Sarah: I'm sorry that you got a BFN. I understand not wanting to read these boards..it begins to take over a bit. I wish you luck and hope you take some time for yourself.

Suzhan: I know, isn't it nice working and not being on bedrest!!!?? Can progresterone really cause all these symptoms?? My boobs are really hurting today and I am a little crampy. I just thought that since we started progesterone last Monday, symptoms would have showed up then versus just showing up now?? I might cheat Sunday and take a HPT. Are you going to test early????

Good luck with everyone having scans tommorrow!!

Hope everyone has had a good day. I'll catch up later, but wanted to post.

I had my 2nd beta today and it was 6940 so it had more than doubled. We are scheduled for our 1st ultrasound Dec. 11.

I have been trying so hard not to get too excited because it's still so early, but it's hard-and I am starting to get excited.

Hi gals...

Cheeky: just need to get some of the good follies to grow, grow, grow. Looks like you have some pretty good "follie" dances goin' on! looking forward to hearing about your scan on Fri

KF: so glad you are feeling better!

Noodle: good luck on EC! Impressive meditation...maybe dh and i should try that...

Suzhan: i think the whole boob thing is a good sign. After my one ET, my boobs never really became sore at all. I woke up every am checking ot see if they had grown (hoping i would at least become a full A-cup :wink: ), but nope, nothin'. So good luck!!!!

Sarah V: just in case you peek back in.... I am so sorry to hear the news. I am heartbroken for you. Please give yourself some time to grieve before making any decisions.

Jsm: congrats on your good beta!!! That is great news!

To all BFPs awaiting scans... wishing you one (or two, or three???) good sacs!

To all 2ww'ers....wishing you all the patience in the world!

To all my fellow stimmers...happy stimming!

Vicky-good luck to you tomorrow. Can't wait to hear how it goes.

Meg-I know your numbers will go up!

Cinders-My 1st beta was 2490, and this was my 2nd. They told me after the 1st to keep in the back of my mind it could be multiples, and this time she told me maybe I should move it to the middle of my mind-but not the front yet!

My scan is on the 11th and she said I would be 6w5d so we would be able to hear the heartbeat(s) hopefully. I think that will make it seem more real. I am looking forward to that.

Good luck to everyone stimming-hoping for lots of follies.
Everyone in the wait-thinking lots of good thoughts for you!

Cinders101--Remember if you do cheat and take an hpt that a negative does not mean the end of the world. My doctor made sure to stress to me that hpts only pick up the beta hcg when it's around 30-40. You are considered pg if it's above 6! When I went in to do my first beta on Tuesday, they had me do a urine test while I was waiting and the doctor claimed she could see the pink line but she was the only one. Then I came back positive with 10. HPT are evil, so beware!!!!

Sarah - I'm so sorry for your news, I had truly hoped your numbers would improve. I completely understand your desire to take some time out - enjoy your break and hope to see you back when you're ready.

Cindy - Sometimes I think I'm literally losing my marbles over this....I'm much too obsessed with every cramp and kink. My bb's still seem large, but they're really not sore, so I don't know what to make of it. I'm not cramping, but I get these wierd tugging or pulling 'pains' in my lower abdomen sometimes when I stand up or move it certain ways. I feel like I should remember what it all means, but in all honesty, I don't. DH reminded me that when he drove me to the first beta in our bfp cycle, I was convinced it hadn't worked because I 'didn't feel anything differently'. He said I didn't get the real sore bb's until about 1 week later, and I think he's right. But, hard, sore bb's was definitely a symptom, so if you've already got that, I'd say it's a good sign. I've been thinking about the hpt, but am debating because of how I'll feel if it's not positive. I think it's still a day or so too soon, maybe Fri or Sat. I still haven't even made appointments for the beta's. I hate that they draw it and don't process it until they get the second one on Monday.

Cheeky - another 'air brained' example today - walked out with only one earing on and spent the day (apparently) looking like a pirate....lovely that nobody told me until the afternoon! Hope the follie cheer is now in full force! I do think acupuncture is good for pre/post ET. The scientific studies really have only been focused on pre/post ET and show definite improvement with proper acu before and after ET. The TCM doctors also insist that their impact can even be greater when treatment starts a couple of months in advance.

Vicky - good luck with your scan tomorrow - enjoy!

Serena Anne - Welcome to the crazy 2ww and this thread! Best of luck to you!

Take care everyone,

Suzhan: That is so funny about your earrings. I always tell people when they have something in their teeth, etc. etc. I know how you feel I'm analyzing a bit. Do you think we could test already on Fri or Sat?? I was thinking Sun AM only because I didn't want to get the call at work and be upset..so I figured I'd rather deal on Sunday. Do you think our clinic really doesn't run it until MOnday or maybe they do run it and just don't tell us until Mon? I made my appts and they are making me come in at 7AM on Saturday. I asked if I could come it at 10AM (as I'd like to sleep in a little) and she said no because it has to be done early. So, I was thinking that maybe they do run it, but just don't tell you? I'm starting to wonder if my boob issue is from the progesterone. I read on line that it closely mimics preg symptoms..what do you think?

Angie: Of course you can join our thread!! I had my transfer on Thursday (Thanksgiving) and my boobs became sore yesterday (Tues) and today. But last night I noticed the vein thing. I don't know. Could progesterone do that too??

Now I'm getting inpatient..I just want to know.

Sarah, So sorry about your news. Please stay strong. I'll be thinking of you. Take care. (((hugs)))

Meg, Great news! Congrats on your BFP!!

Welcome Angie, Good luck with your 2ww!

Hey sassy, here I am. I sent you a PM earlier. I have an US tomorrow. I'm feeling a little icky today. I don't know if it's the meds or this chilly weather. Probably both. They said it will get into the freezing temps tonight. I was out in the wind wraping my 2 citrus trees in plastic and adding mulch to the other trees, hoping to protect them from the cold. How are you feeling?

Hi all just got back from scan and everything is fine. We saw a picture of our little blob and its lovely. I can finally start to feel excited. We have another scan on 21st Dec to see the heart beat so probably lots of worries until then but hopefully a nice christmas present.
