Ladies -

I just got the call and my beta is only 8. My RE said that it could just be a late implanter. I don't know what to feel right now. I go back on Wednesday. Please pray and keep your fingers crossed for the numbers to rise and double. Oh, does anyone have any success stories with this low of a beta?

Thanks,
Nicole

Sue I'll pm you later as soon as my dh is done with his conference call.

Ugh...Can this time go by any slower???

Today, I had to call my RE because my stomach is so tight that it is making it hard for me to breathe. They are concerned about OHSS. It seems to get worse after I eat. I was supposed to go back to work tomorrow but if I still feel like this, I probably won't.

Has anyone POAS lately??

I have been posting a lot today .. because I can't do anything else, but think about this.

So ... I am only 6dp3dt and I bought 6 FREDs today. I used one and obviously it was negative (I think). If I go out into the sunlight and look REALLY hard, I think I might see a very faded second line. This could be a good sign or it could be a sign that I have completely lost my marbles and should be taken away.

I will refrain from wasting another one until at least tomorrow morning .. which I realize is still WAY too early.

I have also eaten everything in the house and the only reason I feel slightly like I might be preggers ... is because I have gained five pounds out of anxiety eating.

Blah ... I"m not sure how to add icons, but I need one that looks like an insane lady.

Tara.

You're right, even if it was completely neg it doesn't mean anything b/c it is way early.

I agree there should be an insane lady - I would add her to many of my posts today LOL. The 2ww is a killer. My anxiety is off the charts too...

I do. They want me to come right away in the morning at 7:30 AM. They are going to do an ultrasound to check my ovaries.

What I have researched, there isn't a whole lot you can do with OHSS except bed rest.

Oh well!

Hang in there Steph and just keep drinking!!!! I know it's so hard to do- I know! My stomach was super tight and I had a real hard time breathing for about 3 days- it took me over a week before I could lay down again- hang in there and I'll be thinking of you! Good news was that I kept the breathing under control and didn't have to have anything drained- hope it works out the same for you! Oh and don't be surprised- if they do an ultrasound your ovaries will be huge- DH said my left ovary took up the entire screen (and I can still feel them enlarged 2++weeks later! OHSS just sucks-Good luck at the RE tomorrow-

Also- congrats on the BFP ladies-can't wait to hear all thsoe numbers skyrocket!

Sue-sorry things didn't work out this time for you- thinking of you-
