ammu - I was able to hold out on doing a HPT mainly because I stayed away from the drug store and grocery store. Dh did the shopping the last week so I wouldn't give in to temptation!
symptoms? Well, Every day I kept justifying everything I felt to the shots the ER, the ET, sore bbs, bloating etc . I was really worried because I had AF like cramps and light spotting the last 3 days. I was so focused on the Beta test I forgot to ask the nurse about it.
Good luck - hope your thanksgiving wishes come true

How's everyone? Hope you're all hanging in there. I did another HPT, and again it was negative. I don't know why I am torturing myself, but I just can't help it. I'm hoping it's still a little too early. I had my first beta today, but doc doesn't give the results until the 2nd one, so I'll know for sure on Wednesday. With the negative HPT, I don't have my hopes up.

We are off to a good start this week though. We had 3 BFPs today! Yay!

Well... I have insomnia again. It's 3:15 AM where I live right now. I just read on the Internet that this is one of the side effects of the progesterone shots I'm taking. I also think it's just me anxious about testing tomorrow. I can't believe the time is almost here!! Cornbaby and Jenilu- are you gals ready???

I am not doing any HPTs I've decided. I was thinking of doing one today, but for some odd reason, I am able to wait until tomorrow. I figure what's one more day, right?

Right now I can't seem to decide if I want the nurse to call my DH or me with the results. At first, we thought we would have him get the call since I don't want to get too emotional if we don't get good news. (I will be with my parents and sister who are visiting from out of town.) However, then I think I will be able to handle it and just want to know right away.

Anyone here thinking of having your DH get the call??

Ok.

So this was my dillema this morning: to do or not to POAS tomorrow?!?

Im supposed to do it on thursday but you can imagin e the temptaion to do it ealier!
I know it's only one day more but that one day feels like an eternity!

Just spoke with my sis-in-law about it. She encouraged me to wait :?

I think now that the time is coming closer and closer we feel more impatient.Today i went to boots to buy my clearblue test.

I was told to do it at home and call them with the results.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

Ann D - I can reltate to the insomnia. Mine unfortunatley was compounded by horrible acid stomache pains where I was doubled over from 2-5am the morning of my first Beta. I guess I was more nervous than I wanted to admit and my body was taking it out on me!
I was up about the same time for the last 3 nights before the 1st Beta.
Even worse, my dog got used to waking up and going downstairs with me when I couldn't sleep. after BFP yesterday, I can't remember sleeping so soundly! Apparently Ginger our dog got up at 2:30 and harrassed my DH until he got up and let her outside. I was so sound asleep that I didn't hear a thing! :lol:

Hang in there!

Ann D - wow, I can totally relate to the insomnia. For the past week or so, I have been waking up every night at about 1am and not falling back to sleep til about 5. I am doing the progesterone injections as well and had no idea that insomnia was a side effect. I look like crap and have dark circles under my eyes now...I hope not permanently. :) As for the news, I am going to have them call me. I am working from home tomorrow, so DH and I will be together, but I am a control freak, and I know I am going to need to hear the news with my own ears to believe it, no matter what the results. I also have a feeling that I will have questions, so I've decided I want to be the one to take it.

Anie, I know the test is tempting. I have done 2 of them, both came back negative, so I don't recommend it! All it really does is make you play mind games with yourself. Ever since, I have been trying to convince myself that it was too early, and it's just too much for me to bear. Hang in there one more day! I bought a box on Sunday that had 2 tests in it, so luckily I don't have any more to take. Now I just have to stay out of that aisle in the store when I go tonight. That's going to be the really hard part.

Well Ann D and Jenilu, we're up tomorrow! I'm praying that we have a repeat of yesterday with BFPs for all!

Lots of hugs and baby dust!!!

Hi everyone,

First of all, a HUGE CONGRATS!!!!!!!! to all this weeks BFPS!!!!! That is so exciting, you all must be over the moon. I hope I can share in your joy in a couple of days.

On the subject of POAS. I have to say...DON"T DO IT! I was obsessing over hpts for a few days and it was making me so miserable. I seriously poas more than 2 times a day. (I had some internet cheapies as well as EPTs!) I realized yesterday its so not worth it, it really does mess withyour head, because even if you know its too early to rely on it it still knocks the stuffing out of you and takes away some of your PMA every time you look at a negative test. I finally told my DH last night to hide all my hpts (I have no control) Today I haven't tested and the suspense is killing me but feels WAY better than feeling like I have a BFN

Anyway, thats my 2 cents worth. I know as well as anyone how hard it is to resist. Stay strong ladies. So little time to wait now.
:D

I'm with nicaliw on this one. If you can stand it, don't do it! I did one the past 2 nights and both were negative. Luckily I don't have any more in the house. It was hard but I managed to get in and out of the store tonight without buying one. Now that I'm home I know I won't go back out...so I think I'm good until tomorrow. The suspense is KILLING me. And DH is working tonight so I'm home all night with nothing to do but obsess. It'll all be over tomorrow thank goodness. My boobs are killing me, but it's the same pain as my usual PMS, so I'm not putting much weight on it. And I had 2 negative HPTs...so I don't have my hopes up. Every once in a while I get a little thought that maybe I am...but I am trying to stay grounded and realistic. I can't believe the torture!!!

Sorry to go on and on...
