I don't think I will POAS becuase I did with the last IVF all it did was start stressing me out starting 6dpt. I also started AF two days before BETA. So I'll just wait it out and pray AF does not show up 2 days before acutal test. Cathy

Whew!! Made it !
Excited to be here! My beta is also on 05/15/08 and I am already wanting to POAS!! Is that sad or what? You girls are gonna have to sit on me so I don't run out and get one everyday lol. So far no cramps for me.. but I have been sooooo tired. I slept all day yesterday after the transfer.. and today I slept again after breakfast. I mean a dead sleep. Then I woke up really hungry. Good signs I hope. Can't wait to hear about the first in our little group of May ladies!

Hey girls,
I'm dying here already too (that's real bad since it's only been 1 day!). ![]() I'm going to try and stay busy this week - been flat on my back in the living room the last two days, just up for food/bathroom, etc. I'm sure DH thinks I'm weird because I'm talking to the embie every now and then, but I feel like its a part of me now. We have been living on junk food here (pizza) - but I did pick up some of those naked drinks - they're great! Best of luck to everyone counting down the days! I hope it goes by fast!

That sounds promising Cath (the pains not the sweat!)
You should be starting to implant right about now, so maybe that was the embies starting! Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I know it's so hard not to think of jumping ahead/next steps. Quote:

Hi Kel - I know the feeling! It sounds like maybe a little constipation, but maybe that's a good sign! I made up a batch of that poop paste stuff and so far its working pretty good. Its not as nasty as it sounds!
I'm doing the suppositories (yech) so can't help you wiht the shots, but I have heard of people being sore from them. Your DH is funny and very cute I have been taking short walks outside since yesterday (1 yesterday, 1 so far today) to keep the blood flowing, but DH doesn't want me to go very far. My job is mostly a seated kind of job, so I think for the rest of this week, I'll just take short walking breaks outside. There is a really cool site where you can look at pictures of embryos dividing, becoming blasts, etc: Embryo Pictures from In Vitro Fertilization IVF Quote:

Thanks SO much for sharing, Jen! I will definitely buy this!
How are you doing? You must be getting very anxious about testing! How do you feel - any signs yet? Quote:
