To Abstain: An IVF mythe Or Not?

 Doctors did not really mention that we should abstain however they did not mention that  going for a swim and going to the sauna is a no no either until I asked them.  So I guess googling for more information is not really that bad.

I have read that it is best to abstain until we see the first heartbeat through ultrasound.

It is has been nine days past our blastocyst transfer and I have calmed down a bit and stopped taking HPT twice a day.  Although now I keep on wondering if our two little Eskimos are still in my uterus and if they're growing beautifully together. This waiting game is a pain in the butt.

Also, I still have cramps which I spend my days lying on the couch lately. I'm really getting bored of this but I will have to endure.  At least now we have something to look forward to.

Monday is a holiday and my GP is on leave, I will have to wait until Tuesday for another blood test to see if my HCG has more than doubled since last Thursday. I can only hope so.
