Thanks Dana, I need all the +++++ sticky thoughts/vibes I can get.
So far my 2ww has been uneventful. My bbs hurt and are gigantic, but I've learnt that is from the prog. I'm also tired, which is also from the prog. I have very mild cramping which I really can't compare with AF cramps - it seems to rather be my colon and my bladder.
Apart from those minor insignificant issues, I can't honestly say that I'm expecting AF and I can't say that I have pg symptoms. The only way to know is go for beta.

I've been thinking a lot about you lately. You once told me that you are a prime example of stress not affecting 2ww. Just how much stress were you under???? I forget, were your girls from IUI or IVF? I've been here too long now, I think it's time for me too to graduate to the "other side" with the rest of you. It feels mostly that I'm the only one left in this group.

Okay, I do feel miserable - not PMS miserable but rather feeling sorry for myself and somewhat depressed kind of miserable.

So in a nutshell, I'm doing great!!!! Roll on Sunday so I can get the torture part over with.

Thanks for thinking of me!
How are the girls? Getting big I'm sure.

Take care
Helen

Hi Helen!

Well, tomorrow is the big day! Crosing everything for you to get a nice strong beta!

I was under tremendous stress during each of my successful DIUI cycles. Miscarriages, $^#$^%%$ medical staff, stupid delays, extra expenses, waiting, waiting, waiting for pathology and lab results, fear, work problems, home problems, money issues, lack of sleep, pain, etc. I COULD go on! LOL

It was my first injectible cycle, so I was also afraid of 1) it not working, 2) working too well (HOM's) or another miscarriage.

Still, being under all that stress, I did many things to relieve my stress. 2ww's are aweful. It is so easy to fall into the thinking that 'It will NEVER happen.' which you do not know. The key is to stay focused each moment on what you experiencing, instead of projecting into the future.

May you soon be stressing and worrying over the next nine months with the fantastic reward of holding your smiling, cooing little one safely in your arms.

When will you be posting your beta results Helen?

Hugss!
