I seriously feel like this two week wait is driving me crazy!! We are our embryo transfer Wednesday the 22nd, so I'm 5 days post today. All the symptoms drive you insane because you don't know if they are related to the progesterone or estrogen, if you are pregnant or even if your period is coming!! My symptoms range from sore breasts since the transfer, back pain, cramps...I want to stay positive but I don't want to be let down as well..this is our first IVF. Ugh I just want to know and have this wait over!! My beta test is not until next Monday April 3 (also when my period is expected) and I keep debating if I will test at home Friday that's when I should be in the clear to test at home.Part of me wants too, part of me doesn't! I would love to and it be positive and I can do something awesome and sweet for my hubby ❤❤ baby dust to us all!!

Hang in there, lalalax88! I completely understand the two-week wait of madness, although ours was admittedly a little shy of two weeks, at 10 days! You are doing great, almost halfway there! As for the home pregnancy test, it is obviously entirely up to you, but although I completely wanted to by the day before, I restrained myself from going to buy one because I knew that if it was a false negative, or god forbid, a false positive, I would be devastated either way, and that early on, a pee test is much less accurate than your bloodwork. But again, do what you feel is right! Baby dust and hugs to you, hang in there little mommy! xoxo

I am also currently on the dreaded two week wait. I will actually also find out on Monday the 3rd. This is my 6th cycle with IVF and I have never done a home pregnancy test. Mainly because my doctors have told me it may not be accurate with all of the medications I take. Good luck to you and I truly hope you get good news on Monday!!!

lalalax88 03/28/2017

Awe same to you!! It's killer all my symptoms could be the meds, my period or maybe a baby?! Just want to know already ahh!! Soon enough I suppose! Baby dust too you too!!

I had my transfer on Thursday and am not feeling any mind if symptoms or am I reading too much ? Iam trying not to exert myself and on a movie binging spree but sometimes feel worried iam not having any symptoms !! Any advice ?

lalalax88 04/01/2017

I wouldn't even think into it! I wish I didn't look up symptoms and keep reading things to be honest...I honestly kept feeling like I was getting my period but the cramps were a little different...dont let yourself get in your head! I have had 5 positive preg test and a digital one said neg last night...at first I was so down but dig are more sensitive need more hcg to pick up! Will have to try again closer to my blood draw Monday! Good luck to you!!

Jash 04/01/2017

Phew !! I kept reading so much and now I need to stop.Iam praying for you lalalax88 good luck on Monday , baby dust to you !! My blood draw is not until next Monday , I plan to resume work this Monday at least to divert myself .

lalalax88 04/01/2017

It's so hard!! Now I wish I didn't test ahead of time bc like I said 5 positive and a neg digital makes you crazy!! Stop reading and just enjoy you "'could" be pregnant..I'm assuming I am and I'm going to try to just relax (easier said then done lol) if it helps all my symptoms could be the progesterone side effects, the baby, my period...it's just too much too look into. God has his plan I have to have faith!! I'm so glad I have this group to talk to!!

Jash 04/01/2017

I know !! Faith and Hope is all is left now . Am glad I have this group to listen to as well !!

Hi! I admit i didn't read your whole post b/c i saw the words of 2 ww and i had to respond. I am just ending it after 1st IUI and supposed to test on Wednesday but couldn't wait in the unknown any longer, so i tested this morning with a big fat negative of course. I know IUI is different than the IVF process and maybe the wait is a little different too, but i just wanted to say that it absolutely hands down totally SUCKS!! My mood swings have been crazy, and that's really it. I probably had slight stomach \ cramp pains, but it's just been the waiting and the "if am or if i'm not". For those of you who have been down this road before, you are my hero's b/c it is so hard. I want your strength and to share whatever of mine i can with you. Sending you all who commented on here hugs and hope for all of us to get the answers we want - asap!!

lilie315 04/03/2017

Me again - i just read and now lalala88 i have to know how the blood draw went!!

lalalax88 04/03/2017

Hi y'all! Beta was positive! And 474!! Thank you all for your support and help through this all here's to a hopeful full term pregnancy! And Lillie315 I'm so sorry it was negative!! It does totally suck! My digital said I wasn't pregnant too but I guess I took it too early ❤ baby dust
