Wishingforbaby - I hate this part....I am already staring at the calendar wondering how I'm going to make it to the 23rd!! When I did the IUI's I never took a hpt and I was always blindsided by the BFN that's why i perfer taking the test. I'm curious to see how everyone else feels about HPT though

Annie973 - How many days after your trigger shot will Saturday be? You should wait at least 10 days for the HCG from your trigger shot to get out of your system. You can take an HPT before then - but know any positives may be due to the HCG. Also - don't get discouraged by a negative - there are many stories of ladies POAS the morning of a beta with a negative HPT but BFP beta!!!!!!!!

I POAS last time - but this time I'm not going to. I'm trying to be more 'at peace' with what happens and just accept that I have no control over this process. If all goes well - I'll forget I'm on the 2ww (if I get there to begin with!) and it will fly by

hd6405 - Congrats on starting and welcome to the board. My biggest piece of advice is to find anything that will help you stay relaxed. We have little to no control over this process and it is hard to accept this - but if you can accept it, all outcomes will be easier to handle.

Okay, So I did my first beta this morning and I go back for my second on Wednesday. My doctors office will not call with the results from today so I'm stuck waiting till Wednesday. However, I broke down and bought some HPT's. I did one on Friday and got a BFN which just was to confirm the trigger was out. I did one yesterday and had the faintest of lines in the positive column. I did another one today and it was a bit darker. I'm kinda freaking however I know that I need to wait for my betas... Is there a chance this could still be trigger - but if so then why am I doing my beta today?? My mind is racing..

Well, ladies. I am feeling MUCH better than this weekend. I still have some pain but it is tolerable. Mostly when i walk around....my stomach feels bloated and painful. I think I am just going to relax and lie down as much as I can and monitor for OHSS. I am prayerful that it wont get to SEVERE status. Really dont think I can handle it. My ET is scheduled for 11:00am Central standard time (Texas, USA). I am actually not very nervous about the 2WW. Once I have entered it, it gives me a chance to expect something great. When I get like that, I dont fret over every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week that has/has not gone by. I have decided to POAS on Christmas day. It will be 10dp5dt for me. I'm not going to tell DH whether its negative or positive but I just wanna see what I'll get on the day Christ was born.

I am excited.

Gigi - If the line is getting darker....it sounds like you should be cautiously optimistic! Test again tomorrow - if the line is still there, I'd say you have a BFP!!!!!!!!!

JennJenn- Glad to hear you are feeling better. Continue to take care of yourself and get some rest.

Gigi - sounds like you are starting us out with some really AWESOME news!!!! That is great. Can't wait to hear what your betas are. Your HPTs are a great sign!

JennJenn - glad to hear you are feeling better.

hd6405 - welcome. Try to stay calm and lean on the ladies on this board. It is soo helpful and it gets you through the tough times.

I too have taken HPTs in the past and decided I wasn't going to do it this cycle, but of course now I am waivering. My DH never wants me to take them. We will see how it goes as the week moves on.

I'm kind of freaking out right now and just want to cry. I've been doing so good but this afternoon I've gotten cramping that is just like my period and lots of the white discharge (I'm sorry if that is TMI). This is exactly what happens before my period. I all the sudden just feel blah. I'm like clockwork when it comes to my period and it should be starting either Wednesday or Thursday. My beta is Friday. I don't think I can pray enough or wish enough or hope enough. I'm not sure how to handle this.

Gigi-29 · Post by **Gigi-29** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 8:30 pm

Kyli - Don't panic. They say that you have cramping that feels like your period. It's totally normal. What meds are you on now? If you are on progesterone or any suppositories it could be those that are making you crampy also. I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry!! Keep your head up. This process is so hard on everyone and it's so hard to remain positive - but try!!

Yes, I haven't started progesterone yet but that's exactly the symptoms I read about. Stay strong Kyli.

wishing4baby · Post by **wishing4baby** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 9:06 pm

Oh Kyli, it is so normal. All the emotions and the hormones are doing it to you. Let yourself have a good cry and then try and relax. Cramping can be a really good sign. I am thinking of you. We are all in this together. You will feel better soon.

sprouthaus · Post by **sprouthaus** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 9:30 pm

Kyli - I'm thinking of you girl. Try to keep your chin up - cramping can be due to soooo many things.

Gang - wish me luck. i'm triggering tonight with ER on Wed. I just feel like the stars are against me. Not only do I only have 5 sizeable follicles - TOTAL, but the lab didn't pick up my blood today - so they have no estrogen level.

Also, I have school tonight until 9pm - but of course I have to give myself the shot at exactly 8:30pm - so now I need to come up with a lie to get out of school early. I hate the lies.

Thanks for letting me vent guys. SERENITY NOW!!!!!!!

Kyli · Post by **Kyli** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 9:33 pm

Thank you all so much, your support means so much to me. I'm doing better but still a little emotional. I had a good cry, now I'm just trying to breath through it and listen to some music to calm me. I am on the PEO (progesterone ethyl oleate) shots. Thank you again for being strong for me. I hope I can be as strong for all of you.

Gigi-29 - Congratulations it sounds like you got your BFP!!

Sprouthaus - It will be 11 days since by trigger and 6 days from the transfer...a little early but last cycle I tested 7 days after and got a faint line and my beta wasnt that high so we'll see. GOOD LUCK on your ER!!! I'm sure they will get 5 good eggs!!

Kyli - I've had a lot of cramping this cyle and last one. I'm pretty sure it's from the progesterone so dont worry!! Good Luck on Friday I really hope you get a BFP!!

wishing4baby · Post by **wishing4baby** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 10:29 pm

Sprouthaus - I will be thinking of you. Good luck tonight and tomorrow. Try to stay positive. It is all we have. None of the things that have happened so far mean anything. Sounds like you have 5 little fighting follicles in there. Stay positive for them. Let us know how the ER goes. You will get through this. I love that you are fellow Seinfeld lover
