Hi everyone-- I am currently in my 2ww of my first IVF cycle. We had 2 fresh blastocyst transferred this past Tues, so I am 4DP5DT now. My ovaries were pretty swollen after my ER and through my ET. I have suddenly started feeling like normal again (9 days post ER)..ie, my abdominal swelling is significantly better today, not as constipated anymore. I was just wondering if this is all normal or if this may mean that the cycle didnt work???? I have read that the ovaries can stay swollen and tender if you are pregnant but mine seem to be much better now! I still feel a little bloated and my breasts are very tender... Can this still be a successful cycle?? I guess I feel lilke I should still be feeling all of those uncomfortable, immobilizing sensations if it really worked... Can anyone help calm me down while I wait to test??!! Thanks for any advice you can give to this IVF nervous newbie!!

I started to feel like my old self about 6 days past retrieval. I am currently 7 days past day 5 transfer and I have gotten 3 very light positive pregnancy test over the past 3 days but I still don't know if I believe it, I go in for my beta on Wednesday. So don't lose hope because your feeling better. Wishing you the best!
