I feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster ride. My BETA is Monday, March 9th but I probably won't get my results until Tuesday, March 10th. I had my progesterone level checked last Monday and I didn't get the results until Tuesday. I asked the nurse if it would take that long to get BETA results too and she said "yes". She told me to write "STAT" on the doctor order that I give to the lab to see if that expedites the results. I just hate the weekend. I have been super busy at work, so I haven't had much time to obsess about the wait. But last night, it hit me hard!! I cried on my DHs shoulder for awhile. I just have all these doubts that it will be BFN because I feel like the only symptoms that I have are AF symptoms. In the beginning of the week, I was so positive after I got good results from my progesterone level but now I just feel defeated. DH is going to keep me busy today. We live in Columbus, Ohio and the Arnold Classic is this weekend. Plus, it is going to be 70 degrees. I just wish that I could get the results so I could either rejoice or prepare myself to move on. This is definitely a test in patience. Ok, now I am just rambling.
Good luck everyone!

Anxious: I know how emotionally taxing this whole process is-- and the waiting is especially hard. Just don't give up yet!!!! AF symptoms and Prego symptoms are VERY similar. Try to stay as positive as possible this weekend and let DH spoil you a little. I have my Beta Monday as well, so I'll be thinking of you! Enjoy the warm weather and stay busy. 
Finally got my beta results - 136. Now I'm probably going to spend the next two days until Monday stressing out. I have no idea if that's a reasonable number for testing 12 days after a 5d ET, but I guess what really matters is that the number goes up, right? Of course, if they do go up then I'll worry until the u/s... My husband is dying to tell people, and me being the worrier doesn't want to tell anybody until I feel more sure it's going right.
Anxious - I have had mild/moderate cramping off and on this time and just got a BFP, whereas I felt nothing at all during the last two failed tries. So you just don't know. Hang in there! I'll be thinking of you and nursegator when I'm getting my blood drawn Monday!!

Hello everyone,
i joined this thread a while back, but have been just reading, not posting because there hadn't been much going on with me. Now that I actually have my ball rolling I guess I should catch-up a bit.
First of all - Congratulations to ALL of the BFPs!!! There have been so many I just get so excited each and every time! I can't wait to see some baby pics starting in October! Yeah BFP-ers!!
And to everyone who is back at square one - I am so sorry. My heart breaks when I read your stories, But I am so inspired by your strength and your ablilty to pick yourselves up and get back on that big 'ol IVF bicycle! You are all wonderful ladies and you all deserve to share yourselves with your future babies. It will happen for you - I know it will.
I can't do personals for everyone out there, but please know that I am rooting for you and you sending you PMA and sticky baby dust from my little corner of the world!
Wondercat - I just read about your beloved Murph. It brought tears to my eyes. He sounds like he was just about the best pet you could ask for. I personally have never met a pitbull that I haven't liked. I know they have a bad rep, but I really do think that when people raise them right, they are wonderful dogs. I am sure he is smiling down on you and sending you PMA from doggie heaven! Perhaps he even pulled a few strings to help you get that BFP?
Congrats on your beta numbers today. I would be happy with a 136.
Lady J, Nursegator and Anxious - I am sending you extra sticky baby dust and lots of Beta PMA for next week. I hope the time passes quickly so you can get, and enjoy your long-awaited BFPs!
To_have_fun - I hope that big 'ol follie will share some of it's growing power with the others. You definitely deserve the chance to move forward and finally get that baby of yours! I'll be thinking of you on Monday.
AFM - I finally started stimming on Fri. Feb 27. I have adjusted to the injections and don't actually mind them. There's a
-er for ya! I had two blood tests this week and they kept my dosages the same. I really wasn't feeling my ovaries at all until last night when I started to really feel lefty. I went for my 1st ultrasound this morning and there are several large follies in lefty and only a few mid-sized follies in righty. I am to keep my dosage the same today and go back again tomorrow for another U/S. I am guessing I will likely have ER on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. Yeah - I'm so excited to be moving forward!
Thanks to everyone out there who has shared their stories. I feel much less anxious because I know all kinds of things that will happen. I think I am prepared I expect a whole range of feelings and worries and I know that I am not alone in those feelings! I am sure that all the support you all put out there will bring good luck back to you all!
Take care everyone,
Kim

Wondercat, 136 is great! Really anything above 100 is what the docs like to see. Can't wait to hear about your beta (as well as you other ladies) on Monday.
Welcome Kimbob! Good luck at ER next week.
amfm, so sorry things are still delayed. Hope AF comes soon so you can get the ball rolling!
Thank you all for the well wishes on DDs upcoming surgery. It's nerve wracking for sure, but we knew of her heart condition before adoption and knew surgery was always a possibility. Of course we were praying the hole would close on it's own, but God has a reason for everything. If anything, the IVF has been a nice distraction! HA! Sometimes having so many things going on at once makes all of it seem a little less daunting (crazy, I know).
My clinic called today and told me to come in Monday for a 5dt. I was expecting that (don't know what I would have done if I had needed to go in today since my house is still a disaster. DH is an amazing husband and father, but not so much on keeping the house in order). I didn't get a report on how many embies I have left, but it must be more than 3. Last time I went into day 5 with 2 good blasts (not the best, but still good) and 2 they were giving extra time to grow, but didn't make to freeze. Hoping for a little better this time, but it's not in my hands.
I have some REALLY good feelings about a lot of the upcoming betas...hoping mine is included in that!

Nursegator: Congrats on your BFP!!! What day was your transfer?
Axious: Poor thing. I know how you feel Hang in there. Your almost there I've heard if you go to the lab first thing you might get the results the same day. My lab opens at 7am. I'm gonna be there at 6:45am waiting at the door. I'm calling them tomorrow morning to let them know I'm comeing on Tuesday morning. My lab already says Stat, but I want to make sure to tell them also
Wondercat: Congrats!!!
Lady J: How are you doing on your 2ww? Are you ok?
Well I'm still relaxing and waiting for my test on Tuesday I can't wait. I'm tempted to POAS, but I don't think it would show up since I'm only 6 days passed ET. My BETA test is on 8 days passed ET. So I think they BETA is like a really early one where it won't show up on a HPT. What do you guys think? If I took one now would it be accurate?

CaFirstInvitro: My ET was 2/28. I took the HPTs 7dp5dt. I just made sure that the Ovidrel would be out of my system (found out the half life was 38 hours, so I computed it from the hour I took my trigger). I told myself that if it was negative, it could still be too early to test. But, I was going so crazy, I decided to take the risk. My first test took a few minutes to show up-- but I had lots of fluids right before. I waited a few more hours, without drinking anything else or peeing, and the second test came up positive right away! I just hope my beta numbers are good tomorrow. Whether or not it's too early to test for you is impossible to know for sure (every woman's body is different with how much HCG is secreted), but also depends on what kind (and how much) of trigger shot you had.

Hi Ladies.... Just checking in. I just came back fromt he movie... I took my DD to watch Jonas Brothers 3D. Well, As for me. Not much. just waiting for my Beta on Thursday. I want to POAS sooo bad, but if i do, I wonder if it is too soon. I just havent been feeling anything. Cramping here and there but I realized I am more sore from my Heparin injections on mystomach than anything. I had my ER on the 25th of Feb, and a 5dt on Mar. 2nd... do u think if I POAS tonight or tomorrow morning, it would show up by now? I am so cinsidering it, cuz this 2WW is killing me more than the last time.

Jolene: Your test will be here soon too Try to keep your mind preoccupied if you can I've been haveing trouble myself
Lady J: I'm tempted to POAS, but I'm still gonna try to hold out I'm trying really hard.
