Yay to Sparkly & Tracy!! That is so awesome!!

Jaslin, I'm sorry, but I also would wait till beta to be done with this cycle...it happens all the time that people get a positive beta and a negative hpt (happened to me in October).

AFM-- I am not having any symptoms at all...my bbs are not even sore anymore. Hard to be hopeful, but I am holding out little bits of hope till Sunday...this process is so emotionally exhausting.

Hang in there! It's perfectly normal not to have any symptoms. Remember most people don't even know they are pregnant this early.

To all of you waiting for your results I wish and .

Don't count yourself out just yet, it's not over til the Beta. If you need to do another cycle you should have a consult with your doctor. This is my first cycle and since it was almost cancelled twice, my dr's already pointed out that we will do things different next time. We're here to help you through this no matter what but like I said don't give up. It could be a bad test or something. I have my you get a surprise tomorrow.

They also said that they were not going to measure my hormones/beta levels again unless they can't find anything in my uterus next week when they check to make sure the pregnancy isn't ectopic, which I guess is really different from how they do it in the U.S.

I need to continuing taking the pills and the shots until week 12, and I can't work out at all until at least then, (can't even fast-walk, apparently), can't do too much housework (--they must not have any idea how unlikely it is for me ever to do housework...) or for some reason take baths for more than a few minutes, but otherwise, so far, so good.

I think I'll wait until next week to really get hopeful, but I do feel really thankful that it's gone well so far.

Anyway, I'm sending out good wishes to everyone!

Tracy
awesome Tracy! Congratulations!!!!!

I'm so sorry. I noticed you are in CA. If you don't mind me asking are you in So Cal? If so, what clinic do you go to? I'm in Orange County and go to Coastal Fertility in Irvine. I just love it. If you are un happy with how your clinc covered your cycle I would get a second opinion but that's just me. Again I'm so sorry, it hurts so bad.

Lauren, I am not POAS. I didn't during my FET and it really helped with my thoughts staying postive. However, I wasn't on these boards during my FET and these boards have caused me to really start rethinking and wanting to POAS. I'm going to try to stay strong. I made sure I didn't have any in the house, that temptation would be to great to handle. Do what you think is best. =) I'm with you though. Too scared it would be negative, I'd rather wait for the BETA.

Huh?

So I have been POAS every day since Sunday, when I was 4dt3dt to see if the trigger was out of my system. Since then every test (just one a day) has had the same barely there faint line. How long can the trigger stay in my system (was triggered May 29)? I've been using FRED it it matters.

I worked today and wasn't able to check our group, but WOW- lots going on!! I'm heading to dinner so I can't write much, but I wanted to let all of you know that I'm for you, no matter where you are in your cycle

I keep POASing and getting a I'm 8dp3dt, so I know that there's still time, but I'm devastated. I can't help but wonder what went wrong. It's hard not to get wrapped up in my pity party, but I think dh has heard enough and I needed to vent.

Have a great night, ladies!

The office said not to expect a phone call until after the 2nd so they will know if it doubled or not. If I called today they would tell me. I am trying to decide now if I should or not. My left boob is killing me today and I am still dizzy. I am just not ready to hear if it is bad news. I am sure they are getting ready to close so I have to make a decision quickly. Any advice?
