thanks

I'm hoping he is hearing either that or he is sick of hearing about it I have a lot of people sending up some prayers for me and Dh.

I almost bought an HPT but I was talked out of it by my co-teacher and DH

Jennifer, I hope those hpts were wrong and you get some good news today.

Cari, congratulations!!!

Cathy, don't give in yet. It might just bring you down. It is still early.

Katy, I really hope you get your bfp!

I had quite a bit of gass right after ET, along with being very, very tired.

I hope everyone else is doing ok today!

Well, I have a confession to make. I scheduled my beta a day early this week so that I wouldn't miss as much work. I had my first beta yesterday morning. I POASed yesterday as well and got a bfn. I also POASed this morning and got a bfn. I went out and got a different brand because my beta yesterday was low positive (35). The hpt this afternoon finally said positive. So I am hoping and praying that my second beta tomorrow doubles or even triples.

Yeah Janice

I'm actually starting to think just maybe I may be pg. but I'm afraid I say that and it will be such a huge let down tomorrow.

I should know by 9:00 a.m.!

Hi Everyone,
I am here with you all. I had my FET on May 9th and on TWW. My pregnancy test will be May 19th and already feeling that it will be the longest wait ever. Congrats to all the BFP ladies. Send all that to us who are still waiting. I've been feeling some back ache and a little stomach cramping. I can't remember this feeling this early with my first one. I'm crossing my for the to all of us.

Jennifer.

I can't believe it. I was thinking about you all day today. I think you are doing the right thing, going with another RE consult. After 17 yrs of trying and one deceased infant.. I know how you are feeling. I still have hope though, and you should too. Please hang in there. Our time will come. Big hug.
