Today is 6 days after the fet transfer with 3 six day embryos (blastocysts) and my test still shows negative. I woke up with cramps. The rules say, keep doing shots even if you have bleeding until the official blood test pregnancy test, which ours is on Tuesday, the 16th. The hard part is going through with all the shots etc, when you think its pointless and that's why my doctor probably didn't want us to do home pregnancy tests. I like them, so I can mentally prepare. Now that I feel like I'm not pregnant, I'm ready to get all the progesterone and estrogen out of my body and get back to normal. My legs are full of water and swollen. Of course, I will follow the rules and wait...
Those frozen embryos were always on my mind. It would make me feel bad knowing they were just sitting there wanting to be born. I finally feel like our family is complete and we'll finally be able to donate all our baby stuff that we've been storing in our garage which has been taking up all the space.
My sister just texted me asking me if I ever missed my period and I thought she was refering to my fet cycle. My period after taking Lupron was like a drop, but it didn't seem to matter. Anyway, turns out she wasn't talking about me. She was talking about herself! She is 41 and has a 21 year old and a 10 year old, plus a 18 year old step son. Her husband had a vasectomy, which the chances of a pregnancy happening are very rare. I told her to go get a test just incase! WOW!

It's not over until its over. But its good to know you feel your family is complete no matter what.
Not sure whats up with your sister. Once I hit 40 though, my 23 day cycle became totally random with a few 4-5 month cycles thrown in. But I'll also say that having my boys at 43 was incredible and something that will keep me young for years to come (while aging me faster at the same time)
Women are known for droppnig their eggs at around 40. Their bodies are preparing for menopause.
I've known quite a few women who were done and had college age students and elementary age kids :)
Don't feel bad yet. Keep that positive vibe going. I know it's hard. Remember...my 5 day positive was with twins. Maybe your singleton won't show up as soon.
Keep the faith.
