2ww FET Question Ghost or IVF nurse or anyone?

I know this question has been asked 1000 times, but I had FET, 2 expanded blasts transferred and I am 8dpt. I have my beta on day 11, but I have been getting BFN's on HPTs, not even a glimmer of a line...
Shouldn't I have seen SOMETHING by now?

Hi Ladies,
Sorry, I've been away and work's been crazy! (That's not true...I've actually been in a stare down contest with a little plastic stick wearing a pink hat for the past 3 days.................the stick won.)

Glad to hear everyone is doing well...

Hi Kim,

I started a book...actually took a nap today...the next few days, just trying not to work. Last fresh cycle was cancelled due to OHSS, and I'm not convinced the ridiculous work stress I was under didn't contribute...

I am on 100mg PIO, just one daily. I can't imagine twice a day!!! The ...

Hi Everyone,
As I anxiously ponder the onset of yet another glorious 2ww tomorrow...I thought I'd start a thread for you to post your most obsessive, compulsive 2ww acts of desperation... :D
I consider this therapy for anyone in the dreaded 2ww, and at least a laugh for those anticipating it or who ...

Hi Ghost,
Thanks for all your words of wisdom...
I am in the midst of my 3rd IVF, 5d transfer tomorrow :lol: , on PIO since retrieval.
I've had what I would call mild OHSS symptoms (they retrived 24 eggs, similar to my first frozen cycle) abdomen bloating, mild pains in my back and belly, but I ...

Hi Everyone,

Looks like things have slowed down a bit...I can finally keep up with all your posts!!

Ruby: That's such great news about your DH...this whole process is so crazy that the stress truly brings out out all of our fears, emotions, etc. Just remember it is in God's hands and he already ...

Hi Everyone,
Valerie and Chris, so sorry about your news...you're both in my prayers.

Ruby, sounds like you're doing well, but they have you on a quicker plan than my clinic. My stims started last Friday, the 9th, so I am scheduled for ER around the 22nd. Last time I went about 3 days early, so who ...

Ruby: Sorry, just reread your post...that kind of absent mindedness is exactly what I'm talking about!!
Congrats on your follies!!! That's a great number! Did they predict Friday originally or do they think you're going a bit early?
