Hi girls!

How are you doing? :D:D:D:D:D Lots of interesting posts today!!!

kerpupples,
I completely understand. Once you've had a miscarriage, it's hard to think you're out of the woods after a BFP. Still a big milestone, but still not 100% reassuring. Hang in there sweetie! *HUGS*

Ooooooooh I hope your intuition is right and that you're heading straight towards a BFP!!!!!! Tell us about the test if you do it; we'll be on pins and needles! :D

Ericka,
I laughed so hard at the staring contest, LOL! Such a funny way to put it! I'm sorry you got a BFN, but hey, there are indeed a thousand ways to rationalize it. I really hope the next ones will show increasingly darker happy lines! :D Hang in there!!!!

KIM!
You do know that false positives are extremely rare with HTPs, while false negatives are more common. So...

I'm so happy for you!!! Let us know ASAP what the digital test says!!!! And I hope you'll be able to tell DH soon! It's really good news that the test was able to pick HCG in your urine so soon! Good news indeed! :D

Good day ladies! :D

I woke up in the middle of the night with some bad cramps. This morning I broke down and POAS and it was a BFN. I'm only 7dp3dt so maybe it's too early? I'm a little unclear on the FET timeframe.

Ericka, I guess we bust out another stick tomorrow! :lol:

Ericka and Kerpupples:
I have always heard that FET results come a little later....so keep POAS!!

I got the nerve today and did the clearblue digital. It said pregnant! I will tell dh tonight when he gets home from work. My beta is Monday, which will be 12dp3dt. I will be so happy to get a beta, and then pray that it doubles on Wednesday.

Sophie, next week is your transfer week-hurray!

Sticky baby dust to all,
Kim
p.s. Kerpupples I also had those bad cramps that woke me in the middle of the night.

Hi Ladies,
Hope all is well today...

Kim, you must be thrilled!!!! I can;t remember from your previous posts...are these the first BFP's you've seen since your journey began?
So exciting!!

Kerpupples,
I didn't have the bad cramps, but some discomfort in the night, but it was a few nights ago...keep trying with the HPT's...

I had another BFN today...I'm 8dpt, I may ask a question to the site and ask what the chances are of actually seeing a BFP at this point. I know they sat FET's sometimes take longer, but I transferred expanded blasts and I would think I would've seen something by now...beta on Monday...

Blessings to all,
Ericka

Ericka. Kerpupples and PMA:
Can you please let me know what your estrogen dose is after ET and up to 12 weeks of pregnancy? I am confused by my RE orders and would like to compare your protocol. Of course, first I am hoping for a good beta on Monday.


Ericka: If you beta isn't until Monday, I would think your test should turn ++ Sat. or Sunday. However, there have been lots of stories on this board over the last couple of months regarding people with neg. hpt's and positive beta. I also know that FET's typically implant later.

Baby dust and thanks for the advice,
Kim

Hi Kimmy,
My protocol would be 2mg Estrogen twice a day, and 100mg PIO once a day. I know the PIO would last an additional 6 weeks after beta, but I'm not sure about the estrogen. Hope that helps...

Another BFN this morning :( my original beta would have been tomorrow, but they don't test on Sunday...I'm just biding my time til Monday.
I'm convinced there is actually no second line on those tests...I think it's a hoax!!

Take care,
Ericka

Kimmy, I'm on Vivelle patches instead of pills for Estrogen. I use 2 0.1mg patches every other day but I'm really not sure how that compares.

Ericka, we must be using the same tests! Another BFN for me this morning. I've got one digital that came in my box - not sure if I'll use it tomorrow or just wait until beta on Monday.

Amy,
I'm right there with you...another BFN for me as well...I was even tempted to drown my sorrows in a nice large martini tonight! I'll wait until tomorrow, though.
I'm sorry you are having the same experience...there's still a chance, though...I'll keep you in my prayers tonight...

Kimmy,
How are you feeling?

PMA,
Not long now.....

Ericka,

I too was tempted to open a bottle of wine tonight. Will be thinking of you tomorrow!

Kimmy, let us know what your beta turns out to be.

Cheers to all,

Ericka and Amy:
I have been thinking of you all weekend! I am hoping that you both have late implanters!
I have my beta tomorrow. Oddly enough, I feel nervous. I am second guessing the HPT and just hoping my number is ok.

Hi all
new to the thread. FET#1.. 2 failed IVF fresh cycles.
I am currently in the 2ww and going crazy :P . I had the transfer on Wednesday, so that makes me 5dpt, right?? Anyone know what day I can hpt.. not sure if I am going to, but just in case I get the urge :? . Have read all of your posts and sending baby dust your way. :wink:
Anyone ever give themselves the progesterone shots?? I am going out of town this week and unfortunately dh cannot come with.... so I am going to have give the IM shots in my leg. Did a practice run today and it was okay and will well worth it for a BFP... but any pointers would be great.
Had some cramping the first 4 days and what I think may have been spotting 2dpt.. but that may be too soon??? Anyone know?
My prayers are with you all
