Sept/Oct 2008 Cycle Buddies

Hi ladies!

Well, still in 2ww and I finally broke down and POAS. I am 7dp3dt today and was not surprised to see a negative result. Has anyone else broken down? I think a few of us are due for betas next week.

I'm having a weird day of being both up and down. I really don't feel like this cycle will be successful - but I have renewed hope for a future cycle. Weird to be feeling both.

Sprouthaus: I think it is still too early for HPT. I would wait at least till monday to test. Even then do not rely on the results. The blood test is what matters. I have read on other posts of situations where the HPT was negative all the way to the day of the beta and then the beta turned up to be positive. So don't give up and be positive.

I am on the same day as you but trying to hold off till then. I may POAS on tuesday as my husband may be off to India on that day so want to let him know before he takes off.

Good luck!

BabiesGalore - You have much stronger will power than me! I am thankful the weekend is here so that I can do all sorts of things to divert my attention. I admit, at work - my mind keeps wandering back here!

Ugh! Your husband will be in India when you get your beta results! My husband will be in minor surgery that day, so although he won't be in another country - he'll be knocked out with drugs and thus won't be with me

I told my bff that she has to spend the afternoon with me waiting for the call

Just wanted to chime in and say I've got my beta scheduled for 10/17, but I know that I don't have the courage to see a BFN if I POAS before that (esp since I've had NOT one symptom) so I'm going to try my best to hold out! I did not POAS w/ IVF#1, but had a bad feeling(since there were absolutely no symtoms then as well), so the beta BFN was not suprising.

Sprouthaus: I think i may just come in to work that day so as to keep my mind off it while i wait for the results. Sometimes i think having someone with you, is hard esp if they have not gone thru it, and DH usually does not understand the emotional side of it. He keeps saying will try again. That does not help me. That is why i love these boards and the support u get here as everyone is going thru the same.

Bubbles: hang in there. Lets try and hold off. I am really scared of the negative hpts as that is all i have gotten so far.

Good luck to both of you. Will keep you in my prayers and thoughts as we go thru this together.

babies and bubbles - You have both given me renewed energy to hold off on POAS again. I must admit - I in no way expected a BFP on the HPT this morning - but my spirits dipped ever so slightly when I saw only one line...

Thank you all for listening and giving me the strength to be positive. I don't know what I would do without the boards! My husband is super supportive - but it isn't the same, is it? Poor guy actually got worried when he learned I was on this board - he thought he wasn't being supportive enough.

I have not had one single symptom either. As a matter of fact, I feel I have more energy than usual! Also - I feel like AF is coming - all crampy and stuff. I know that can be a progesterone side effect - but this feels like AF. Only time will tell.

I was wondering of those who've already gotten their BFP's and those who have not or are waiting, what symptoms did you/are you having? I know there's prob a few threads here about symptoms, but since we're all on the same cycle, thought would help to share?

I'll start by saying, I had very very minor cramps (honeslty they were so light, i may have imagined them) a couple of times over the past week, but nothing that I don't normally get any other random month. Other than that NOTHING and my belly is flat as flat could be (if I wasn't trying to TTC, I wouldn't have been complaining about this:) but...

Thanks in advance for sharing:)

Sprouthaus: that is so nice your DH is so supportive. Mine is at time but sometimes i feel he does not get how much this take away from us (emotionally and physically).

Bubbles and Renne: thanks for sharing the symptons. i have always wondered about that. Well nothing much for me. I have the occasional cramps (more like a pull on one side especially when i turn at nite), sore boobs (from the PIO shots), and mucus (TMI)

I do get tired but this time i am more relaxed. I think that is because fo the accupuncture. I doubt any of these mean anything. My nurse said that it will be at least another 3 weeks before u start feeling different. Oh, i forgot to mention that my stomach is really bloated. Horrible!

as my clothes do not fit me anymore. Have to go with loose dresses.

symptoms: Today I am 7dp3dt and just last night when I took off my bra, I noticed my breasts were tender. No sorer than when AF is on her way though.

I've had cramping since ER - but I think they've been worse the past two days. I still have pain on my left side (assuming my left ovary is still recovering from ER) so the cramps could also be due to that?

My energy is fine and I'm actually staying up later than normal (I usually get sleepy early!) and I'm not tired in the mornings....

Also, I have no 'implantation spotting'.

I'm not trying to pay too much attention to the symptoms (

can you tell!). I've had three sisters pregnant with 4 pregnancies and NONE of them have had the same symptoms. One had m/s from day of conception, one never had any, one had nausea, one was full of energy, one was exhausted......you get my point!

Well ladies...my beta today was 1761...wow!!! They asked if we were ready for multiples...LOL I think we are!!!

As for symptoms...mine have been mild. I am tired, and I am slightly crampy but not all the time. I am very bloated and I have already had to get a few maternity clothes to be comfortable. We are leaving tonight for San Antonio...hubby's 10 year med school reunion and I had the most beautiful dress to wear and have been waiting to wear it for 2 months....I tried it on last night and there is NO WAY...I have to scramble today to find a new one and it was really hard!!! I think as for symptoms...most of the time it is the meds but so ladies have no symptoms at all and get BFP...so you never know!!!

Baby Dust to all!!!!!

1761!!!!!! WOW! smattison - that is amazing!! It has to be multiples for sure! Congratulations to you - and I hope you have fun at the reunion this weekend.

No POAS for me today, so no updates here. Wednesday still feels so far away....

S that is amazing!!! I am so happy for you...you'll have at least two if not a whole litter

Congrats!

As for me, DH and I talked last night and we may hold off for another 6 months. In some ways I hate to wait so long, but overall I feel like it might be better timing. It was my idea and I felt a little relieved that he was ok either way. I like having that flexibility.

But I am still addicted to you girls and your results!
