Hope your all ok, I started the beginning of this week as a psychotic hormonal mess and then got 7 eggs and only one fertilised I had no hope and just told myself to be strong.
Whilst hubby was crying and feeling sorry for himself as we think his sperm can’t activate the eggs.
I was told I would have a day 3 transfer in the back of my head I thought it’s not even going to survive.
We got a call today to say the egg is doing very well and is at the 8 cell stay.
Transfer went well and I even got a picture from the lovely nurses.
I have to say I was really scared about the transfer and my bladder was about to bust.
What I’m unsure about now is what do I do?
What do I not do?
A big thank you and lots of love for supporting me xxx

Ah great news! I have no real advice regarding what to do or what not to do. I just acted as if I was already pregnant, other than that I carried on as normal. The waiting got tough towards the end but you'll make it. Good luck! xx
Hi, wishing you loads of luck hun. Did they give you any info on what you should and shouldn't do? Like no hot baths, intense exercise etc? I ate pineapple for a few days (old wives tale) I chilled out (as per lol) I ate plenty of fibre and drank protein shakes. I didn't do anything too differently, but my life is pretty laid back anyway. Xx
Hi strong-girl. Just want to wish you well this, and remember that years ago we did many Day 3 transfers as we didn't have the expertise to go to Day 5, and I had many live births. your embie is back inside you where he/she belongs. Thinking of you. Diane
Well done you 🙂. I hope you don't find the tww too bad & you get a BFP at the end of it. A 3 day transfer worked for an old bird like me so keep positive 😘 x
Hey i’m a week ahead of you as has ET last Friday - i have taken this week off as the extra sleep and lazy mornings have been lovely as i’ve not been sleeping too great at night. I want to go back to work next week as missing being around people and need a distraction - just be kind to yourself and do what makes you happy. My consultant said avoid spa or sauna and being around any solvents or paints ... not sure if this helps x
Iv heard also that avid spas and swimming, I feel really sleepy so going to try to work from home mostly
Well done. You are now PUPO - pregnant until proven otherwise. So yes, act like you are pregnant. Don't eat off food and don't lift anythi g heavier than 5kg. Oh, and of course - relax and don't stress. Xxx
