The Two Week Wait Starts Again

Hey all.  My first cycyle in June was a bust.  I started my shots on the 4th of August and my 3 day transfer was yesterday.  Last time I had a 5 day transfer.  I hate the waiting.  What does everyone do to pass the time.  I am supposed to be a couch potatoe for today and tommorrow morning but then I can slowly get back into my routine.  I was told not to even lift a laundry basket for two weeks, so I don't know how that is a normal routine.  I am taking off all next week of work and will go back on the 8th of Sep.  My preg test is 15, Sept.  Wish me well, and I will do the same for all of you !!!!

Hi all,
I had my ET on the 27th of Aug, and should test on the 10th of Sept, I HATE THE WAITING, but its nice to find others sharing the same sitiuation. it's really hard for me to rest and do almost nothing, but I'm trying my best, do you guys think its OK to go up and down the stairs during these 2 weeks? my house has stairs and I stared going up and down after 3 days. do you think its alright?

Lili06- good for your husband. I had my transfer on 08/16, and on friday I got my BFP with Hcg levels of 289 and progestrone of 112. My husband was the same way. I joke around that her turned into a prison gaurd immediately after the retrieval. After the transfer he became the warden. He took the 48 hours of bedrest literally. I stayed in the bed the whole 4 days. Not saying this is why we got our BFP after 1/12 years of no pregnancy and 5 m/c before that, but if you take the rest the emotional part is a little bit easier. If you take the rest you can't not say to your self "what if" in the end. I say a prayer for everyone here all the time. Anytime I feel like it. If you check this forum out you will notice many ladies are getting their BFP's. Prayer it works.

Hi there,

I'm doing my 2ww now. Just had 3 embryos transferred yesterday. My husband won't let me off the couch! (except to go to the bathroom). I've been drinking water, nibbling on pineapple (supposedly it helps with stickiness) and laughing my head off at some of my favorite comedies via Netflix (trying to keep a positive attitude!)  I am also staring at my pregnancy/baby vision board all the time. Maybe that combo will give me a postive on September 10th.
