Crista - I am so sorry to hear your FET was unsuccessful. It sounds like you're keeping you head up though. It's wonderful that you can start another fresh cycle next month already!

Gina - hope you and your embryos are doing well!

We've decided not to POAS this time. I prefer to stay in my "I might be pregnant" fantasy world as long as possible.

to all!

Carina--I am not sure why we have to wait 'til 10/1 for the Beta... It does seem long. I had Day 6 blasts also... I think that I'll POAS Thursday-Sunday (just because I have the 4 dollar store tests).

I feel like crap today. I am really crampy and it seems like AF is coming.

When I had my successful fresh cycle, I did the home test a day before the Beta.

Gina--I did feel achy the day of and the day after. Then I felt nothing. Now yesterday and today I feel PMSy. It's the meds, I'm sure.

Crista--Isn't it isn't relief to be off of the meds? I am so glad that you and DH are looking forward. It's also neat to hear that you are an educator, too!

I was a bad girl yesterday. After all of this POAS talk, I couldn't help myself. I had 1 HPT left at home and I used it...and got a ! I figured since my FET was on 9/18 and they transferred 5-day blasts, it wasn't too soon to test (looks like some of y'alls REs don't make you wait the full 2 weeks like mine)! I'm excited, but not going to get my hopes up too high. I will POAS again this weekend to see if anything changes....my first beta is scheduled for 10/2. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!

PixxiDust - That is wonderful news! I think that you can go ahead & get your hopes up because unlike with IVF cycles where we have FSH is our system there is no reason for a false negative. CONGRATS to you & the hubby! How exciting!

Great news, PD! Keep us posted.

I've had the urge to POAS too, but I am going to try, try, try to wait until Thursday.

How are you feeling?

How about you other ladies on the 2ww? Any symptoms (or lack thereof)?

I just heard from my RE re: this mornings estrace & proj. tests & he told me that he is moving my pregnancy test up to Fri. 9/28! Thats only 7 days post transfer! I am so excited that I don't have to wait it out through the weekend!

Good luck to all of us!

Thanks everyone!!!

CQ: My symptons so far are weird feelings in the abdominal area (kind of like hunger cramps), hunger (more so than usual...lol) and I feel warmer than usual. I think those are good signs!

PixxiDusst- Congrats on the !!!

Crista-I'm so sorry for your news. I'm happy you will be able to move on to a fresh cycle in Nov.

Carina- congrats on having your PG test moved up to Friday!

Now, I'm a member of the 2ww club! Everyone else in the club stay strong and think ++!!

Congrats!!


Congratulations Pixidust, you are our first, I'm sure there is more to follow. How many days past transfer did you test? My beta is on 10/1, I'm gonna try and hold out till then too. Don't doubt yourself for a minute, you are pregnant!!!

Hope everyone else is doing well, I'm sure we'd all love to hear from anyone with symptoms and when then started feeling them.

I too feel hungry all of the time, especially in the morning, and I feel like I need to pee all of the time too. I'm putting the hunger down to the progesterone. No sore boobs at all though. Anyone else???

And so the time slowy ticks by..............

Symptoms: I still have sore boobs and intermittent cramping.

I bought 2 FRED tests today (in addition to my $ store tests).

I planned a semi-busy day for tomorrow so that I am not CONSTANTLY thinking about if I am pg or if I'm not. I would just like to *know* so that I can proceed with my life... Y'know? Arrrrrrrrggggggh!

KARI-You have some amazing willpower, I don't think that I could wait.

Disney- I'm glad all went well- You are in the club now.

Queen- My BETA is 8 days after a 5 day transfer. Good Luck if you break down and test.

I could not sleep last night. I thought after all this lining problems that I would be so relieved just to have finally the transfer. Now I'm so obessed with thinking about it. I want to test now and it's only the day after. I think I will try Sunday. I want to to know before the BETA. I figure if I get a then I'll be prepared, even if it is too early. I feel like I have to throw up this morning- aww the nerves. I hope going back to work takes my mind off of it.

Don't worry Mom2Davis, I know that nerve thing too. I swore I would not test before the Beta, but I have to say my willpower is breaking down. Wirking will be a good distraction.

Kari, and news yet, did you break down and test or are you waiting for the Beta? Let us know
