Ooooh, congrats Buzz06!!!!!! Yes, let us know what your beta was.
2 more POAS for me today. The first I saw nothing and the second the line was baaaaaaaaaarely there but really did look like an evap line this time. I'm guessing yesterday was an evap line too or else I'm maybe dealing with a chemical pregnancy.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!! Buzz06! That's such great news!!!
kerpupples: did people believe you were on antibiotics? we have a birthday party tonight... not sure we will actually go.
I think I'll wait until tomorrow to POAS (just realized the lingo) lol, it will be 4dp5dt.. I was really positive before when my dr said the embryos are great. But then I finally heard from the lab, since none were good enough to be frozen. The 2 that transferred were 2BB and 2BC... I don't think that's that great... anyone knows their grade? What was yours Buzz06?
newtoivfgirl - it's actually tonight that we're going out. Not sure if people will believe me, don't frankly care. You could also say that your stomach is upset so no booze.
Have no idea what grade the embies were. Probably should have asked. The RE was much more hopeful than with our last FET. I can't imagine you'll get accurate results from a test yet but who knows.

it's definitely too early to test..ahhh.. this is so hard.. so I did it anyway.. and of course it was negative.. my beta is not until this friday.. so I'm just ignoring the negative and pressing on.
I'm having a slight cramp, like I'm about to get my period type of cramping.. is that a good or bad sign?
For me it was a good sign - I had that type of cramping with my BFP. I read though that it can also be a side effect of PIO. If I were you and I could hold out, I'd wait until maybe Wednesday to POAS again.
I say that being totally obsessive myself. I POAS again yesterday afternoon and got a line about like the first one I saw. Did it again this morning and got the same shade of line. So I'm hopeful that it's a BFP but afraid that it's not going up. I guess we'll see tomorrow when I have my beta!

sorry they didn't tell me the grade or my beta, just that I was pregnant. I am going for a scan on the 15th October. So now the next lot of waiting begins!!

kerpupples - All the best with your beta tomorrow. Am sure it will be BFP since you have been getting the lines with POAS. And yes everyone will believe the antibiotics story - I used it last cycle for not drinking - just cough one in a while
newtoivfgirl - for me cramping is a good sign as well. I would wait till Wednesday to do the POAS again. But I know how hard it is .. I was addicted to it last time and used up so many of the pee sticks.
This time I am trying not to use them and see what the blood results say. But it will take all of my will power to not buy any of the sticks again - so we will see ....

My beta is 91. A little lower than my last BFP, but Ghost says that FETs tend to be late implanters so maybe that has something to do with it. My progesterone was a bit low so the RE upped my PIO injection to 2cc. Next beta is on Wednesday 9/17.
Priya - welcome! Will be watching for your beta. We used the designated driver excuse instead of antibiotics, and my DH was drinking so it worked like a charm!
Buzz - aagh, that's a long time to wait until your U/S!

I was determined not to do two things this time:
1) NO HPT - have stuck to it till now (its too early for any results anyways )
2) Not to notice/analyze anything .....
The latter is becoming diff for me now. Since yesterday I have had pinching/tingling in the lower abdomen. I think it the ovaries but its getting too much for me not to notice
Anyone else experiencing anything?
Also when is everyone's beta?
Mine is 9/20. I know Lynnie's is on 24th.
Have a good day/night guys

Ugh... I started spotting today. Its light brown and does not look good. No more twinges here so I am afraid its not my month again! It was my last round with insurance so I am pretty bummed out.
Since my beta is not until next Wednesday (18 DPO), I will POAS tomorrow to get it over with. I bought 4 tests so I can test on 11, 12, 13 and 14 DPO. Since I have had a BFP round and a BFN round I pretty much am sure this one is another BFN. Got the brown spotting with my last BFN. Oddly my BFP round has pink spotting!
I am pretty low today and I know its not over till its over, but I can not keep hoping when the sign are pretty clear.
I hope everyone else has good news!!!!!!
