Hello again Lisa. I did an EPT 5 days before my blood test and it said BFN. 5 days later my first beta draw was 336. Yes this pregnancy is a result of my 2nd IVF procedure this year. My first was in April. They did a 5 day transfer of 2 blastocysts. We had one that implanted, which is great. The irony of it is that I am due on April Fool's Day. LOL!!!! Best of luck and I will talk to you later.

Melissa - how are you doing today....Some women have blood after the transfer and on the medication...You should not get your period until after they take you off the medication fully...You may have bled a little more if it was around the time that you were to get your AF...Then again you may have bled just due to implantation on the loss of one embie if you transferred more then one...Hope all is well...Talk to you soon and hang in there...Baby dust to you...

Hi Frenz,
Firstly, congrats to all with BFPs!
I am new to this group..just joined the forum today.
This is my second attempt with ICSI.My previous ICSI failed due to hyperstimulation and prior to that I had an ectopic pregnancy through IUI. Today is my 7 day post ET.Till about yesterday I had cramps in my abdomen and was hopeful that probably the embies are trying to attach to mama.But today, since the time I woke up, no pains.I am having no symptoms as such, yes peeing a lot but thats because I am drinking a lot of water to avoid hyperstimulation,no headaches, heartaches,strong smell,etc.No AF symptoms either.But from what I have read in various forums its good to have AF symptoms...I am confused with zero symptoms!

Hello, Waiting!
I'm right there with you... did ICSI and transferred 2 embryos on 12/10, so I'm one day ahead of you (?). I felt nothing at all the day of transfer, nor two days later. It was the third day that I started to feel "AF" type pains, very very slight, however. And only in the evening, and mostly when I was flat on my back. That has been the pattern each day, the ONLY symptom, if you can call it that... but today I felt NOTHING at all. So, I freaked and took a EPT and it was immediately positive, so I guess they took... all we have to do is wait for HcG levels (Thursday). But, the symptoms are zero, except for that very very slight AF type sensation late at night. No sore BBS, no nothing. I'll cross fingers for you!!

Hi, Jenny (and everyone else)! Yeah, I had a miscarriage mid August, but we never saw the heartbeat, so we were okay with it. (I guess your hopes go way up and it's more devastating when you have seen a heartbeat). Anyway, we had 10 frozen totcicles, so we put two back last Monday the 10th. Today 12/20 I get my first HcG level taken. My symptoms have been just like my July try:
--Felt nothing first 3 days post transfer
--Then starting the night of the third day, and up until now, i've had mild/stead AF-type cramping, but just mild. Like I'm just about to get AF. I've never had PMS symptoms or any major cramping in my life, but just a mild cramping during first 2 hours of AF, so I'm thinking your body might react when you're pregnant in the same manner as your monthly cycle.
Anyway, it's good to be back on this forum and good to hear from you, Jenny! I hope I'm not off the forum again soon (miscarriage). :P
I'll report back with my levels later tonight (I never get the call before 4:30 pm West Coast time, so nervewracking!). :-\

Okay, time to report in: first beta (11 dpt, 16 dpo) is 371!! Yey! That's one hurdle over wirth. Now for 4 days later, the next beta needs to be 1,484. Also, my progesterone was 65, so that's good! Last failed cycle (I keep records of every little thing), I was 409 for my first beta, but it was taken one day later than this cycle's, and it indeed did double to 818 exactly 2 days later, but then 1 week after that I miscarried. And my progesterone was 25. They need to see 20 or more. I didn't think 25 was great back then, probably added to the many unknown factors that led to the miscarriage.
So, we have two more big hurdles to overcome, and if I don't miscarry by next Friday, Dec 28, it will be the furtherst we've ever come.
By the way, I'm taking 40 mg of Lovenox daily due to Factor V Leiden clotting disorder (just recently diagnosed since my last miscarriage), as well as this time I went for 4 months to an acupuncturist/herbal medicines. He felt I didn't have enough blood to support a baby (my pulse is always hovering around 45 bpm), and now it's around 65, and my tongue looks pink, and so I think it's part of the reason for success.

Thanks, Jenny and Waiting!
I'm cautiously optimistic about Monday's results.
Waiting.... you test on Dec 27.... yikes, that must seem like a looooong way away, but fortunately a little thing like Christmas Eve and Christmas might make the days pass a little faster.
I swear, go on a 2 week ski vacation and you'll think it was 2 days..... go on the 2ww and each day is a lifetime!
I'll be hoping and praying for good results for you, too! Are you having any more symptoms? I know that in the middle of the 2ww for me there was a lull in symptoms, but then 2 days ago the mild cramping started up again steadily.
