Yeah, it's a pretty anxious time! I don't feel anything much but kind of hormonal and the constip thing is back again (sorry tmi). Just ate a few teaspoons of poop paste... I am going to have to bring it to work with me tomorrow! Hope no one decides to eat it for their lunch...

Cath & Jen - you both have a great outlook on this 2ww. I pray daily for my embie, as I'm sure you guys do too. We actually have its picture up on the refrigerator!!! DH told me that he kissed it goodbye when he went to work yesterday...

Unhappy Feeling Fat

Ok... am I the only one that feels like a pig? I swear I have gained about ten pounds since I started this treatment. I look so bloated its really depressing me. I just wanna go out and do some exercising, but everyone says not to because I'll disturb the embies and God knows I DO NOT WANT to disturb my sleeping babies. Anyone else??

please??

anyone?

I think we all feel bloated and fat. It is completely normal. I have gained probably 20 pounds from IF treatments over the last 2 years! I wouldn't risk exercising after going through all of the treatments. You will have plenty of time to exercise once you are preggo for a couple of weeks. Just relax and know that you are doing the best thing you can for those babies!

Thanks so much for sharing! We need all the positive vibes we can get. Wendy - I feel your pain, I have gained about 30 and am sitting here at work today feeling enormous, almost embarrassed to get up and walk to the bathroom!

On a side note, anyone get any wierd pinching like pains today or in the last few days? I am hoping what I was feeling about an hour ago was implantation and not lunch pains or gas!

Hi Girls,

So I am having a hard day today. I have been pretty positive and I am starting to freak out. My boobs have been sore up until today. They are just slightly sore. I am worried that this is a sign I will get a negative. I have been on/off crampy and emotional so I would say that is a good sign. I just don't know. I am now 7dp3dt. Do you think sore boobs can go away and still get a bfp? My first cycle where I did get preggo, my boobs stayed sore the entire time. Any reasurrance would be great

I know sore boobs is often a sign, but not everyone has that happen. My only experience being pregnant involved slight nausea but never sore boobs. I am sorry you are having doubts today. From what I hear crampy/emotional is a very good sign. My sister said hers was like PMS from hell the month she got prego.
for you...

Sore Boobies -

Yesterday - no sore boobies -
Today !!!WOW!!!


WARNING TMI!!!!!

Also they are almost darkening around -

My DD (6) said, "Mom why do they look like the Target sign?"

I just had to cover up and hide them.

I was afraid to laugh - for fear it would hurt with the movement!!!

Thanks Katy. I keep reminding myself that there is nothing I can do and it is in God's hands. I really feel like this one is my cycle though. I am just trying to stay positive and not let doubts fill my head.

I am offically here...

My 5 day transfer was on Cinco De Mayo!


I have a severe case of cabin fever!

I need to get back to work - so I can try to think about some thing else besides the 9 days until I can know.

I have my first beta on 5/14 at 6:45 - but we do not get to know the results!

I have a first knowing beta on 5/16 at 6:45.

I wonder how long it will take for them to call after the testing!

I want to POAS.

With my daughter we did it and it was +. I do not know what day it was!

Megan

I am
