Bronsie - Welcome to the site. Hope your wait, like all of ours, goes quickly. Sounds like you have had a pretty dramatic time between EPU and ET. It's nice that your FS and embryoligist worked on Sunday to transfer your blasties. In response to your question about what is normal to expect during TWW, I don't think there is a `normal'. Other ladies mention cramping from Crinone, but I never get this. Previous symptoms have been sore boobs, bloating, tiredness and being very thirsty - but all symptoms were side-effects of the drugs as all BFNs. to you.
Leabie - It must be so hard to go through the TWW by yourself. I know I drive my partner mad by constant obsessing. At least you can share thoughts/feelings through this forum and we can all obsess together I think it's so unfair that practically all the symptoms that drugs give you (ie sore boobs, tiredness etc) are the same symptoms you would expect if pregnant!
Sal, your transfer sounds traumatic. I think I would give the embryolgist a good whack over the head! The only similar thing I have heard about the embryo being dropped was in a quarterly QFG newsletter - and they didn't find that embryo; the lady's only one to be transferred that day! Hopefully Nicole's positive result is giving you some relief.
I have a question for you ladies: After hearing fertilisation rates on day 1 (after ET), is it usual to get a report on day 3 and then if you're doing a day 5 transfer to simply turn up to the hospital not knowing whether you've got a blastie or whatever? On our first cycle I think I only heard on day 1 and I called most days after that but didn't know till turning up at hospital that we only had two morulas; no blasties. The second time it was a day 3, so I think we only got a report on day 1. Tomorrow (Monday) is day 3. I do have our scientist's number and am thinking of calling for day 3 report. Do others call their scientiests or do you automatically get a day 3 report? Thanks in advance ...
