Thank you so much for all your congrats. Having this group is truly a gift. I was so excited to tell you guys. I also find it nice to keep checking up on everyone, it takes away some of the obsession on my own stuff.

Neffi - I am feeling for you girl. Ugghh, the wait is so terrible. It's going to be great though, I just have a feeling. Sorry your DH is gone. I am sure he is so bummed.

Turltes - good luck with ER! We'll be waiting for that fert report.

2WW girls - hope you are doing well. I was a mess the 2nd week. Truly thought I was going crazy. Give yourself some slack and talk to yourself a lot. I know it is tough.

Cramping girls - I too had AF cramps all through 2ww and up until just about a week ago. Don't read too much into it. Just think of everything your lady parts just went through. Even yesterday at my US, almost a month after ER, my ovaries are still swollen.

Have a great day!

Hello Ladies

Well not much here on the 2ww other then relaxing I really needed a break from work. I started having very slight clear CM yesterday which i always start a week or so before AF so I am it seems I feel like a normal month. i am staying positive but realistic. i now you shouldn't read into but we all know our bodies. I would rather have spotting to be honest since taht at least would be different then normal. The rest in teh 2ww it will be over soon and we will add to the BFP's.

Turtles - Enjoy this shot free day.

Jharris- I am always searching for those low fixed or 0% credit cards.

For everyone else I hope it is a great Wednesday.

Have the best day ever!!

Well ladies my second beta was 187. It did not double, but it only needs to increase by 1.7x so it did do that. I'm still a little on edge that it didnt go up more, but I guess it's okay. I will go back friday morning again for my 3rd beta. I keep telling myself that my first beta was a day early and many people don't even have their first one until 12pt...so thats where I am. Now of course I will worry until friday and go through all of this again! The worrying never stops!

Neffi: As long as it is going up the way it's supposed to, try not to worry!! I know, easier said than done. I would be worried, too. But you have a lot of women here pulling for you and sending prayers your way. Hopefully they will shoot up Friday. Like you said, you did get your test a little earlier than most. Sending prayers your way!!

Neffi: That was fast ! I know that the worry never ends, we just have to get used to it ! Because after the betas, it will be the US.
Talk to your embies and send them lots of good vibes, the stress is not helping them...trust your body that it will do everything it can to hold on to your beanies and make them grow as they should, as they are doing right now!!! You will be just fine, it went up like it should, so try not to worry. We are all pulling for you, use this good energy and internalize it.

Big hugs

Neffi...It went up!!! Thats all that matters!!! I cant wait until Friday!!!

Ok, I have a weird TMI question. I have LOTS of air in the nether region. What in the world is this all about? I remember years ago getting the nerve to ask my gyn about the little bits you get here or there and she said that it happens when your cervix changes positions for ovulation, the movement causes suction and air. So, I am not ovualting and I am way past ER, so where and why am I getting this. :? Its bad enough I got wind in one spot, now I got a chorus going on :oops: I'm being deflated!!!

Hi girls

Sorry I havent posted in a long time but I have been trying to keep up with all of the action on this thread!

Congrats on the increasing Beta Neffi! OMG! Twins Ruby Lee!!!

I had a bit of a shock today. I have had some tugging sensations (and lots of wind Dakota :wink: ! I gave in and POAS 2 days ago and it was negative. But today I tested and it is a BFP! I am not due to do my official HPT until Sat (my clinic doesnt do the Beta blood tests) so I will need to wait until my US in a few weeks to know if everything is OK. I am nervous because of what happened last time but just thrilled to have been able to say those words to DH that I am pregnant! (It has been a long 7 years!)

Thinking of all of you waiting to start, stimming or waiting for your results!

Sending loads of baby dust to all!

Whew-hew Neffi!!!!

My first and second beta were just like yours. Mine barely went up over the "limit" of how it was suppose to double, and I was super worried. Trust me - yours will continue to go up too....and I can't wait to see the # go up again on Friday.

You're correct that the worrying never stops. We're 16 weeks now, and I'm just now comfortable that we're definitely pregnant and that everything will be okay. DH said - you're going to have to accept the fact that you are pregnant someday.

Take a nice deep breath and enjoy the moment. :D

Hi Everyone! I have been travelling for work the past couple of days and haven't had a chance to get on the board!

RubyLee - Twins!! That is fantastic..I am so excited for you!!

Indie - I am so sorry...I am sending you a big big (((HUG)))...I will keep you in my thoughts...

Neffi - slow and steady is ok! I know that # is just going to keep going up and up and up :)

Dakota - ummmm is it Monday yet?????? :) This wait is the WORST!!!

As for me, I am trying to keep my mind off of things this week and stay positive but it is driving me crazy..I am NOT a patient gal to begin with, so this wait to get to my beta is the worst! I don't really have any 'symptoms' ..some dull aches and minor cramps here and there so that makes me a bit nervous..bit more tired and hungry these days too, but that could just be the progesterone...I am staying positive and keeping m fingers crossed that this has worked and my 2 embies are still hangin' out in there somewhere :)
