Hey everyone. Happy Friday!! Those of us that are in the 2WW, I hope that you are all surviving.


Venus and babyloves---Good luck with your betas. Sending you positive vibes for BFP!!! :D

I'm not really having any pregnancy symptoms but am still having weird feelings in belly. Cannot tell if it is AF coming or the effects of meds. Trying to keep PMA but it is hard. Cannot wait for 8/8 to get here so I can know for sure. :?

Looking forward to all the updates. :D

wow, there's quite a number of us going all in a row. I wish all of you the best.

Someone asked about day 3 vs day 5. When I first started this, I was told if embies make it to day 5/blasts, they have the best chance of succeeding. But then too, if they get back into mommy quicker, that is best too. I think it depends on where you are with all this. My doc did day 3 this time because I have been here several times and he wanted to get them back in quickly. Talk to your RE for sure.

Hey, what is PMA?

Were you guys given any to dos and not to dos?

Hi ladies! Starting to have a hard time here. 6 more days until Beta and I can barely stand it! I have a HPT under my sink just calling my name but I am trying to be strong. Im getting nervous because I am feeling absolutely NOTHING out of the ordinary. No bb tenderness, no nausea, no extreme tiredness, no cramping. Do you think I should be feeling something? It has only been 3 days since my ET so I think i am just paranoid, to be honest! I transferred 2 embies day 5 blasts....Dr really feels positive about my chances. trying to hang in there...hope you are too!

I'm doing my ER tommorrow of 2 5 day blasts so I have
to get another beta date. My re said he can't tell what grade they
are because they all look the same. They should be morulas now though.

Anyway good luck everyone :)

Hi ladies!

Thank God it is Friday!!! I have felt so tired the last two days that it has been hard to get anything accomplished! This is the only symptom that I am having other than feeling a bit emotional.

Hommy: My heart and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time. I, too, have been crying some during this cycle. So, I hope that this does not hurt our chances. This process has placed enormous stress on my marriage and we are now talking about going to a marriage counselor to help us get through this. Don't forget that we are here for you if you ever need to talk!

ndgo82: Yippee!!!! ET is finally here for you!!! I can't wait till you are in the 2ww with all of us!! Good luck tomorrow and getting 2 day 5 blasts is great! I hope it goes really smoothly for you!

rn2005: Don't worry about the symptoms not appearing. I have read that for most pregnancies, they truly don't become very obvious until 8-10 weeks of the pregnancy and some women still don't have any! A few days ago I saw a show where they had 2 women who went into labor without ever realizing that they were prego! Unbelievable!! Maybe you are one of the lucky ones who won't have any signs/symptoms of pregnancy and just breeze through it all!! That is my hope for you!

Sweetmommi: PMA is Positive Mental Attitude! I'm sure you have lots of it!

Can't wait to hear the news from Babyloves and Venus!!!! Anyone heard anything yet?? It looks like beginning next Wed, we will be having a run of BFP's!!!! All of us deserve it and it would be Amazing if we all ended up getting fab news!

Hi ladies. Thank you so much for all your well wishes. I went for my beta test today and unfortunately it was a BFN :cry: :cry: :evil: :cry: :cry: It hit me a heck of a lot harder this time. I don't know why. I just feel terrible at the moment. I'm sorry - I don't mean to bring anyone down. I'm just quite upset about the result b/c I felt really really good about this cycle. It goes to show you just never know. So those worrying about not feeling anything - try not to worry b/c it's just to early to tell anything. I had a bunch of little symptoms and it was all from the shots. Try to stay busy in the 2ww. I know how hard it is. I wish you all lots and lots of baby dust. Bring in the BFPs!! Sorry I couldn't keep the streak going. Congrats babyloves!!! I am so happy for you!!

Venus: I am truly sorry for you and your husband. I understand the devestation that you are feeling and I think none of us will ever be able to prepare for it. It is so emotionally and physically draining, that I really hope you and your hubbie can take some personal time to mourn and remember how much you love one another and how your dream to be parents will come true. We are always here for you and you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love to you both.

Venus- please know that we are all thinking about you. You have nothing to apologize for...you are allowed to feel however you feel. I know there is really nothing that I can say to make you feel better at the moment, but I do know that in time you will feel better and your hope will return. You and your DH definitely need to take a little vacation if you can. take some time for yourselves. We are here for you to vent.

Venus: There are no words I can express to tell you how sorry I am for you. I have tears in my eyes and I cannot imagine how you must be feeling right now. We are all here for you, please use us to vent to if you need to.

Hi Venus. So sorry to hear your news. I often wonder why we are the chosen ones to go through such pain. I guess we will never know the answer to it and if we did, it wouldn't help anyway.

Take time to process how you feel. Then, being the strong woman you are, you will pick back up. I feel your pain. Have been there several times.

You said congrats to babylove. Did you hear from her? She got a BFP????

Venus- I am so sorry to hear your news, I can't help but tear up because I know how much all of us want our babies. It just doesn't seem to make any sense. I hope you can take some time for you and your DH and process through this. Please know that we are all here to listen if you need. I will say prayers for you and your DH.
