I had a strange taste in my mouth, felt kinda weird in my stomach - empty sort of & was having hot flashes yesterday. I was sure that these were all signs that I was pregnant, so when I woke up in the middle of the night with a sore throat & bodies aches I was sooo sad & disappointed.

This morning I broke down to my DH...and he said "are you crying cause your sick?" I said "no I'm crying cause I am so disappointed & obsessed with this situation that I can't even sleep." I told my girlfriend on the phone this morning that while I was lying in bed last night I just kept on thinking " please don't be sick - I can't be sick & pregnant". I don't know why I was thinking that? She & my DH are reassuring me that it means nothing. I am just sick because the cipro wiped out my ammune system. I hope they are right.

I am really depressed today & continue to obsess about wether our not I am pregnant. This is so overwelming. I just keep on looking at my daughter to remeber how lucky I am. With my DH track record of sperm counts in the 6M range we could have never been able to have her 40 years ago. But its hard not to desperatly want to give her a sibling. Especially as most of the mom's in our playgroup either have their seconds already or are pregnant. Two of them just got pregnant in the past three weeks. I know I should not be feel this way but its so hard.... Friday can not come soon enough. And I am now aware of the fact that I am going to be allot more depressed if this didn't work then I had previosly thought.

Good luck to all of us!

Oh Carina--I hear ya, sister! I feel like we're in the same boat. I think that I'll be able to handle a negative result better this time because we have our DD.

Gina... Yes, I did break down and POAS this morning. It was . I used the $ store test, though. Also, this was the earliest I've ever POAS (all of the other times I've done 1-2 days before Beta). Since you said that your Beta was 8dpt, I thought I'd give it a shot.

This morning my boobs don't hurt, but I still have the mild cramping and I am bloated in my belly. ****, these meds! As if the 2ww weren't bad enough, I don't like feeling so NOT in control of my body.

Emotionally, I am okay, although I'd just like my answer so that we can start thinking ahead

Crista, I am sorry to hear your news. I hope you and your DH are doing ok. Good Luck on your fresh cycle!

I am for all of you that are in your 2ww!

I just had my lining checked this morning and all looked good! I am just waiting to find out what my Estrogen levels are, but the nurse said that we look good for a transfer next Friday, 10/5! Getting excited.

Just checking in!

Carina-hope you are feeling better! My DD is sick right now, and I am just keeping my that I don't get her cold. I'm with you and CQ in your feeling that you won't be as disappointed, because we've already got our beautiful DDs, but as much as I try to tell myself that, I'm sure it will hard news to swallow if it turns up BFN this time. I want so much for my DD to have a sibling, too.

Has anyone else with little ones found it hard to be on "bed rest" and not being able to pick them up? I was told not to pick up anything beyond 10lbs until PG test. My poor DD is so sad that I can't pick her up. I just told her that I hurt my back again (I couldn't pick her up in Aug. when I had a back injury) and I think she understands.

CQ-sorry your test was not the result you wanted today, but don't give up!

Tanya- GL on your ET next Friday!

Stay +++ everyone!

Disney - I have been cheating in regards to picking up my DD. I was really good the 1st, 2nd & 3rd days, but after that forget it. I am at home with her by myself all day & found it impossible. I find comfort in the fact that many women have several children, so how bad can it be to continue to care for them while conceiving? If this doesn't work maybe I will feel regretful, but I dought it, because I really felt that I had no choice & I have kept it to a min....

Good luck to all of us!

CaribeanQueen - keep up hope! It was really early to check. My friend checked at day 7 & got a BFN, then was BFP at the 10 day serium test at our RE's office. She now has the cutiest little boy to show for it!

Tanya - great news with the lining. We're all pulling for ya!

Carina- I felt like I was reading my own post. That's all I could think of last night. I can't seem to get my mind off of this. It took us 7 years to decide to do this again. I thought it works- yeah if not oh well. But, now I realize that if this doesn't work it's over- I won't have another. And yes I'm so grateful to have my DS but gosh darn it after all this time, please let it work!

I so felt like I had morning sickness this morning. I know that it is imposssible this soon. I did pray- God give me a sign to quick obsessesing- maybe it was a sign.

Queen- Keep trying, some of those tests aren't as senisitve as others. I'm going to try that first response one that says 5 days sooner. Maybe Sunday.

Tanya- Yeah on your lining!

Disney- My son is 6 so he just knows that mommy went to the doctor and theDr said that I needed to rest.

Well, I hope tonight I sleep better. I'm going to go now and push on my boobs until I think that they are sore.

Kari, it is the big day! Sending ++++ thoughts your way!!

I'm having trouble sleeping comfortably, too. I'm a "stomach sleeper" and have been trying to avoid sleeping on my stomach since the transfer.

This is the last day of my modified "couch rest".....it is going to be hard to go back to work tomorrow with my active 3rd graders! Oh well, at least it will be Friday!

I did something stupid- I tested this afternoon. What was I thinking? My transfer was Monday, if it was a good idea then they would have me at the RE already. I just got this sinking feeling today. I tell myself theat I had that same feeeling before about my lining and that changed. AHHH!!!

Kari- any news?

We received a today. Deep down I think I knew it. I was in tears on my way to the clinic already this morning.

I keep trying to remind myself that we have 2 more frozen embryos left. Maybe next month......

I wish all of you the best of luck! to all!

Carina - good luck with the test tomorrow, I'm so excited for you. We both transfered 2-6 day blasts on 9/21, I don't test till Monday - nice long obsessive weekend ahead, maybe I'll do a HPT on Sat ot Sunday...........

The fact that they moved your test up to Friday is a good sign I would think.

Let us know you results

We could all use a little positive news to keep our hopes up.
