2ww
Dear 2ww,
You suck! I'm blessed to have made it this far, O time spent in you is loonnng and agonizing. So here's to the count down of my final week....here's to being hot, tired, oily, picky (eater), horny, crabby, obsessive and crampy. To alternating between elated and depressed....and to the best of it all eventually you END! sincerely, MRB! I feel better. POAS today it's still early only 8dp3dt according to my chart I should be just starting to make HCG so will try again on Tue. if neg then I'll be very tempted to have coffee and chocolate...  Beta is Friday

I'm totally with you! The 2ww is the hardest! I've just had breast tenderness and some irritability, the same signs that I get with PMS, so its quite frustrating and scary. I'm 7dp3dt and beta is on 10/1.
I'm scared of the results and also can't even wrap my mind about the possibility of the nurse calling to tell me it could be positive, as I've never heard that yet. for all of us.

Hi Ladies!
I just wanted to check in to see how everyone is doing? I'm trying to hang in there...but of course, its very hard to do. No changes in symptoms, other than my boobs aren't as sore anymore. I'm trying not to let that concern me, as I know that symptoms can come and go, especially while on meds. I'm now 8dpt3dt and continue to take estrace 2x day, endometrin 2x day and pio nightly. Wishing everyone

2ww is torture!
Ok, thank you all for posting because it has helped me realized that anything can happen during this 2ww (I'm 3dp 3dt). I'm finding that I'm alternating between hope and despair.
My body aches, my breasts are soooo tender. And last night the PIO shot HURT afterwards. After a few days where it didn't, that sucks. I really want to take a relaxing hot bath but was advised against baths. (Anyone else have knowledge around that?) Can't get a massage. Can't do strenuous activity. Arrrgh! All my normal stress relief tricks are not available! I'm watching silly movies, reading fun books, and trying to be compassionate and kind with my body right now. I'll head back to work Wednesday which will distract me, but I'm afraid of the irritabiltiy! Anyone have other concrete stress management tools they are using right now?! Best wishes to all.

juliannrose- I think the hot bath thing is so that you keep your core temp down. It is so hard to cool once it gets high... don't want to cook the embies..
AFM: I'm doing fine PEO shots are getting easier since I now sit on the heating pad. I have sore bb's but I'm sooo crabby and I'm really struggling to find my positive attitude. Crazy progesterone...I'm ready to drink coffee, go to the gym, and do some heavy duty yard work...just ranting...I won't I'll be good we have too much at stake here! but I'm with you all this process SUCKS!! I'm POAS again tomorrow 11dp3dt....I'll let you know--thank you for listening it really helps to be able to talk to people who truly understand all the ups and downs!

Hi Ladies.
Just looking for some support right now. It's been a rough couple of days, and my emotions are getting the best of me-it all feels like pms to me, so I'm so frightened. With my previous 3 ivf cycles, my period always started the day before or the morning of my beta. Right now I am 10dp3dt and it feels like forever. I'm just too scared to get the results, as I can't imagine a nurse saying "congrats...you're pregnant" as its never happened before, its always the "I'm sorry, you're not pregnant." I've been having a lot of sad spells, less boob soreness, mild low back pain, a headache and a bit of nausea, of which the last 2 I think might be stress related since my nerves are as high as can be. Sorry for venting, but I really just needed someone to hear me out and maybe help to give me a bit of peace of mind. Thanks.

Marta.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means so much. I'm at work all day today and its hard to stay focused. I'll have to watch something silly when I get home. I that at least one sticks. Thank you again for writing back.I don't think that I have the never to poas, so I will wait until Thursday when I have my beta. I told my husband that I won't answer my phone since I need to be with him when I get the results. After 3 previous tries, its pretty hard... When are you in the 2ww Marta?

Sharon, I had bad headaches with my BFP, and I usually don't have headaches, so hopefully a + for you!
I don't know about the POAS, I haven't done it with any of my other cycles, but there is one in my cabinet, so I am tempted to do it tomorrow. I had my first BETA today, but my clinic doesn't tell you until the second. I did have cramping/bleeding/spotting this morning, which I also had 9dp3dt on my BFP cycle, so I am getting my hopes up now.
