Update Had my transfer 6/9

Hi Ladies,

I've been on bedrest (still am) and I'm cheating so I can give a FAST update.
I'm PUPO!!!
I went in for my transfer on Thursday I was so nervous I took a valium
and it did help a bit but my heart was still racing....
So they came in and showed my pictures of the 5 we thawed.
3 w/ pgd results and 2 with no results.
Well I could tell by looking the PGD were VERY poor quality blasts
(to me they don't even look like any blasts pictures I've seen before )
they looked really black(dead cells) 1 was almost dead
So we ended up not using that one.
Of the other 2 with no results they survived pretty good
but had not re expanded yet. So I asked if we could thaw another straw,
My RE agreed, So we thawed a No result early good quality blasts.
That survived pretty well. I had acupuncture before my transfer ,
My RE is the BEST, So sweet and said once again that I need to be a
surrogate because my Uterus is perfect. Lining was @ 12!!

So all in all we put back 5! (2 POOR quality & 2 good & 1 early good-fair
blast) Only 2 with PGD results (both girls)
The rest are Unknowns , That scared me a bit with my history.
But we had no other option. Just puting the PGD ones we had they
said the PG rate with those is almost zero chance.
Thats why they put in 5 because they are almost not counting
2 of them. With my Fresh (success) we put back 3 good quality
5 day blasts.

So I'm hoping atleast 1 HEALTHY one sticks around
So thats it for me I'm trying not to go CRAZY, but all I can think about
are these embies and hoping and praying that I get PG!!! (PLEASE GOD)
I'm not 2dp6dt and I want to HPT so BAD but I'm trying to control myself.
Plus I don't have any hpt's either, So not much choice as of yet.
I hope all the other girls are doing good I need to catch up on everyone.
Anyone else in the 2ww (going to hpt? IF so when?)
Anyone have cramps? I do and have since my transfer I guess it's normal right?
Dh has been joking around saying since we know that 2 are girls the
other 3 Must be boys!! He's been great taking care of our 2 boys and
me while on bedrest. Thanks for reading this LONG update.....

I've been wondering about you because I had my ET on Thursday, also. Though I haven't been on bedrest. I have been taking it pretty easy except tonight where I've had a ton of things to do. Unfortunately, I've just got too much stuff going on in real life right now to just lay in bed.

I transferred 3 5-day blasts. My RE said one was an 'A' grade and the other 2 were an 'A-B' grade. I'm hoping that I've got a really good shot with this. The good news is that I have 6 blasts frozen if this cycle doesn't work. I'm thrilled that we managed to walk out with a total of 9 blasts.

I've also been cramping since ET. But I haven't had any spotting. Which makes me wonder if I'm just cramping because of the procedure or because there's some implantation going on. My cramping today hasn't been as bad as yesterday. It's been tolerable the whole time but this morning I had cramps and then tonight I had some more cramps. I really want to believe that it's implantation cramping. But then why haven't I had any spotting?????

I broke down and bought some HPTs this evening. I'm contemplating taking one tomorrow but realistically I know that it's going to show a negative at 3dp5dt.

We're going on vacation tomorrow for a few days. We'll come back on Thursday and my beta is on Friday. So I'm not sure when I'll HPT or not. I'm hoping that the next few days away keep my mind off things. Now the hard port is not doing too much right now and overdoing it!

Good luck to you during the 2ww! Wishing you lots of sticky vibes!

Hi Ladies...

FWIW....I've been pregnant 3 times that were carried to term and never had implantation spotting. So don't worry about that. I've also had some cramping. I remember thinking nothing was different than any other cycle. This is why I always say....as hard as it is - you just can't go by signs and symptoms. (BTW - you all may have to remind me of this when it's my turn in the 2ww!)

PGDMommy ~ I'm not one for hpts. I think even if I ever got a positive one I would question it in some way so I just avoid them! When is your beta? Sorry that the PGD embies didn't work out so well. Hopefully you will end up with a BFP with very healthy little one(s). Great lining by the way! (that's usually what mine is but never having done the FET I'm sure hoping it gets there with FET too!)

Both of you sound like you have a really good chance with your transfers!

Congrats on being PUPO

Ok... time for a relaxation session...

Kick youself back in the chair, bed, couch... lay your legs and arms out... let the arms dangle to the side.... close your eyes and breathe in the nose and out the mouth... visually sight the embies in that uterus and breathe in and out and talk to them and tell them to implant. Repeat while taking large deep breaths to expell that old air out of your lungs. feel your body go limp... enjoy it... do this for about 5- 8 minutes tonight b4 bed.


LOL, we have to find a way to relax in this 2ww. I swear it is so hard. I am 2dp6dt and believe me I am plotting when I can HPT already too.

PGDmommy... I hope that those embies listen to you and implant at 1 or 2 of them you put back. Dig in babies dig in ... are you ok with me wishing twins on you? boy and girl, ok?!

heavy uterine feeling today... kinda cramping in a way. Umm, I have poked my (.)(.)'s about 50 times and counting today. You? how many times?

TP checks have started for that implantation spotting ... I have had it each + cycle so I am on the look out for it too.

How much water are you all drinking?

+++++++++++++++++++++ :stickyvib :stickyvib :stickyvib :stickyvib +++++++++++++++ to us all

Good Afternoon another Monday (ahhhh) Well how is everyone?
Did anyone HPT? Feeling anything??
I've been going CRAZY I can't stop thinking about if it worked or not.
I have my 1st acupuncture since my t/f tomorrow, It's so relaxing
I'm hoping it helps calm my nerves a bit. I keep feeling cramps and
pressure, Hoping (PRAYING) that it means someone has implanted.
I'm 6dp4dt today, My RE's nurse said *IF* I cheat and take a HPT
and get a BFP that I can come in early for my beta, As of now it's not
for a WEEK (20th) I really want to get my beta Friday so we'll see....

Updates ladies, I like knowing I'm not alone
