There is really no way to explain the absolute hell that is the "two week wait" after an embryo transfer. I really didn't understand what could be so bad about it. I mean, it should be exciting! You made it this far, you have an embryo in you... you just have to wait.
Ha.
It has been such an emotional roller coaster. I went from the lowest low where I'd cry and be sure that this did NOT work to being on such a high because I "just knew" that I was pregnant. Up, down, up, down. I felt out of control of my emotions and the twisted part is that your body is playing all sorts of tricks on you because you are doped up on estrogen and progesterone. Dizziness, sore boobs, headaches, hot flashes... everything that points to pregnancy except that you can't believe a damn thing.
You are between two huge extremes. You are either going to get the absolute most amazing, life changing, joyous news in the world OR you are going to deal with another blow, another set back, more tears. The difference between the two outcomes is staggering.
I think that days 3-5 post transfer were the hardest for me. The closer I get to beta day the calmer I get. What is done is done.
Now we wait and pray.
