So, yesterday I started having some cramping n and off throughout the day. Last night I started spotting again. It is not too bad but I am worried. I go in for Beta 4. Do you all think think is normal? Or do I have reason to be concerned?

I'm sorry. It probably is harder once the shock wears off. How long will it take to pass?
talk to your mom and sister - maybe they can comfort you.

Spotting is soooo common for IVFers. It's hard not to worry though. hang in there!

Yeah, our tissues are soo artificially built up it's almost impossible for our bodies to maintain it. My RE told me 50% of IVFers will spot.

Hey Cathy! Dont read too much into signs/symptoms. I was SURE 13dpo that I wasnt pregnant. In fact I posted about following FET in my next cycle! I didnt have sore boobs, no cramping, no rise in temp, I was feeling very energetic etc etc. But look where I am right now!
Keep the faith honey

Rachel, dont worry abput the spotting! As Traci said, it happens to a lot of IVFers! Best of luck for your beta.

Irena, I cant even begin to understand the pain you are going through.... You are such a good cheerleader for everyone, Its ok to feel miserable about others success once in a while. I am myself so wrapped up in my aches and pains and my worry over the triplets (I dont think i can handle trips!!) that its difficult for me to post on these boards... I read everything but hardly post nowadays. infact I started the due date buddies thread, but did not want to post there as yet.

So I hear the word 'TRIPLETS' and I actually hear the word 'PIGLETS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then I get these weird images of a big fat sow lying on her side and her three pink piglets sucking !!!!!!!!!!!
Egad!!!!
Traci! You dreamt of a kitten litter...I think I am having a PIG litter in real life!

Your BBT will drop during implantation as well, until your progesterone levels are 'rescued' by the placenta.

thanks everyone

I am a basket case. I really thought I'd be ok if it didn't work out this time cause of the cell division of the embryos. I am so tired and quick to tears. I even massively messed up our check book and it is is the negative. I have a whole week before I get paid. We are making a mad dash to the savings account and putting in money but ughh what a bone head I forgot about a 500.00 check who the heck does that!~!!!
