I can't tell you how encouraging and relaxing everyone's words are to me. Thank you for the encouragement and PMA from everyone.

My beta only climbed to 21 (18, then 19 and now 21). I knew it wasn't going to be a good day. I started crying when I had my b/w this morning. The nurse said (I asked her ...

moorebaby - I am so sorry. I know how devastating it is when it's negative. Take time to soak it in. What's your next step?

AFM - Thank you to everyone for the kind words. I feel like I'm in a daze right now just trying to get through Wednesday. I have a relaxing dinner scheduled tomorrow night ...

moorebaby - I am SOOOOO praying for your BFP today!!!

AFM - I just got the call from RE himself. My beta only went up 1 number. On Saturday it was 18, and today it was 19. He wants to do another blood test on Wednesday to see if it either goes up or down. I'm not very hopeful now. I know there is ...

msmac - Can't wait to see your numbers double/triple too!!

moorebaby - I'm rooting for you also!!! Come on BFP!!!! As far as the call, I would do whatever you're comfortable with. I can't imagine getting that call at work. When I had my BFN last cycle, I cried the rest of the day and was so ...

So I just POAS. The test expires next month and was purchased at the dollar store. There was a line, but it was white, and the rest of the box was pinkish. What in the heck does that mean???

Oh well. I didn't want to POAS and that's what I get. My beta is tomorrow. I'm a little discouraged and ...

moorebaby - They were closer to the blast level, so maybe that's why it's so early. My first fresh cycle was a 3dt, so anything shorter than 2 weeks seems pretty quick to me. And I agree!!! The laying around is WONDERFUL!! I could definitely get use to it too.

blessedmama - GL on Wednesday with ...

karenthescorpio - GL with ER tomorrow!!

moorebaby - I wish my beta was on 2/8. I feel like 2/6 is just a bit early. I usually POAS the morning before, but I think I'm just not going to do it this time. Last time getting a negative was just too heartbreaking. We'll see if I make it until Saturday ...
