Happy Independance day to all you American folk!! (and to those who arn't just for something to celebrate)

Thank you all for your wonderful encouraging words, it will help this little bean grow. Grow baby grow, that has been my motto since Monday. My next beta is on Wednesday, I decided either tomorrow or Sunday I am going to POAS. I have not at all through this cycle so I thought, since my numbers are on the rise, which they are, I would be able to see a positive this weekend.

Turtle - sorry for you negative, you have a great attitude. Here is to August come on AF.

Bell - Here is to August come on AF for you too!

Kate - I too go in for beta on Wednesday, I will cross all my body parts for us.

Bella - I too have had cramping off and on, I hear that can be a good thing. Good luck Thursday!!!

Adsgirl - Good luck Tuesday!

Love, Luck and Baby Dust! And many BFPs next week!

Thanks, JCurly, hopefully we'll both come back with good news.

Sonu, thanks for the info. It's not what I was hoping to hear, but it's good to know what to expect.

Turtle, you just have an amazing attitude, and it sounds like you have a great family already, which helps. I'm glad you came off that news to massage, wine, etc.

Good luck to you and to Bell02 for August. I think it's a great sign that your REs are quick to schedule the next try. It means they think this is more of a statistics thing than some problem indicating IVF won't work.

Hmmm ... it's about 5pm here and I've been awake only a few hours off and on today.

Anyone else getting really tired after ET? I'm pretty sure I'm not sick and I've given up all exercise for the past couple weeks, so surely not worn out from over-activity.

Hey Kate - I was pretty tired after ET. I took a lot of naps. You are on a lot of hormones and your ovaries have been on overdrive. Just take it easy for awhile. Hope that helps.

wishful- sorry to hear it was negative. Try to keep PMA until the blood test. You never know, it might work out. I'll be praying for you!!

Wishfull, it doesn't count yet. Don't read anything into it!

Turtle, thanks. It's always helpful to get another data point.

Hey Wishfull -
You still have 2 days to go girl - I've been reading so much as to when people get their first BFP on a HPT and trust me you're not out of the game yet.
Keep your chin up.

Kate - super tired as well, don't know if I'm just getting used to doing nothing though, so if I do something it wipes me out and I'm ready for a nice little rest again!

Hope everyone's enjoying their holiday weekend. I'm debating when to POAS myself - I did on Friday and it was blank, and then showed a very very faint line if I held it upside down in the light and squinted really hard lol after about 5 mins - so I don't know if that was an evaporation line, the trigger shot, or what.....so I'm making like it didn't happen, and contemplating tomorrow, when I'll be 8dp3dt... take care all :D

wishfull, I'm so sorry mate. Take some time for you and DH to get over this emotional rollercoaster, and I hope you are able to make some plans to have another try. Big hugs to you both.

Steph - 8 frosties is great - how many will you thaw out to begin with?

Well, I POAS this morning, and there were two lines!!! So I am cautiously very very excited! Just praying that the lines stick around, and of course I will have to POAS every day until Friday to make sure! Holy smokes I can't believe it! :D

Wishful - So sorry to hear the news. Hugs to you...

Jude - That is awesome news!!! Looking forward to the daily updates all week!! Congrats, lady!!

OK ladies...It has been impossible for me to be incognito in going out to buy some HPTs this weekend with my parents in town...However, yesterday afternoon, I was dying to POAS, so I just took a quick check in the little bag where I had my ovulation test kits to make sure there weren't also any HPTs in there (I was sure there wasn't). Well, there were three!! So immediately I ripped one open and peed on it. It was negative. I had just gone to the bathroom about an hour before, and I wasn't that surprised that it was negative...it nagged at me just a little, but I knew I would have to POAS again in the morning. And I couldn't give that negative any credibility. I woke up this morning and snuck into the bathroom, turned on the faucet so DH wouldn't hear me opening the package. Waiting and waiting...Faint positive!!!!! I looked at it several times before I crawled back into bed. I started to tell my DH, but I stopped. A minute later, got up, went into the bathroom to look at it again...then came back to bed and told him. We are both so excited, cautiously excited, but excite none-the-less!! Keeping it quiet for now. Will POAS again in the morning...and of course will keep you all posted! Beta Tuesday!!

Hope everyone has had a great weekend...Parents leave tomorrow and back to work for me :(
