Unfortunately the only way you will really be able to tell is to wait
for the blood tests. I did IVF twice and felt almost the same after
both; the first didn't work, but the second did. If it didn't work,
you'll likely start bleeding in about 2- 4 days if you are right now 10
days post retrievel. Hope it works for you!
