my symptoms day by day before my BFP on FET #2!

Laura • Mon, Oct 03 • Unexplained infertility. Both 32. TTC 5 years. July 16` IVF w/ICSI. Aug FET #1 BFN / Sept FET #2 BFP!

Sorry for the delay but here are the symptoms I experienced each day. This was my second FET. The grade before freezing was 5AC and after being thawed it completely hatched on its own. I didn't use a hpt, already spent way too much on IVF/FET. My first FET that failed, I followed all the "rules": pineapple core, warm feet, soups, no cold foods or drinks, lots of bed rest, etc. This FET (last embryo in the freezer), I did not care anymore. I ran, I drank coffee, I had ice cold smoothies, I just didn't care anymore.. my heart felt like it was just over for us. But crazy how things work out, 5 years of unexplained infertility, our last and final hope... it works! Of course I'm careful now and eating right and doing less intense stuff! I hope this helps anyone that is looking for something to compare your symptoms with!
