Wow, good to know. 5 years would be a long time to wait though but well worth the information

Well is positive. But not a big one. My beta is only 78 (11dp5dt)which has me scared to death because with IVF number one it was 85 at 12dp3dt and I miscarried. I am very cautiously optomistic. I go back on Wed and Fri.

I requested my records when I gave blood so I should get them within 2 weeks so I can see a new RE. I can't believe after 2 years and probably about $50,000 plus, we still do not have our baby. I never imagined DH and I would be here. We will keep going until we get our BFP!

Jennifer, your courage and your strenght is truly inspiring. Thank you so very much. If you do have to go through another cycle, I wish you the BEST luck. Hopefully you will find a doctor that inspire you faith and confidence and WILL get your BFP that you and your DH are working so hard to get. Tonight I'll have a long list of names in my prayers.

Sleeping is a good sign, I personally think - means your energy may be being used elsewhere (hmmm wonder where...). I will keep my and keep you in my prayers.

Thank you Katy!! I am actually glad to hear I am not the only one "farting" my way through this 2ww. LOL I sure hope this goes away before I start hanging out with people tomorrow. Best luck for you, and I hope you feel better too.

Cath - how are you feeling? I feel like my symptoms are one step behind yours - I noticed you had spotting yesterday - I had some today (pink). Freaking out here inside.. I'm sure you are counting the hours until you have your answer, which I is a . I am so tempted to test - it's going to be a very tough next two days!

feeling ok I just wish I had some devine intervention sending me a signal it worked or not.

My boobs aren't sore anymore just sensitive, cramps on the right side and AF cramps went away this a.m. I had them for about 2 hours this morning. Just had a little brown on the insert thingy for the progesterone.

I'm in a super good mood today which is odd compared to how I've been since ET!!!

Please Please let my body have accepted at least one embryo

I know what you mean about the signal - I've been asking for the same thing in my prayers lately. From what I've heard, I'd say your symptoms sound "spot" on for BFP, especially if you usually get AF on schedule and things don't seem to be starting. I will be thinking about you tonite and tomorrow and sending one up to the big man upstairs for you.
