Hi.  I had my day 3 et today. I'm curious to know when the embryo will implant into my lining. and how does it feel?  Is there anything I can eat or do to give it a higher chance of implantation? 3 unsuccessful iuis. First ivf, 7 retrieved, 1 fertilized, 1 fertilized with icsi, 2 transferred.

Thank you for being there :)

Hello, I have gone through my first cycle of IVF and often referred to this blog searching for as much information as I could get related to embryo implantation. I promised myself that once pregnant, I would post my experience in hopes to help someone else out there. Most of the comments  I read gave me hope based on what I was going through.
Well, after 2 weeks of finally waiting, I just found out that I am pregnant. Due to a freeze transfer, I am technically 4 weeks along. I experienced slight cramping and lower back pain for days after the transfer and it could have been related to the medication and procedure. 7-10 days later, I felt bloated and cramps would come and go... Finally, the missed period was a big sign but cramps became more severe so thought maybe I would have a period but nothing. I did have some spotting but nothing really heavy until finally I got the call that my levels were off the charts and now going to an ultra sound Monday so see if one or multiples.. (looking for little dots in the uterus to determine this) OMG! Can't wait. Hope this info is useful!

Glad you are thinking positive. I'm driving myself crazy with the wait. 4dp5dFet.  We transferred only one frozen baby.  It was my first ivf cycle. I did the mini ivf in a clinical trial. Ttc 10yrs. I'm 35,and biological clock is ticking. Baby dust blown up in the air and all around for all of us.

I'm on my 3rd IVF cycle. The first time my eggs didn't fertilize. 2nd time 27 fertilized and 2 blastocyst were put back but they didn't implant. This is my 3rd and final time. Later today I'm having blasts put back again. It's all or nothing for me but I have faith. This is my season! I can feel it.

So hold your head high ladies and think positive thoughts. Catch a comedy, hang out at the park or do a little retail therapy. :) Speak life into existence!! This is all our seasons!

Hi miffy, I am turning 42 n had my 3rd Ivf. Quality eggs 9 cell, 7 cells, and 5 cells.  In my 2ww now.  8dpt 3dt. Tested expired strip - bfn.

Now feeling a bit down. Still talk to "embies" asked them to hand on there. Don't let go of me.  Not sure if I implanted.  Breast is tender but keep thinking it is due to medicine.  Told bf tt I may be bfn.  He said its ok.  

Got another 5 frosties.  Not much expectation as they were 4 cells growth when put to freeze.

Not sure wat to feel n wat to say here. Hard to stay positive. No good reason to. Sorry, feeling down.  Need booster now n Blessing

I had my 3dt on the 1st of April and are having acupuncture they told me those things as well, it's is my first transfer 2nd cycle so it's good to read other people's situations as I have no idea what to expect. The wait is hard, so I just keep walking the dog she's getting very fit. Wishing everyone the best
