Okay, this is my FAV. thread in the forum and pretty much the only one I write often and read often, it really brings me confort.
Today one the things I was day dreaming about is how I will tell my DH and my parents and sister that I am preg. when the time comes. (Hey a girl has the right to dream right?!!) With my parents and sister will definitely have to be through the phone since they are so far away, and to DH I am not sure... just wanted to be special.

Between my daily naps (I seem to be sleepy all the time and with low energy, I think I might be anemic) I was looking for cool t-shirts to give to my family because Think this would be a fun and cool way to show them my appreciation through the this whole IVF thing and because everyone wants a baby soooo much!!! Anyway, since i don't think I can post any links in here one of the sayings that i'd buy for DH is "Daddy in trainning" so cute, looks like the coke logo. One for me would be a tattoo looking heart that says Mommy, for my mom "World's best grandmama" or "Grandma and loving it" for my dad "Coolest Grandpa"

If I get a BFP I'll buy a t-shirt for everyone for fun and so they can feel a part of it too?! I think it may sound way too cheesy, but after so long I think I have the right to be cheesy right?!! Anyway.. just part of the dream.

How is everybody feeling? I'm doing okay so far, but am already getting restless since I'm still on home rest. What (other than the forum) are you all doing to keep busy?

Hi Lua!!!!

The cramping just lasted one day, but it was intense. Today is all gone. Just going crazy watching every twinge.

I watched movie after movie. I thought I was done with the resting but I've been cramping so much the RN said to stay off my feet as much as possible. Today is day 5 of transfer and I'm gessing this is expected.

I am in a POAS nightmare. I wish I had never done it. It is a bfn.... over and over! I will not do that next time for sure. Way too stressful and it can just drag out the heartbreak. Although I guess if you get a bfp on an hpt it would all be worth it!

I recommend not doing it. Your beta will be here before you know it. HPTs aren't as sensitive as betas anyway, so you might stress out for nothing. In most cases by the time you would get a positive home test it would be beta time anyway.

I've been having cramps every day since my transfer. They are not terrible, but a constante pain and sometimes they get a little worse.
This 2ww have been really tough and I am obsessing about it like crazy. Honestly there's nothing else on my mind no matter how hard I try. I've been renting movies, reading 1 book every day and plus organized a 4 days trip to Paris next week (to either celebrate the baby or to drown in my sorrows) but honestly, I can't think of little else other than my Beta.

I sincerely hope you girls are doing better than me, anxiety is driving me nuts and I am pretty much driving my DH nuts too.
