BFP



Well, transfer day arrived and we only had 2 blastocysts that made it. We had planned to transfer 2 which meant we didn't have any left to freeze. The blastocysts we had were graded BA and AA, so they looked good. I'm not sure what happened to the other 8, but that left my husband and I to feel a sense of defeat and desperation for at least one of our two little blasts to stick since we wouldn't have anything left to do a frozen cycle later if necessary.

Transfer went well and I felt nothing essentially until four days later when I woke up feeling strange. I felt bloated and fat (I don't usually feel like this, especially when I first wake up), had noticeable cramping and strange pains here and there and my appetite changed...either I wasn't hungry, or was craving foods that I don't eat very often. This went on through the next day as well, so I caved and decided to start testing early. I fully anticipated a negative test this morning when I was testing 6 days after my transfer (and three days early), but it immediately turned positive.

I am cautiously optimistic about this. I know it could be a false positive, but I plan to continue testing until my blood test in three days. In the meantime, I have an appointment to get my progesterone level checked tomorrow, so I might mention it to my RE, but this is the first time I have ever had two lines show up on a pregnancy test, so I'm enjoying the moment for now.
