Anxious

Hi,
This is my first time logging in and posting a comment.  I just turn 33 (last week) and we did our first IVF with 2 grade 4 embryo transfer on day 3 last Tuesday (13OCT09).  It is encouraging to read the stories of other people experiencing the same emotions.  I can't wait for next Tuesday for our first beta check.  Ever since the transfer I have felt minor to mild intermittent cramping, but I was wondering if cramping that lasted approx 4 hrs (left lower side, yesterday) was normal.  I have been praying everyday at all times and I have faith in God that he will answer our prayers.  I was also wondering if it would be prudent to take a HPT or wait until next week for the blood test? I appreciate any info or advice.

Thanks for the prayer.  I defenitely believe that nothing can be accomplished without God.  No matter what the outcome I have all the faith.  No doubts that we will get pregnant and have a beautiful baby/babies.  I will keep all of you guys in my prayers.  

To ashi96:
Congrats! So excited for you.  

To jlagee:
I will be praying and let us know the results.

I am now 14 days past my transfer of 2 3 day 8 cell embabies.  I have had mild cramping on and off since the day after the transfer.  everyone says this may be normal - I will let you know tomorrow after my beta!  

Best of luck and prayers to you!

Hi,

Thanks!

I think you tested it too early. Good luck for a positive result on 10/22.

Hi,

Thanks. I completed 8 weeks yesterday. There is only one baby, but they transferred 2. Last week they did my u/s, dr said it looks good with 150 heart beat.

Thanks.  It's hard to have patience when you've been waiting so long.  No bleeding or spotting which I'm very thankful for, just the mild cramping.  I will hold off on the HPT.  How many wks are you now? And how many babies? Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy to full term.

Hi,

Mild cramping is ok, as long as you dont spot or bleed is fine. I think your PT is on 10/27. It is too early to do the HPT, you wont see anything. Because some of the tests show positive only when the beta-HCG level is above 50 units. So wait until sunday, and do the HPT on sunday. But blood tests will give more accurate results. I did my HPT one day before my blood test, it came back positive i.e. 9 days after my transfer. Good luck!
