Hi all!
I've lurked for a bit and I'm finally in a good place mentally/emotionally to participate:)
quick history:
I had a CP in September 2015 & a m/c under 11 weeks in January 2016, both on rounds of clomid. Many rounds of clomid, 1 unsuccessful IUI later...I'm here doing IVF. DH checks out fine, counts are on the lower end but so far nothing my RE is concerned about.
This is is my first round of IVF. I did Gonal F, menopur, cetrotide & triggered Ovidrel last night. I'm doing a fresh transfer with no PGS/PGD testing (for now).
Egg retrieval is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
How much work did you guys take off after your transfer? If I have any embryos to transfer it will most likely be Sunday and I'm wondering if I should just plan on the whole week. I know for sure three days basically on bed rest...
Thank you

Re: New with quick intro & a few questions (tw: losses mentioned)
With my first 2 transfers I took 3 days including day of transfer. This time, I went for total de stress mode and took the whole week off. BFP
Me: 1, possibly 2, blocked tubes
DH: severe MFI
Married and TTC since 2/15
Started stims 7/21/16, ER 8/2 --> 17 eggs, 5 blasts after PGS testing.
Fresh transfer 8/8/16: Chemical Pregnancy
FET #1 9/13: PGS tested 5AA, BFN
Endometrial biopsy 10/18/16: normal result
ERA test 10/18/16: "receptive" result
FET #2 1/3/17: natural cycle, BFP!!! TWINS!! EDD: 9/21 (8/31 with twin adjustment)
seems like every clinic is different, mine said after transfer certainly don't start new exercises or go crazy redoing my house, but continue on normally (just a little more low key). I work from home so I'm just keeping my week a bit lighter but I'll continue on pretty much like normal, hopefully
Good luck tomorrow and please come back to report how it goes.
2017 - egg retrieval #1 - 3 eggs, 0 embryos appropriate for transfer; ER #2 2 eggs, 0 embryos on day 3; ER #3 1 egg 0 embryos
moved to donor egg in summer 2017; 35 eggs retrieved; 19 fertilized; 9 total embryos
Fresh transfer Dec 2017= BFP! baby boy born 8/22/18
