My 2ww are dragging and I've had ups and downs emotionally... it is driving me nuts, I hope is a little easier for you than it has been for me. I keep trying to look for signs, msgs from God, from my body, from everywhere!! LOL It is driving me nuts!

I hear ya Mari78, talk about signs from God. I was shoe shopping the other day and happen to have a conversation with a little boy, who was maybe around my son's age maybe a little order. (let me preference it with, since TTC #2, I've been thinking about Naming our next son, Noah, I just like the name) well anyway, the little boy in the store says "hi," I said "what is your Name?", and you will never believe this, he said "Noah". Ok, I'm taking this as a sign. Boy isn't it funny the straws we grasp on to when doing IVF or other fertility treatments. I sometimes wonder if I'm going crazy.

My ET was on Sat 05/17 at 8.30am so I think today makes 2 days or is three post txr? Well I started having light cramping at 4:40am both nights and today is the first day I have had on and off cramps all day. I know everyone says they had cramping but is this to early?
Just now I had cramps that lasted about 5 min but alittle bit was really strong. This is so horrible and scary. Sometimes I have burning also in my stomach. Ever since the ET I have also had alot of gas(sorry tmi) anyone else?
I am analyzing everything and maybe thats why I'm going nuts. Please tell me I'm not alone and there are ladies out there who have gone through all this.
I/m just scared cramps are too early in the process.

Melanie I don't know about the cramps, it could also be constipation from all the meds. The reason I say this is coz I have had on and off cramping since before ER. I hope you feel better soon. The 2WW is I guess the hardest of this whole process. I notice we have our Beta's on the same day too. I just had my ET today and I am just going to take it easy for the next couple of days. I just thought I would stop by and join the 2WW thread.

Congrats KellyD!!! You are !

Cathy, what the heck was you MIL thinking? As if this isn't hard enough, the waiting and more waiting! I'm sorry she did that!
I know your numbers are going to be high tomorrow!!!

Pris, I'm so sorry about your bfn. I hope you can do something for yourself and have some time to heal.

Migmel, I have had gas since the ER, at least more than normal. I'm not sure the reason. I had cramping during the 2ww and have some twinges and weird feelings even now. Good luck!

Hey Barbara! How's the 2ww coming? This has got to be the one for you!

Well I had my 3rd beta yesterday and it doubled! It was 561. Maybe I really am pregnant!!!

Cari, you are so pregnant! You numbers are higher than mine!

Hi all,
I know that there is a little cramping after ET, but the minor stuff went away d2. Starting today d4pt I am having intense cramping worse than any AF cramps (not that I cramp often). The pains are shooting down my left side (back) and around my lower tummy. Constipation is not an issue this time, but very gassy. Anyone with similar complaints

migmel and Josephine, I never had cramps that woke me up, but I had weird twinges really early on and light cramping. No intense cramping at all, just dull achey type cramps. I had a little constipation, but not much as I was eating poop paste. I did have lots of gas and still do.

Mama2Caden, I think that that boy named Noah WAS your sign from God!!!
Something similar also happened to me, the other day I was eating with DH and then a woman with 3 kids that I never met before and I started a conversation. Her little daughter that had about 7 yo came to me, put her little hand and ears in my my belly, then looked at me in the eyes and told me, "You have a baby in here!!!". I told her "maybe" she said yes you do. Well, I choose to see that as a "sign" and not as the lil girl saying you are wayyyy too FAT. LOL Her mom was bigger than me and she wasn't preggers.
Like I said... looking for signs from God and my body everywhere. Hope those were our signs.
