pregnancy symptoms after transfer

I am 9 days post-transfer via a donor cycle with a 5 day embryo transfer.  Only one embryo was transferred and I don't think I feel any real pregnancy symptoms.  Should I already be feeling any of these?  The only ones I really have are sore breasts and some fatigue.

I have real almost all your posts.....  Glad to find a blog with so many women like me.  Some post have inspired me, some made my heart ache.  I feel every loss I hear about cause I know how much all this takes a toll on our emotions and hopes.

I had my first IVF transfer today (10.25.07).... I am 42 with two children (25, 11) ....my 25 year is pregnant.... they came over to tell us this weekend past.  A lot to take in since we have been on an infertile journey since Jan.  

I had 8 follicles.... We've done one IUI but decided to move onto to IVF to improve our chances.  My DH has male factor issues as well.  I was a slow reponder to Follistim/menopur although responded pretty well to Clomid/follistim during IUI cycle.  6 eggs were retrieved but only 5 mature.  hubby's sperm count was low but we used ICSI.  Only 3 eggs fertilized.  On day 3 transfer had 2-grade B and 1-grade C..... each only 3, 4 and 5 cells.  We are thinking our chances are pretty low.... 13% or so according to the doc doing the transfer.  We also did assisted hatching.  Now hanging out on the sofa missing time from work.... got to wait 16 days for Beta.

Depressed about being a grandma :( and not being able to conceive.

Reading your entry was like looking at what I am going through.  I am 8 days post transfer and have absolutely no symptoms.  I, too, am older (43) and this is the second time I use my own eggs.  I really want to do the HPT but don't want to face the possible outcome.  I wish you luck and hope all goes well.  If this does not work for me, I will try once more with my own eggs.  Best wishes.
