Hey ladies--I know I'm not in the 2ww YET, but I was thinking of you all & sending extra prayers your way....
Jennifer-- keep holding tight to the fact this IS your cycle...You'll be seeing your very soon....

So I'm curious- how many of you are going to POAS....?

[MommyTwingle]

My BETA is 5/12 and yes, I already POAS. I knew at only 4dp5dt it could only say negative, but I couldn't stop myself. I've been having really sharp pains in my sides; right more than left. It's like a stitch that you would get from running. Actually woke me out of a sleep the other night. Anyone else?

I had cramps 2dpt and 3dpt and today 5dpt today was the worst cramps not severe but AF style lasting for 1/2 hour.

My (.)(.) started hurting today I thought with the progesterone they would have hurt before now.

Jennifer (Giggles),

Listen, don't worry about the sore boobs thing. When I was pregnant with Bianca , there were days that I felt I had lost the pregnancy because all my symptoms had gone away for a day or so. I would go from falling asleep ANYWHERE to just feeling fine. My sore boobs would come and go. Plus.. I never threw up in the mornings. I would only get nauseous after the first few bites of food and i'd have to take a break and finish it later.

So see? Everything is ok. Your embabies are fine. go eat something !!



Let us all visualize our big bellies...

Does anyone else have frequent peeing going on? I have had this happen a couple other months, but it's been happening the last couple of days. It's like going once an hour and it's not just a little bit (sorry if TMI). I am hoping it's the start of HCG - they say it can cause that..... Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen before.

I have been going much more than I usually do, probably every couple of hours.

[Katy]

Cool - glad to know I'm not the only one. I was doing some research and there are no good solid answers as to why this might be happening. I am just curious about the battle that might be ensuing if little embie is trying to emplant and my body is giving off conflicting hormones..... Its going to be torture not to POAS.....

Hi Girls I just had my transfer today can I join you guys in your 2ww. My beta will be on 5/19 day before 30th B-day.

[Katy]

Yay Congrats Pris, hoping and praying those embies snuggle in tight!

My beta is 5/19 and I POAS on 5/16. I am 4 dpiui and feeling the itch to know today.

[Katy]

It's a terrible wait, isn't it?! I am now feeling bloated today in addition to my hourly peeing. Its hard to know what's going on though because of the progesterone.... seems a bit early for PMS being on CD21...

Any bloating out there from yall 2ww'ers?

So do you think 8dp3dt is too early to test? I am trying to hold out until Saturday but it is so hard. What do you all think?

[Katy]

Might still be a tad early, but by then the placenta cells should start secreting HCG... Here's something Cathy had posted for a 3dt:

1dpt ..embryo is growing and developing
2dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
3dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
4dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
5dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
6dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
7dpt.. Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells & fetal cells
8dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood 9dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops 10dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
11dpt...HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT

Yea I must look at that timeline a couple of times a day! lol I don't want to get a negative early and get discouraged. I am trying to hold off until Saturday but it is so hard! Other than my first cycle, I would test so early and get so depressed. The 2ww is so hard!!

[Katy]

I know. I feel like I'm starting to get typical PMS symptoms, but I know they can often mean preggers. I usually get them so severe, by a couple of days before beta, I cave in and then start to drown my sorrows.

Progesterone in the past has completely supressed any PMS symptoms. That's the only mysterious thing here for me - I'm on suppositories 2x day and when I was on them 1x day it completely masked my PMS. Wierd.
