I had embryo transfer on Feb 5th and wait...I'm testing on Saturday.I had 4 transferred.Guess this is sort of too many...It was the clinic's initiative anyway. Good luck to us all!
My transfer was done 7 days ago. I did a home pregnancy test on Friday, which was only 5 days after tranfer. It was negative. Do you think it could be wrong? I still haven't gotten my period. It's so hard to wait until the blood test on Friday.

I'm so excited for you that you went ahead with IVF!! I don't much about it, but I wish you the best of luck! I'll be thinking about you. Don't worry about sneezing and doing other things like that. You sound like me, though. I would worry (needlessly, I'm sure) about the same things!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
Thank you sooooo much for your input!!! That is exactly what I need...to go to FL and go to the beach!!!! That sounds soooo relaxing!!!! I think I am going to keep shopping online!!! maybe that will help!!! Good Luck to you!! Sticky baby dust!!! Jacquie
try this wesite you may have to fish around. I found some info on injections there.

you may have already found it if you're checking the net. This site gave me some comfort.
Yes, the cramping is common. I did my second transfer on 10/9 and was scared b/c it felt like I was going to get my period. My Dr. said it is common. I know it is so hard to wait but don't stress. I left for Florida to visit my sister for 5 days 3 days after my transfer!!! I laid on the beach, swam in the ocean and completely relaxed. I am now 9wks pregnant. Good luck - I hope you get a BFP!!!
PS I doubt that sneezing will affect your embryo. Call your IVF nurse - she'll reassure you...
Haileya: thanks for the website... I am checking that out as soon as I post this....thanks for your help!!!! It keeps me sane!!!

hi there! i've been thru ivf 4 times (1 time 2 years agao w/my dd) and now i'm 8 weeks preggo with number 2!!! woohoooooo!! the tww is the absolute worst w/ivf b/c it's such an extensive process and then to have to wait.... ugh, it stinks, i know!!! i experienced some light cramping too. i'm sure you're on progesterone shots now right? if yes, that is a major side effect of progesterone so try not too worry. i felt like i was getting a cold but never did when i was in the tww and got preggo and i had a gassy/upset (not nausea) stomach right away. other than that, no real symptons. it's tough but hang in there. best of luck! keep us posted.
Thanks smunchkin2..... I am very hopeful to hear all the success stories of IVF....we have been waiting for a long time.... ( I am sure other people have been waiting longer than us...) I wish i could find out now, but I am trying to keep myself busy and now that I am on Thanksgiving vacation with family in town, this may help!!! I still like the idea of relaxing on the beach, and of course NOT in a BIKINI!!!! I have been cramping on-off for the past couple of days....some more like AF cramps....although I am only 3dpt....congratulations with your success with IVF and keep us posted on your journey!!!! Take care!!! Jacquie
Thank you so much for your post.... I keep surfing the net and I am driving myself crrazy!!!! I probably should be resting and not sitting slouched at the computer.... again, thank you!!!
I'm not going to be much help-but from what I've read with other women who have gone through IVF they say the cramping is common.
I know I'd be freaking out if I kept sneezing but I think you'll be fine. The little guy will implant. Hang in there and try and relax. Sticky Sticky baby dust to you!
