So I POAS this morning and it was negative. I am so sad. I was so sure this was going to be my cycle but I guess not. I am going to POAS tonight and see if it changes to positive. I don't have much hope for a positive. It should have at least been at 25 today. I just wish I could get past this part of my cycle. I have had 1 BFP and it was almost 2 years ago. I haven't seen a positive POAS for sooo long. It is so depressing. DH and I have decided that we will be switching RE's and plan to consult with new RE's ASAP.

I know I know but the thing is my clinic does not really recognize betas under 50 so if mine won't even register 25, that doesn't look too good. I am ready to immediately cycle again but I am so deflated. I just so needed to see a positive after so much time, effort, money, etc... It is so hard to take.

I'm distracting myself Cabelas is opening here in Maine on Thursday and we are going Friday afternoon. I'm looking up shoes and sandals. I'm a fluffy lady so their clothes don't fit me so I compensate with shoes

Hey girls, hang in there - I'm with ya on the on/off sore/symptoms/no sympoms,etc Jen, I'd definitely give it some more time, there's a lot of gals who get the BFN....BFP. you both get your 's soon!

Massive PMS continues today with me....cramps just about all day, moodiness, boobs spilling out of my bra and I feel like a blimp. This AF oughta be good (or preggers, if thats what this is). I went and did some outlet shopping therapy - more being bad. When DH came home, he was going to put some hot dogs on the grill (it was 5:30) and I was like, what are you doing, is this supposed to be dinner?! DH was like, "you had better be pregnant the way you have been talking to me"! I guess I have been biting his head off lately....these darn meds!

It still could be too early. I was doing alot of research on negative HPT but positive betas and it happens alot!!! Try to hang onto some home.
