Well ladies it seems like we are all making progress, and while the outcomes arent always what we hope as long as we keep doing everything we can possibly do its still progress. I am so happy to know all of you and to have the support of you ladies and It is great to talk to people with similair feelings and problems and SOLUTIONS! I just want to tell you all you have helped me more than you will ever know and I love you all!!!

*TMI ALERT*
AFM I am not feeling to good today I still have a headcold but am more concerned about the cramping and just yucky feeling in my abdomen. Yesterday I used "the bathroom" for like the first time since tuesday, so I was thinking thats why I have had such crampy, feeling like gas kind of pains. But I still have it today which worries me, its not like extremely painful it just feels like achy, crampy, and when i sneeze or couch it feel like the muscles in my tummy are sore. Im really starting to freak out thinking when i get there tomorrow its going to be a no go sorry for the TMI

[Tresina]

Dani good luck with your results tomorrow

Reissa good luck with your US tomorrow!!!

Hoping2b I think those tummy feelings are normal... I felt the same after retrieval and actually still feel crampy and sore. Good luck with your ET tomorrow!!! (Also made my mom go to the grocery store and bring me over a container of prunes I think all these meds are a little binding)

Preg mentioned
DKthePK I'm with everyone else ... betting you have 2 beans!!!!

Jamielynn I think it's great news that your BETA doubled... hang in there for you

AFM - trying to conquer this 2ww thing..... I'm so bored with not much I feel safe doing thinking I'll go to a movie with DH and maybe stop at a store and buy some more sticks to pee on Even though I have a pretty good stash already ....

[dani120702]

hoping ~ I was very sore even on transfer day. I didn't know how I would get through it and expected it to hurt. I didn't feel a thing. The next day I felt a lot better. I just wanted to let you know that you shouldn't feel the transfer at all. I am sorry you have a headcold that is not fun at all.

[hoping2b]

thanks tresina and dani nice to know im not the only one lol i tend to panic

[Riessa]

Hoping2b, hope your cold is better and that you’ll be in great shape for tomorrow. As for the crampy feelings, they are normal. I know it’s impossible not to worry, but it really is normal. You may continue to feel crampy for a while yet.

Jamielynn and Dani, there are some very hopeful stories on the beta board where numbers started real low and ended 9 months later with a perfectly healthy baby. One posting from just yesterday mentioned that an RE had predicted a 60% chance of ectopic and he was wrong. Sending positive vibes your way.

Melbswan, I have no doubt that somehow everything will fall into place. In the meantime, I’m praying you get a chance at an April/May cycle.

Ladybugs, just thought you might want to update my info as my transfer was a day 2 and I have 0 frozen. I think you are amazing keeping up with everyone and keeping statistics too! These boards are amazing, but most especially because of dedicated people like you. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING you do!

Tresina, thank you. Cabin fever already, huh? It does get boring really quick. I think a date with DH is perfect!

[LJ13]

Ladybugs: Could you update my frozen info. Dr. called to say I have 13 frosties.

[PinkTinkRN]

Hi Ladies,

Child mentioned:Sorry I have been MIA! My DS has been sick, I didn't even go to work lastnight. Probably headed to doctors in the morning.....hope I don't catch it!
Child mentioned finished
Hoping2b good luck with ET! TMI: The progesterone makes me miserable! I stay constipated! Stool softners, prunes, benefiber.....you name it I tried it..lol STILL only every 3 days do I go....blah! I probably need to drink more....I hate water ALL the time!

Good luck to all the u/s's and Betas tomorrow!

I am with everyone else! Doubling is the key when it comes to betas!

Sorry I am not great with the personals! I read all your posts and you are all in my thoughts!

Preg mentioned:AFM: ofcourse I have been POAS like crazy...I did slow down to one a day..still +! I changed my beta day to tues instead of monday because I work nightshift tonight, BUT I think I might try to go Mon anyway....suspense is getting the best of me. I do have occasional cramping (but I think some of it is constipation related) but mostly I have been having backaches, and waves of nausea.

[Tresina]

PinkTinkRN - Good luck with Beta

LJ13 13 FROSTIES!!!!!!!!! YAY



just got back from the store so now I have -- 3 EPT -- 2 first response -- and 2 digital clearblue easy -- tests to pee on. I get a couple of these to show a BFP I feel I'm due for some good news

[LJ13]

Tresina: I had a total of 13 sticks until I peed on one this morning. Not really sure why I chose to torture myself like that. It's only 4dp5dt of one embryo. Of course it was negative. I'm just not really handling this 2ww very well. I have no signs of being pregnant but I'm driving myself crazy trying to feel something. Our betas are the same day but it feels like forever away!
