    If transfer was Thurs afternoon do you class that as a day 1 or Friday as day 1?

    No symptons, dont feel anything apart from the odd twinge, trying to remain positive.

    I thought egg retrieval day is 0DPO, and transfer day doesn't matter?
    You must be 7DPO now:)

    Thanks for all the congrats guys. Everything went well, a really long latent labour, a short hard labour and a wonderful gift at the end of it. We were really well cared for throughout the pg and had a little extra care for coming through IVF, which was comforting.
    We stayed in hospital for a few days as baby B gave us a horrible scare at 24 hours old, but we're all clear and home.

    I just wanted to express really how hard the journey has been and how much all your support has been appreciated. There have been so many times that I was upset or confused, and all I could think to do was to come and let it all out here. You never let me down with advice or words of comfort and I hope I have been able to help you the same way.

    Cliche as it may be, the hard way I have got my precious gift has all been put aside for me now, and I'm even left appreciating the things I have learned and seen that couples who get pregnant the regular fertile way have never experienced. My partner and I are a force to be reckoned with and I know from experience that we can get through anything that life throws at us. Our baby was wanted and is loved. We have monitored her progress from the first developments of those eggies and got to see her grow scan by scan until we met her.

    I hope you all get the families you long for. You aren't going through things the straight forwards way and the experiences are tough but you are all wonderful people and deserve your end results. Please remember the success stories when times are hard. All the best to you all - I shall be keeping an eye on you (in a non-stalkery way I promise).
    Am not witty enough to put something cool and informative here:o :o

    Congratulations Jibs - a gorgeous baby girl, and I love the name. May you all have a happy and healthy family life togetherXXXXXXX

    Juju, it is counted from egg collection, everything else is irrelevant. As the poster says, keep calm and carry on!!!
