Hi Everyone,
I am back from the Lake. DH has to work on Monday so we had to leave today. We had a really good relaxing time. I used my "can't lift more then 10lbs" excuse multiple times. DH was really cool and unpacked and packed the car so that was nice.

Congrats to all that are now officially PUPO. Good luck to all that are stimming.

I am kind of in a down mood right now so don't really feel like doing personals. Hope you guys don't mind. I have no PG symptons, all I feel like is that AF is about to some. I know that might be a side effect of the PIO but it is still hard to believe that it might not be AF. I am still debating if I should POAS. Tomorrow is the day I said I would do it. I have been thinking of going up to the drugstore to get some tests so I can do it in the morning, but I keep on talking myself out of going. Then I was in the bathroom and just checked to see if I had any HPT, I was almost positive I was out. Well turns out i have one cheapie that I got from Dollar Tree. Don't know for sure it will even work but I guess I will do that tomorrow. Guess it was my sign to POAS since it was just sitting there. If I get the BFN then I can always blame it on being a chapie test and also that it might be a couple of days too early. I am just scared to death to see the BFN but I want to be prepared for Friday. Hope everyone has a good evening.

Turtles - I haven't seen a weather report since Thursday so have no clue about the hurricane. Just wanted to say that I hope the hurricane doesn't do any harm to you and all of your family.

Oh and whoever asked about the smiley. I think the site is freesmileys.org. They have tons to choose from. To post them there are several links under the smiley that you want. copy the one that start with URL then past it on the board and then delete everything before and after the IMG. Hope this helps.

Valerie

I have just been too lazy to update my profile. Based on the 10 days from the 5 day transfer it should be on 9/6- sat. They normally don't do beta tests on the weekend so it was set up for 9/8 . But the RE said we are special and he really likes us so for us he will do it on Sat. Sorry for the confusion :)

On the 2WW post you said cramping was a good sign. Do you think that is true even if it is only a few cramps/twinges and nothing constant?

to have fun- Sorry you are feeling down. Hug. Try to keep the PMA, I know how hard it can be,

Amanda~ I think that those twinges are good. I don't have them all the time either. They come and go, some are stronger than others and I have low back pain like AF was coming. Did you have cramps with your previous pregnancies?
I would definitely take it as a good sign.
that's wonderful that your RE will do a special beta for you !!

Valerie- My other pregnancies I didn't have any twinges the other two that I can remember. But I did have sore boobs and hot flashes the first time. But since those were just chemical pregnancies they didn't implant. I haven't had many twinges and they haven't been that strong.

It's out of my hands though. However, I can't think of anything else lately. lol

Thanks Valerie! I was able to update my profile!

Amanda --

Yes the twinges are a good sign, they can come and go and you may feel like you are about to get AF -- I had super strong cramps! Does it feel like someone is pinching you on the inside? Also I had weird stretchy pains.

Hope this is it for you!!!!

Well I POAS this morning. BFN :cry: :cry: I know it might be early but still I just was praying so hard that maybe just maybe someone up there would be nice to me a show me a BFP. I am also having terrible AF like cramps so I really don't believe this worked. I know I should keep up PMA but I am finding it really really hard. POAS wasn't the cause of my moods, I had already figured it would be a BFN. Oh well got to move on with my day.

Happy Labor Day to all our girls in the USA !

Chris~ Don't give up hope so fast!! You are probably a little early and false negative do exist as well. All those cramps that feel like AF is coming can come from being prego!! How long have you had them?
Keep your PMA and always believe it will work!!!

What a night for me!! I was dreaming that I was having bad AF like cramps and they wouldn't quit...finally I woke up and the cramps were real. I kept thinking : Oh my! my AF is coming!! But as I woke up I counted the days and knew it was impossible to have AF right now.
Then my newly adopted cat kept coming on my side of the bed purring in my face and laying somewhere on my body. She'd stay a while and leave and then come back, time and time again. Kind of hard to get any rest that way.
I woke up at 4:30 am the past 2 nights and could not go back to sleep...so I got up because I was getting restless. That's so unusual for me as I'm a very sound sleeper.
I'm not sleepy but feeling drained. I take that as a good sign.

Hope you are all doing well...talk to you soon.

Love

Hay Ladies,

Hope everyone is doing well and enjouying the long weekend :)

To_have-fun I feel for you on this one i am in the EXACT SAME situation. Yesterday my boobs seemed to sop hurting (i felt nothing instead of that heavy painful feeling when i took my sports bra of in the morning - i have DD boobs normally and they are even bigger now!! so i have to sleep with support) and i thought uh-oh as for me thats a sign AF is always coming. Also i felt kind of crampy for the first time since ER (had none of these implantion cramps or spotting at all).

Also i just had a feeling it hadnt worked and i also felt tearful and pre-menstrual all day yesterday, so i decided to POAS -BFN and again this morning -BFN. I'm glad i'm POAS though as yesterday i was really upset but today i thought-OK you were expecting that so deal with it, and so far i'm ok (its stilll only 11am though!!!)

I know everyone will say its too early but i know its not. I've looked through lots and lots of posts and people see a line (even a faint line) around this time. SO will continue to take the meds and hope but i am preparing myself for the worst x x x

Kas and Chris, I am right there with you ladies. I tested this morning and got a BFN also. I am 9 DP a 3DT. I would think it would show up by now. I am getting a little nervous that it didnt work. If not then it is over for us. This was our one and only try per DH. I am still praying that on Wed. it will be a bfp. I am going to wait until wed. to test again. Praying for all you ladies in the 2ww, it is horrible! However Firday will be here before we know it and I will have my BETA then.

Well I POAS and saw a very faint line. :D:D:D I had all my house guests look and tell me if they could see and they did!! Well, all except my DH. He never did see it. :? I will test tomorrow and see if it gets darker. I am cautiously hopeful in case it is a chemical.

Don't give up hope Chris. I am having AF cramps also. It is really early. Keep the PMA!!

Val - I have also been waking up at 4:30 the last few days. Luckily I do fall back asleep after 30 min. or so. I actually tested myself at 4:30 since I was getting up to pee. I then went back to sleep and didn't read the test until later in the morning.

lynniecat - Welcome!! Can't say that I ever had lost a follie. It could have just been that they couldn't see one this time. Good luck!

muggsey - Don't give up hope yet. It is early.

Well, Gustav has given us some rain but nothing real bad yet. We are in a tornado warning and there are bands of rain to deal with. Overall, Gustav is not as bad as predicted. WooHoo!! :D
