3You're Not Alone
This phase is a marathon, not a sprint. Your body is doing incredible work. It's okay to feel tired, emotional, or overwhelmed. Rest when you need to, celebrate each milestone, and remember that every person responds differently.

3You're Not Alone
Retrieval day is big. However many eggs you get, your body did something remarkable. Rest, recover, and be gentle with yourself. The number matters less than you think right now.
Embryo Transfer
1What to Expect

3You're Not Alone
Hope meets reality in this moment. Whatever you're feeling is valid. Some feel hopeful, others feel numb or anxious. There's no "right" way to feel after transfer. Your emotions are your own.
Two-Week Wait
1What to Expect
- •Waiting for beta test date (typically 9-14 days after transfer)
- •Analyzing every physical sensation (we all do it)

- Symptom tracker (if it helps you, not required)
- Crisis support resources always accessible
3You're Not Alone
