Thanks Nat. Re the HPT question, basically the conclusion that I reached, along with Sushee, is that it's bollocks. DW had no hCG boosters therefore a HPT is just as valid as for anyone else who may be wishing to use one. They (the clinic) just worry that they'll cop the flack if the HPT says something different to the BT. Plus they probably get calls all the time from people thinking they've seen a line, etc etc.
I can't claim to be blasé because I am embittered by the process, I just don't have a big feeling about ths one. I guess it's because a stim cycle is a big whoop and gets you right up there in terms of emotions and procedures, whereas the FET is pretty much a non-event so you don't really build up to the same level. As for the progesterone supplements, it's a cruel thing that's for sure. Like tonight, DW said she started feeling hungry again and that she felt the only way to get rid of the queasy feeling was to eat. Classic pregnancy sign. Also probably indicative of raised progesterone levels via artificial means thus creating the same response as a pregnant person may have. This is what craps me off, and this is why we've trued pretty hard to let most of the symptom analysis go by the wayside.
As for you, give it time. Your first cycle had no transfer, your second produced a blastie for transfer which is excellent and your third is underway. Statistically the best is yet to come!
