephew is a healthy, spunky little dude! Our bodies know how to protect and as long as you aren't doing any heavy lifting or stuff that is causing prolonged uterine contractions I think it's all good.
@wifeinraleigh28 I did the same thing with my first transfer but the nurse assured me that my emby wouldn't just fall out haha. Maybe you and your H could take a leisurely walk around the block just to get the blood flowing and get you out of the house. Good luck!
@thucks and @LeFemmeViolette hope your transfers went well today too and all three of you get sticky babies!

My doctor said to me - spend the day doing exactly what you would have been doing if you hadn't had this transfer. Don't do anything overly strenuous, But otherwise have a lovely day. I am taking some comfort in that - hope it helps
I've done almost nothing today that valum kicked my but. We did look at a house for sale on our way home. I slept in the car and I've been sleeping all day. I'm trying to make myself get up and move now. Maybe I'll go pick some tomatoes in the garden.

Hey does anyone get brown discharge from the pessaries? Sorry if it's TMI... I just noticed it's starting to happen since I changed to the pessaries from the cream!
@wifeinraleigh28 on all transfers I've been prescribed Valium. Helps relax the body for transfer I guess. Dh always laughs at me cause we always do lunch afterwards and I can barely concentrate he saus it's like I'm high. Then I end up sleeping most of the day.

For those of you having done FET before, has anyone had a cycle canceled due to follicular cysts? My only other FET was fine (no cysts), but I'm quite prone to them and I'm not feeling so good about my ultrasound next Tuesday. I tend to get BIG cysts and I shit you not can usually tell when something is going horribly wrong with my obnoxious ovaries. I have all the usual symptoms when they have been confirmed via U/S before. I think they're back with a vengeance. I'm starting to worry about whether I might get canceled if I have a massive one (or two). Damn PCOS!!
Valium is optional at my clinic. I haven't taken it yet because I'm always scared it will make me loopy!
Im 3dp5dt today. I've had mild cramping and severe lower back pain all day. I also continue to be super sleepy but I've been that way since meds started. This wait is torture!!!!!

Just went to do my bloodwork. Not feeling positive at all. For the past two days I've been sleeping really good and not getting up to pee much like I was. I don't feel bloated anymore and my brain isn't fuzzy either. I already know what the levels are gonna tell me. I'll still post it but I wanted to thank everyone ahead of time for all your support and sincerity. I'll be still on cheering you all on and can't wait to hear all the BFP's and BETA's!

Married my best friend in 2013 (I was 33), After 1.5yrs of TTC got my first BFP naturally on 2/7/15 but ended in DNC on 4/14/15, not viable. In 2015 I was 35...Found out I had only one working ovary, which was DOR, with scar tissue and I ovulated at 7 days, with a small cervix opening and a tilted uterus...

Needless to say, anything is possible! I'm keeping my signature open so it gives someone out there hope that anything is possible. Message me if you ever have any questions or just need someone to talk to. DON'T GIVE UP!
@lsatturo126 my fingers are crossed for you! Hopefully the lull in symptoms just means your body has adjusted to the hormones for the time being. Thinking of you today!
I am having a bum day today. Way too much googling on Cp's. I need to get out of the house and do something good. Sounds like another beach and boardwalk day for me!
@LSatturo126 I felt the same for my second beta - I took a hpt because I needed to see the negative myself since I hadn't poas with my first beta. Somehow that test prepared me for the second call. I just needed it to be negative so I could move forward. I was so scared of it being ectopic.
I am still cheering for you!
@APM_SLP my clinic offered me valium at my mock transfer but I declined it, not sure if they don't do it for the transfer or just didn't offer it to me since they knew I wouldn't take it. That stuff messes me up!
@cmm012 Thanks for checking up on us over here!! I'm trying to be hopeful that I will see you on PAIF soon!
@LSatturo126 I'm still rooting for you and trying to remain hopeful that you could get good news today. I know sometimes our instincts are right, but sometimes they are instead defenses to protect ourselves. I hope you are wrong about your lack of symptoms!
It has only been a day since my transfer and I'm already googling "PGS success rates" like crazy to try to comfort myself. I'm finding the success rates aren't very representative of my age group since the majority of people who opt to do PGS testing are 35+. But still, the success rates seem quite good. Just trying to ease my anxiety...

@LSatturo126 - sorry to hear about your declining symptoms At least with cp's, you go back to zero quickly and can move on to your next step. Not to make light of your situation; my SIL had to wait months for a cycle after a mc. It's never easy. But thanks for sticking around to cheer us on, that takes some guts. If my beta isn't good news, I'm not sure I'll be able to.
@bells52000 - I hope your day gets better. Can you post a nice beach pic for us prairie gals that haven't seen an ocean in years?? Lol. Maybe can bring some serenity to the 2WWers
@wifeinraleigh28 step away from the Google!! Don't get sucked into the Google black hole. Throw on a cheesy rom-com and relax this weekend!!
@bells52000 you too, step away from the Google!! CPs absolutely suck. I went through two with back to back IUIs and they were devastating. I swore after those I would never test at home again Bc I don't think I could handle the roller coaster. You'll have good days and bad days, just let them happen. Definitely post a beach pic for us!
My stomach is starting to look like a war zone between the bruising from the lovenox and the marks from the estrogen patches. It's totally sexy . Has anyone seen Troop Beverly Hills? Everytime I have to switch my patches I think of the housekeeper (Rosa, I think?) saying "We don't need no stinking patches" lol. Love that movie!
@bells52000 when I had my CP I became consumed with looking for information. I may have missed it but when can you try again? Thinking about that and planning for that helped me move on somewhat.

@Worldtravler0522 They have me starting the BCP on Monday the 19th and I meet with the RE on the 26th to go over the next cycle. The nurse thought they would do the same thing this cycle as the last because everything technically went well...except for the part that it didnt stick around. I will know for sure when I meet with the RE.
Um... My levels went up to 60.5!!!! Ladies I honestly don't know how to react!!! They said my nurse will call Monday to schedule an US for my 6 weeks!!! Honestly I'm trying to be cool and not give up hope because it looks like something is going on!!! They want me to come back Monday for a follow up blood work just to make sure I doubles! I'm crying and DH cried too! Ahhhh so crazy! Thanks for all the positive vibes!! Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

I'm feeling kinda discouraged today. The embyologist called and said that the other embryo did not divide very well she doesn't like the look of it so they are not going to refreeze it. So out of the three we thawed yesturday at least 2 were no good. So I'm pretty sure the odds of the one they put in aren't so good.

@thucks Ugh, I'm sorry about this news about your embryos. Hopefully the one they put in is doing better being in its natural environment. Have they told you why they think this is happening? *hugs*
DH and I just saw Bridget Jones's Baby. I thought, why not to celebrate the weekend of our transfer, lol. Turns out it was fantastic!

@LSatturo126 I felt the same for my second beta - I took a hpt because I needed to see the negative myself since I hadn't poas with my first beta. Somehow that test prepared me for the second call. I just needed it to be negative so I could move forward. I was so scared of it being ectopic.
I am still cheering for you!
@APM_SLP my clinic offered me valium at my mock transfer but I declined it, not sure if they don't do it for the transfer or just didn't offer it to me since they knew I wouldn't take it. That stuff messes me up!

@LSatturo126 I'm still rooting for you and trying to remain hopeful that you could get good news today. I know sometimes our instincts are right, but sometimes they are instead defenses to protect ourselves. I hope you are wrong about your lack of symptoms!
It has only been a day since my transfer and I'm already googling "PGS success rates" like crazy to try to comfort myself. I'm finding the success rates aren't very representative of my age group since the majority of people who opt to do PGS testing are 35+. But still, the success rates seem quite good. Just trying to ease my anxiety...

@bells52000 - I hope your day gets better. Can you post a nice beach pic for us prairie gals that haven't seen an ocean in years?? Lol. Maybe can bring some serenity to the 2WWers
@bells52000 you too, step away from the Google!! CPs absolutely suck. I went through two with back to back IUIs and they were devastating. I swore after those I would never test at home again Bc I don't think I could handle the roller coaster. You'll have good days and bad days, just let them happen. Definitely post a beach pic for us!
My stomach is starting to look like a war zone between the bruising from the lovenox and the marks from the estrogen patches. It's totally sexy
@bells52000 when I had my CP I became consumed with looking for information. I may have missed it but when can you try again? Thinking about that and planning for that helped me move on somewhat.

SINGLETON- EDD June 9th, 2016
I'm feeling kinda discouraged today. The embyologist called and said that the other embryo did not divide very well she doesn't like the look of it so they are not going to refreeze it. So out of the three we thawed yesturday at least 2 were no good. So I'm pretty sure the odds of the one they put in aren't so good.

@thucks Ugh, I'm sorry about this news about your embryos. Hopefully the one they put in is doing better being in its natural environment. Have they told you why they think this is happening? *hugs*
DH and I just saw Bridget Jones's Baby. I thought, why not to celebrate the weekend of our transfer, lol. Turns out it was fantastic! I laughed so hard that I cried, and now I"m hoping that much shaking didn't mess up implantation... (rationally, I know it would not have, but my brain is so irrational right now).
