I did nothing but relax on the couch the whole 2 weeks, i had a bad cold but other than that i was fine. I started hpting everyday from 7 days past transfer and it was bfn everyday from that day on... My beta was 6. BFN. I am 25 and my cause for IF is male factor.

and watch a whole season of 24 (which is kind of stress too)
Overall I think I was too stress and was not so hungry.
Did HPT from 9dp3dt and always had BFN...
I would highly recommend to do everything you can to not stress but it is so hard...
Watch some comedy, read easy positive book...

i had a bfp every time but m/c to chromosomal anomalies
i did usual cleaning and cooking ,only took 2-3 days off work ,not because of work load but because my co-workers were from hell ,so did not need added stress
i stopped rollerblading ,swimming ,tennis etc
sam
Sam,
I have a few questions.
How do you know your m/c's were due to chromosomal anomalies? I have no idea why I m/c. They just told me it happens...
Also, after seeing all of you mentioning the # of cells in your embryos, I wrote to my nurse, and she said all my blasts were 5 cells or more. Is this good or so-so?

The one time last year, I got a bfp, I was out of town for work, I didn't rest at all. But tried to take it easy abit at work. But I m/c due to the gestational sac not growing normally.
It would be nice if there was some straight forward rules or answers!

my all preg the fetus was slow to grow they were always 3days to 1 week behind depending on wheni went for u/s ,also the heart beat never went beyond 62 bpm
these 2 signs alone are predictors of trisomies
now this time we had chromosomal testing on the embryos before transfer and 2 out of 4 that were great had trisomies ,while all of them were growing great in lab
usually they say if it does not reach 6 cells on day 3 ore greater than 9 cells on day 3 its bad
good luck,hope that helps

So if mine were all 5 day and they told me that they're 5 cells and more then I should ask for chromosomal testing before the FET?
You know what? I'm calling them, I need more information, don't you think?

My FET, I tried things a little different. I only stayed in bed for 1 day, was only off work for a few days & didn't give up my morning coffee. I ended up with a BFN.

I found that carrying on as normal was the best thing for me and to take the day off work that I go to the clinic for my blood test..... I needed to grieve in private when I got the BFN as it is just devastating....
I am on maternity leave atm so I am going to be really bored, I'll just go to the gym and go for walks of an afternoon to pass the time

I thought that we could see what everyone did during 2WW and maybe find some correlation as to what seems to help BFP and cause BFN. Some questions may bother people, but I do believe every question is relevant. As well I am wondering how many HPT'd but I couldn't fit it in. I also couldn't fit in if you had a BFP or BFN so if you could put that in as a post I would appreciate it.
Please answer the questions as truthfully as possible (even if you don't want to) and we just might find something out!
With Love to All,
Alicia
