IVF Cycle Question

what was the most unexpected emotional during the wait (the time between the embryo transfer and the pregnancy test), and what is the one piece of advice or coping strategy you wish someone had given you before you started? #askmommies #ivfcommunity

The most emotional part for us would be the daily calls after egg retrieval telling us how many little potential babies we had. We had 6 eggs retrieved and only 2 made it. Everyday we dreaded but also anticipated the call. It was a very tough time. The time between embryo transfer and preg test was more of a wait and see. I kept busy and didn’t strain myself. Ate healthily and just put faith and trust in my doctor. I actually tested a few days before the actual beta hcg test and got a positive cos I had symptoms. So that helped to “cut” a few days of anxiety. Wouldn’t recommend it because not 100% accurate hahah. Good luck on your ivf journey!!
