Hello I was the same. I was too scared to wee and was bursting to go but the wee wouldn't come out! I think I'd scared myself so much about going so I was really uncomfortable on my way home after transfer. My transfer was 1st July and I got a BFP a couple of weeks later. I've switched to de-caf tea (Tetleys do a good one) and alternate that between those, fruit teas (also caffeine free) and water.

I was lucky to have two weeks off work after transfer so spent time at home resting but also doing little bits and bobs around the house.

Keep us posted with how it goes. Fingers crossed for you. Xxx

Hi Ro5ie I think the ET date is day 1 but I may be totally wrong. I had mine on 1st July and had to do a test on the 14th? I did a test myself (actually did two just in case!) and both were positive. But my embryos were transferred at day 2 rather than day 3 or 5.

Sounds like you have some nice things planned with your 2ww. It does go quite slowly because you just want to be able to do the test but try and relax as much as you can. The 2 weeks will eventually pass! please keep us posted on how things go and I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Xxx

Hi.

In regards to how old the embryo is:

egg collection day is day 0

After transfer day they then say 1dp 2,3 or 5dt

Hope that helps a bit?

My understanding is that they calculate it all from EC rather than ET. This is a useful site as it has an IVF pregnancy calculator.

fertilityfriends.co.uk/inde...

Copy it into your browser and enter your EC date and it will calculate due etcs once received positive result. It also differs for twins etc.

hope this helps with your dates.

thats what i thought from day of EC i got 9th august to test but the clinic have said 12th august Ive had a 5 day transfer xx

Hello, I was told to test 14 days after ET too. I expected it to be from egg collection. I suppose the extra few days just ensure all the meds are definitely out your system and that you get an accurate result. Best of luck with your 2ww. I found watching box sets really helped!

P.s. Try not to test early! x
