Now all the praying starts!!!

Good luck!!! Sticky vibes! Will you POAS?

Keep us posted!

That's awesome! Putting 5 in, maybe you'll have triplets or twins, what a blessing! Looking forward to an answer!

I want to POAS tomorrow but I dont remember how long the HCG injection stays in your body???

Please don't. It's way too early. You will just drive yourself crazy and spend a lot of money. Wait at least a week after transfer.

My second cycle I did POAS and got a positive. But when I went to the clinic, the numbers weren't good. We tracked over a few weeks, and the numbers never improved. I had a chemical pregnancy. If I hadn't POAS I wouldn't have gotten excited and hopeful. I would have known from the clinic to be more wary.

If you have to do it, at least give your body a good amount of time post retrieval.

Just my opinion.

Thanks for the advice JillM, I definitely agree. My friend here at work just gave me my progesterone shot and she told me the same thing, so I am going to wait it out.

Hey commandz I just noticed u are in Dallas, a little slow on my part. What Dr did you use for your IVF? What part of Dallas is he in?

Yes I am in Dallas I used Dr. Guerami at the hospital formally
Known as Presby Dallas. I forgotten the new name.

I have heard his name before. I work at Baylor so at first my insurance said I had to use a Baylor doctor (which there are not very many fertility drs on the Baylor plan that I have heard are any good). But I was able to get pre-approved with Aetna to use a Presby Plano doctor.

Wait the 2 weeks. I got a false negative 9 days after and was so depressed the rest of the time. Could not have been more surprised when it turned out positive, and was sorry I tested too soon, all those tears shed.

Did you fing the retrieval difficult? My first IVF cycle (pre-pouch) was so easy. But I am in a lot of pain post retrieval and the nurses don't have any experience with Jpouchers. I am now scared to go ahead with tomorrow's transfer! Any opinions/advice would be appreciated!

Any chance you have Hyper Stim? I had some pain and symptoms post retrieval on my second fresh cycle and had hyper stim. You should talk to the drs asap - you may be able to postpone transfer a day or two (depending on how many days you are now). I was in a 5 day transfer cycle and we postponed one more day - transfer was successful and my daughter is now 4 1/2.

Thanks for replying. No I didnt hyper stimulate - they told me during collection that all looked great. I only had 7 follicles. 4 fertilized and today I go for my transfer of 1 or the 2 embyos that are viable. I see you had your pouch removed. Wow that is my biggest fear - especially with a possible strain like pregnancy. It is very comforting to hear your positive outlook on having it removed.
