I've been on bed rest for 2 days, not total bed rest. Yesterday I ate my meals downstairs at the table and was up several times. However the first day I only got up 4 times to go to the bathroom. I've watched several movies and read one of the Shopaholic series books. I still have the movie Troy to watch later today. My back is very sore from being in bed all day, I don't know how people do that long-term. I could not lay flat on my back the entire time, I did turn to my sides a lot because it's just too uncomfortable flat on my back. I hope the embryos didn't fall into the fallopian tubes. I'm also hoping the fact that I'm up and about won't disturb the embryos since today they are only blasts and have not yet attached.
Today and tomorrow I'm going to take it easy - alternating between laying down and sitting. I figure by Sunday it will be okay to get out of the house and go to church or something. I have to go to RMA anyway Sunday morning for a progesterone and estrogen check.
I'm doing a lot of positive affirmations "all is well", "thank you for the triplets", "thank you for this pregnancy", etc. and trying not to think of what we'll do "if". For the most part I've been successful. I'm thinking of myself as pregnant and hoping for the best.

It's so good to hear from you; I've been thinking about you! I know you were disappointed but I'm glad you're thinking positively now.
Have fun with your continuing rest and keep it up with those positive thoughts. You're in my prayers.

I'm sorry...I know it feels like a punch in the gut when you get that call "none to freeze" but remember the best ones got transferred into you. I'm rooting for them to take hold, and good!
I've been thinking of you and I'm sorry I'm behind on your posts!!
Being on bed rest is difficult, our minds tend to wander and that's never good. Like you, I always wonder how people who are bed ridden manage!!
I'm sending you lots of positive thoughts and praying really hard!!
P.S. Thanks so much for your comment! Someone else recently told me I look like her, too!! Ha.
Relish the rest! If two stick, you're in for a heck of a ride :-) I'm sending good thoughts your way...call me if you need to talk!
So glad you made it through the transfer and are now PUPO!! It is really hard to think about no backup frosties, that happened my first DE transfer too, except I had only 1 embie to transfer. I'm hoping with my whole heart at least one of your embies will stick! Good luck - and try not to go insane during the 2ww!
