I test on Weds...I've had weird cramping too - I'm so trying not to over analyze anything - I do remember being real crampy back in 2004 swearing that I was going to get AF any minute but I obviously didn't.

I honestly don't have any "gut" feelings - I think I've blocked it out! lol

Good Luck to everyone this week!

I just POAS, and it was !!!!!! I'm shaking so hard now I can hardly type. I can't believe it!! Can it really be true???? Am I really pregnant???? After so many months of hoping, I can't believe I'm finally here.

THANK YOU so much to everyone on this board who kept my spirit up during this 2ww. I don't know where I would be without you....

Hoping and praying for everyone!

P.S. I just realized I don't even know who to call at my doctor's office. LOL!

Thanks you guys! I seriously can't believe it! It's beyond unreal. I just got back from having blood drawn; my doctor asked the lab to rush it, so I should have the results this afternoon. I know that tons of things can still go wrong, but right now I'm just celebrating that at least for a few hours I am actually pregnant :-)

for everyone!!

I am so excited for you, I keep on checking back. Let us know what the blood test shows.

I am going crazy today. My breasts are sore today and I am a little bit crampy but I am not sure if this is just AF getting ready or something else. Quite honestly, I haven't had a real "normal" period since I went off the pill, but I don't know if this is a good sign or if I am just having a normal period and the sore breast are a side effect. They just started hurting today. I mean if I was preggers, would my breasts hurt this early - 11-12 dpiui?

The nurse just called, and it's true: I'm ! This just blows my mind. My beta came back at 400 which seems to be a good number. I go in for beta no. 2 on Wednesday July 30th, so for doubling numbers.

Tough one about your breasts being sore, TeamH. Honestly, my breasts never get sore at any time in my cycle, so not sure if it could be a sign, but I certainly hope so! Just a few more days before you test......

Great to hear positive news.

I am still having AF like symptoms. Lots of cramping, some breast tenderness (mostly on one side) and a little *****iness. What is missing is my ravenous appetite that I usually have before AF comes. I hope that b**** stays away.

I can't wait for tomorrow....ugh!

I was so nervous last night that I took the second one before bed and got the same faint positive...I should have saved it for this morning! I was also on a lower HCG (5,000) instead of the 10,000 and it was two weeks ago today.
