I’ve been through 1 IVF and 1 FET and currently in 2nd FET 2ww. I think it might be benificial if we can share our symptoms during 2ww (2 week waiting) after IVF or FET.
Below is a list of symptoms that I had during my 2ww after IVF/FET:
cramping
Fatigue
bloating ovaries
headache
low back pain
emotion swing
sore nipples
itchy tummy skin [...]
2WW (2 week waiting) is really tough for us – so much anticipation and so much stress! We want to know if we are pregnant or not as early as possible. So, when is the right time to do a home pregnancy test (HPT) ?
One of my FET buddies, Alex posted a list of day-by-day [...]

Today is my cycle day 14 (CD14). So this morning I had ultra sound and blood work done. I called my clinic at noon and the lining is 9mm and estrogen is 2009. The Dr. and nurse said everything looks perfect and the embryo transfer will be Oct 3 as expected.

My questions are:

Who, in what situations, are good candidates for assisted hatching?
if we have 2-3 [...]

If everything goes well, my ET(Embryo Transfer) should be around Sept. 30 – October 3. This time we [...]
The first Beta yesterday came back with a BFN. It was not a suprise since I’ve done 4 home tests and they were all negative. It’s official – I will have to move on and prepare for the next round.
Here is my FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) protocol:
I will start with Estrodot patches on CD1 and [...]
