Congrats WashingtonDA...I am sooo happy for you.....

Good luck to all those testing in the next few days.

I seriously thought this 2ww would be a snap....WRONG!! I feel like a beached whale (still) and getting bigger, tummy hurts, emotional and ready to call it quits...did a stupid thing and did a HPT....bad idea since my scheduled test isnt until next wednesday....I am going to assume the negative was because I was too early and/or the test wasnt sensitive enough...trying to think positive.

Does anyone else in the 2ww feel awful and HUGE??

Crazy but my clinic doesnt do blood work..they just do pee tests....I have read that blood is much more conclusive...I think if I get a positive pee test I will go to my regular doc and get a blood test. I have a friend that had a chemical pregnancy and was totally crushed when the u/s showed no baby. I certainly wouldnt want to go thru that.

Well off to bed...May we all dream of little babies dancing in our tummies..

Blondzella: Yep, It is way too early to be testing. You shouldnt test till 1 or 2 days before you are scheduled to find out....if you are going to do an HPT. Even then it can still be too early. Now, I just need to practice what I preach. LOL I have already stocked up on HPT's. LOL :wink:

Doreen - CONGRATULATIONS! So exciting. Enjoy this time with DH. Any special plans?

Esperenza - so sweet of you for thinking of me. I have sure been thinking about you - the waiting is almost over. Sending positive thoughts your way.

I have been following everyone at least once a day through ER's and ET's and waiting. We are always waiting for something it seems. After my bleeding episode last Sat, I went to my doctor on Mon and they said 1: I am ok and 2: they really don't know what causes bleeding in most cases, but to call if it happens again. The sweet thing the nurse said was, "Don't worry about counting pads or quantity before you call us. We pay someone (a nurse) to answer the phones. We don't want you to worry." She also said not to exercise - which I have not done, though I walked about 2.5 miles around campus yesterday in the frigid cold and that might explain the very watery brown stuff I see today. I'll call and probably have to trek into the Dr's office if it turns red...so in the meantime, I wait.

Washingtonda- official congratulations to you, Mama!

Esperanza- i keep my fingers crossed for you today.

Blondzella- I feel huge too, so huge that I have problems sleeping on my tummy and wear my jeans (and I am not overweight). do you also take hcg booster shots? they might make you feel that way. I feel like my skin is about to split open on my tummy, especially in the evenings.

I have 7 more days left till the test and have no pregnancy symptomps :(, except for that weird episode yesterday morning, when I felt nauseous and almost fainted. Today I was fine.

sorry to disappoint you friends but is BFN for me. I want to cry like crazy right now, but I'm at work and I'm trying so hard to contain myself. We are going ahead with FET. I just need to wait for AF to come this cycle, let it go, and then start the process again with the following cycle (end of Feb/early March). I'm very sad, but I'm keeping my hope up, and thinking that I have 8 snowbabies waiting for us. :cry:

Thank you for the love, prayers and support.

I'll still hang out here...I want to see the progress and hopefully share my bfp in a near future with all of you.

Luv.

Oh no Esperanza, I am so sorry. What a big disappointment. All I can say is that my thoughts are with you, and that I'll be hoping that one of those snowbabies becomes your dd or ds.

I'd leave work pronto and just go home and be nice to yourself. Grieve and then get psyched for round two.

Esperanza: My thoughts and prayers are with you and I am sending you a big bear hug right now. You have such a wonderful spirit. Please know that we will be here to hold you up when you can't stand on your own. You are so blessed to have 8 snowbabies waiting on you. I pray that AF comes along quickly so that you can begin your journey to motherhood with one of your snowbabies.

Esperanza: So sorry that it was not what we all had hoped and prayed for you. I agree with LostGirl. Go home, cry, and treat yourself to something special. I know your feeling down but you are definitely not out. I'm so glad that you already have a plan in place. I will be rooting for you every step of the way

You and DH are in my thoughts and prayers.
