Hi Ems,
I test this Friday as well...FET for me as well. However, I will only be 9dpFET....mine were blasts, maybe that's the difference. I have had very little in the way of symptoms as well...slight twinge here or there, some short cramps one night. I don't remember having that the first time ...

Recovering HPT addict...2ww

Ok, so now that I am a recovering HPT addict, I guess I've taken to compulsive symptom checking....
:shock:
Anyone out there had a slight "pulled muscle" feeling in lower abdomen during 2ww? It's not severe at all, but I can feel it in the night when I roll over or when I get up from laying down ...

Thanks Ghost...
I have to say, my crazy behavior was starting to scare me...I can proudly say that I have not called my PCP for the result or POAS since...I've been on the test wagon for 2 whole days now!
I'll wait until my test Friday like a sane woman would...

?GHOST: Cheating on my RE...UPDATE

I asked my PCP to do a serum hCG today at my physical...will get the results tomorrow.
Do you think this may result in a false negative?
6dp FET blast...
Since I'm confessing, I also convinced the lab tech to throw in a urine test along with my urinalysis...negative.

I think I may need some psych ...

Cheating on my RE? Ghost or anyone: Quick question!

Hi Everyone.
I am 6 days post FET (2 blasts) and in the evil 2ww...
I realized that I have an appointment for a physical with my Primary Care MD today, and I would like to ask him to do a serum hCG...do you think this is too soon?
I test this Friday (or Monday, still waiting to hear)...
HELP!!!!!

Jen and Desparado,
This is my first IVF as well...my DH and I are 34, TTC for 6 years, just thought it would happen and then found out his sperm count made ICSI our only option.
I only had one blast put back, with others frozen (not sure how many yet)...seems like 2 is the norm ET on this site and I ...

Hi Desparado,
It IS the waiting that's a killer! I know that God is in control and we will accept the results either way, but I am having trouble being patient, which is usually not a problem for me (BLAME THE HORMONES!!) I was actually much better before I became addicted to the dreaded HPT...

Derparado,
Yes, today is much better...we had just spent 5 days with my in-laws (I love them dearly, but that's a LONG time in our current mental state!) and we are home now. Thanks for asking! How about you? Feeling any better?
When do you test?
Shep

Jen,
Thanks for the encouragement...when do you ...

I'm with you ladies...my emotions just hit all of a sudden this morning!
So far today, fight with my mother-in-law, 1 hour of crying, and a BFN (although, I have concluded if you look at it in certain light, blink twice and squint, you can almost, kind of convince yourself you see a line...) and it ...

Hi Bobo,
Only 3 days left for you!!! I am praying for a BFP for you!
I am actually a pharmacist and I know that progesterone can be a difficult drug to level...everyone is different. I am taking 1cc of the PIO every night, nothing else. The suppositories are tough, I've actually made them before and ...
