I know it is all in God's hands!! I just stress when I shouldn't. I totally agree we have done all we can do, the only thing left is lots and lots of praying.

I have had dull on/off cramping since the ET but today I woke up with stronger on/off cramping. Do you all think that is implantation?

Jennifer, on Friday I'll start my 2ww and I have a couple of questions for you and any of the girls who would be willing to answer them. Is POAS the home pregnancy test? And what means these numbers? 10dp3dt? Are they the days after implantation?

So how's everyone feeling out there in the 2ww?
Anyone feeling any different?

I feel slightly emotional as of last night and a bit hormonal - like waves of hormones fluctuating (DH thinks I WAY overemphasize things and am ultra dramatic!). I think it's way too early to feel things either way - especially being on progesterone - it tends to mask any symptoms, especially of PMS. But I do detect something - I am hoping it is little embie starting to find a spot to attach....

How are ya'll doing?

POAS= Pee on a stick, home pregnancy test.

10dp3dt would be 10 days post 3 day transfer. You don't count the transfer day when you are counting. Hope this helps.

I am doing good. I had a couple of really down days but I have had some clarity. I figure if the embies are going to implant, 1. they will and there is nothing I can do to make them 2. They would have already by now so there really isn't anything I can do. I have been really emotional, crampy on/off, having sharp pangs/twinges in my abdomen. I am convinced this is the cycle for me so I feel more at ease.

I'm feeling pretty good. I don't even have sore (.)(.) from the progesterone! No more AF cramps either. I'm 4dpt and I test on the 13th only one more week. We already have said we'll try one more IVF in June if this one doesn't take.
