Hello everyone. Well today I am 5dp 3dt. I'm feeling af cramps. Also it may sound weird and I would like to know if anyone else has had cold like symptoms also. I've noticed that when I get out the shower my nose begins to run a little and also this morning I my nose was a bit stuffy. Now no cold symptoms which is bizarre because they are on and off. Is anyone else going through this?

I'm sorry too Heather, but I'm still hoping you get your BFP. Not to be gross, but are you having pink spotting? I usually don't and have had a lot of pink spotting. I think it's the progesterone holding off AF but I'm having breakthru that is the start of AF, but don't know for sure. I asked RE to bump up my beta but they haven't gotten back to me yet. I did buy some pee sticks for tomorrow AM just in case they don't. I feel like I just need to move on. I am like you - don't know what I'm going to do next either. I'm sorry to hear about your sis (I'm happy for her, but you know). My sis is pregnant too with her second and it only took them 2 tries. I feel like I'm beyond heartbroken. Now I'm just pissed. We are unhappy with our RE's lacksidasical (sp?) approach so are going to shop around. I don't even know what his plan was if this failed (BCPs, etc). I suggested we do a natural cycle when I left the message, b/c sometimes I hear BCPs supress you too much. DH was like, great, so that's another 60 days.... I feel like he'd like me to go straight into another IVF cycle, but frankly, I don't know if I can take it.

I'm sorry we're both in this same boat. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. What are you doing to stay sane right now?

We jumped straight to IVF thinking this would be the best route for us only to have my twin sister get pregnant with IUI on her 3rd try. We're not sure what to do. We shall see.

Katy,

I'm not ready to give up on you yet. It aint over til its over. I'm sitting here with no symptoms now at all other than feeling fat. I'm scared of thursday and too scared to POAS.

Hi Katy,

I am very excited for my sister because I know they have been through quite a bit to get prego, but I wish we were pregnant together!! Today I did feel depressed and sad which I know is normal. I know medicine can only take us so far. I just wish they could figure out what our problem is. I had a c section myomectomy to remove 14 tumors in January 2008. I had to take 4 months off to recover. I thought that may have been our problem, but maybe that is only part of it. I don't know. Perhaps our doctor will have more insight for us. I am not sure what we will do next.

My flow has been pinkish, redish and brownish. It's been a normal flow for AF. So much so that I have had to use a tampon. It's not just spotting although I wish it was.

I wish you the best of luck Katy! I can feel your pain!

TO ALL THE LADIES THAT MIGHT BE LOOSING HOPE,
It is so possible. I had a chance to be a mom after 15 years of trying. I had given up hope but one time i just started feeling horrible pain in my abdomen. That pain was like a message from God who led me to a wonderful doctor. I am now a mom to a beautiful 7 month old baby girl. Just pray and relax. One thing I believe in is that God is watching over all of us. I'll keep you all in my for the

2nd beta just in....173 at 13dp5dt. Still cautiously optomistic. Nurse said its normal to have low betas in a FET. I go back on Fri for last beta and if all goes well then we will schedule 1st u/s.

I'm starting to have heart palpitations. I go in for my beta tomorrow and I'm not feeling optimistic for some reason.
