embryo transfer 6 days ago
Hi all I've been reading all your comments, I had 2 embryo transfer both at 5 cells and grade between 3-4 6 days ago, and since the 11/11/13 I've been having really bad cramping like period pains, they come and go!! I'm nerves about it as it's my first ivf/icsi treatment
Hi there!
The 2ww is the worst! When do you go in for your beta? I hope that everything works out perfectly for you this cycle. Try and keep busy to pass the time while your waiting for your beta. It helps the days go by faster. We are expecting a little lady after our 9th IVF.

Right there with ya! My FET was 11/9 so I'm 7 days in and about to lose my mind! Hang in there!

Most places do a blood test to measure the pregnancy hormone. That test is called a Beta HCG.
Some ladies do a home test but a blood test is more accurate and if they normally will have you repeat it about 48-72 hours later to make sure it's rising appropriately. I'm sure you can get an order for blood work if you want one. Regardless I wish you the best and send baby dust your way
Your IVF doc said to just test at home and didn't schedule a beta? That's unusual. Usually you're discouraged from testing at home due to false positives or negatives and beta is anywhere from 10-14days post transfer, although I've seen quite a few ladies having betas at 8 and 9 day. I would absolutely do bloodwork. You didn't go through all of this to rely on a home preg test.
Yeah you are right, I will ask for bloods, to pay all this money and have a home test I don't think so ☺️
CONGRATS! That's fantastic news! I went in this morning for blood work, too. Just playing the waiting game now...

Congrats!!!! That is wonderful news!!! :). Was that your home pregnancy test, or did they agree to do bloodwork?
