Kay Kay, good luck on Tuesday. I've done 4 transfers and only the most recent of those has actually hurt. The others were just a bit uncomfortable (just due to the speculum). The last one the cervix wasn't in the right position or something? He had to use this other instrument to hold the cervix and that hurt like heck, but only for a few minutes. Unless your Dr says otherwise, you should be fine going back to work if you want to. I always take the day off (and the next day) because I tend to get stressed at work and I'd rather just go home and relax.

Emerald Star, glad to hear you can get started. I was in a buddy group of IVF first-timers on another site last year when I did my first cycle. About 2/3 of the group got a BFP first time, so it does happen. FX you are one of the lucky ones.
