RIO - as always, thanks for the list. :D

Lovebug - I will be on 3 days "strict bedrest" which will bring me to Sunday. I'll take it easy Sunday, but I too have to go back to work Monday. :cry: What time is your transfer tomorrow? Mine is at 7:30 PST, so I'll be sure to post when I get back. Hope you will do the same. Can't wait to hear how many you do! I am still hoping to have 4. :shock:

Hello ladies,

Have been away with DH for 2 days - him working, me relaxing and shopping!

I go for my beta on Friday and have managed to stop myself from POAS

Congrats riogirl - that is fab news!!!!!! :D

Doddo - I had a blast transfer, I haven't had much cramping but what I think that is from are my swollen ovaries

Lovebug - I was told by my doc that the best thing to do for the swollen ovaries was to drink as much as possible and that would flush the toxins out.

Anyone having really bad dreams?? Maybe it is the stress of waiting.

Roll on friday!

Things are not feeling that great for me.... day 6 post 5dt. I usually start AF spotting around now and had some today along with the cramps I have had on and off since ET. I know these signs can still mean BFP but I am feeling like its more AF like than BFP like. I was BFP last Jan 07 (before miscarriage) and it felt different to me than AF.

I am going to do a HPT tomorrow AM (day 12) and see what it shows. I know it may show me nothing but if its going to be a neg then I would like to know asap. There is no way I am waiting for the nurse to call me and tell me its BFN! I want to know myself first if possible.

PMA is fading....

Marin- keep up the PMA, I thought AF was coming too and it didn't... your mind plays tricks on you and you are probably overanalyzing everything, I did too. A negative on a HPT can still be a positive! Please stay positive!!! :D you are PUPO!!!

Marin- These last few days of the 2ww can be torture :( I think what I have learned, if nothing else, is that you never know. No two times are the same, not any two people. Good luck tomorrow AM. I am keeping all of my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Hi everyone, I wanted to give you our sad update. I wish the BFP luck of this thread had rubbed off on me, but unfortunately, we are BFN. I POAS a few times before my beta so that I could be prepared as I already had convinced myself it was BFN (my "good" symptoms had suddenly stopped). Still, it was hard to hear the news when my doctor called today and it's harder to tell everyone we told about IVF that if failed. We will have to take a little break and they may want to do additional genetic testing before our next round, due to our low fertilization rate - so we are looking at several months out before starting again. We are going to Hawaii a week from Saturday for a much needed break and I'm sure it will do us a world of good.

I am still cheering for the rest of the BFPs and those still in the 2WW are in my thoughts. Take care of yourselves!

Well, I am sad to report that I think I am continuing the BFN streak. I POAS this morning - negative. So at least the trigger is gone at day 12 for me. Last time I was preg I tested positive at Day 12 (faint line) but did not have these AF type cramps or any spotting. My RE tests on Day 16 so I have a few more days but I am pretty sure this is going to be a BFN for us.

Good luck to the rest of the Jan/Feb board!

Hi everyone I did my test on Friday the 15th an sadly it was a BFN :cry: .
Ah well it's our first try and we can only keep on going. But I don't have to tell you it was a big shock, we had ourselves convinced i was pg!

To all you ladies that got BFP's congratulations i wish you all the best in the future.

To those of you that didn't , i know what it feels like and we will get a BFP one of these days we just have to stay positive.
Bye

RBjean, Marin and Tracey - am so sorry to hear your news, am thinking of you today.

I am so scared about my test tomorrow, I don't think I want to go. I have convinced myself today it will be a BFN. Can't stop crying either.
Am sure it is the same for everyone, doesn't make it any easier though does it!
