hjw my thoughts are with you and your DH. I can understand how much you wanted this to work...I can understand how much everyone on here wants this to work. We're always here on the board if you need to type, vent, cry, or whatever!

rikirees I'm starting to feel much better. I have slight cramping off and on as well. And I think DH is going to be pretty upset when he gets the high water bill because I've flushing about every 30 mins.

All the fluids and powerades they have me drinking is annoying! My beta is not until May 11th.

Sportsmom- I got OHSS with my first ever cycle and I KNOW how painful it can be. My transfer had to be canceled, which is why I do FET cycles now. My body can't handle all the meds together with a fresh transfer. My OHSS was so bad I almost had to be hospitalized, liver and kidneys started to shut down:( The problem was if they transferred and I got PG, the OHSS would last for several more weeks. I hope you feel better VERY soon.

How are you feeling Sportsmom?
Mom2luke- any signs or symptoms?
I have been through the 2ww many times before but this time I am starting to feel negative so early on, like it didn't work. The last time, when I got my BFP, I kinda had a feeling it was positive. Maybe it is too ly to tell anything yet. I am peeing a lot and having some minor cramping, and abdominal discomfort. No boobie soarness,
What about you guys? The ones that got BFP's did you have any idea + or - a few days later?

Rikirees today I have had a serious headache all day, some cramping, and I just bawled my eyes out watching The Notebook for the 100th time. But right now I am going to blame that on the progesterone. LOL! And for the last two nights all I've dreamed about is babies. Its a long time until beta (sigh)

Hazel. I am so so sorry. I was so upset in February when we got our negative but a lady at the hospital where my neice was having her baby said that her daughter had done IVF with a BFN then did it again right away for the second time and that was the baby she was having that day. That's why we went right back into it. In the beginning I was a little confused and would cry at the drop of a hat because I didn't feel like I gave myself time to heal after the first negative. BUT here I am 2 months later and pregnant. So don't give up. Take the time that you need and if you can try again, do it. Also, I did the assisted hatching and I strongly feel like that's what did it this time so you might want to talk to your doctor about that.

Cling to your hubby. You have each other and that's the most important thing. He loves you no matter what just like you love him. You need each other more than ever right now. Also, do something for yourselves. That always makes me feel better.

Good luck on your next time hun. Try to relax...it will happen one day...

Hey guys - I can finally post in the 2ww board! We transferred 2 great embryos this morning, both were hatching already, which the clinic said was good. My beta is scheduled for May 13, which seems like forever from now, even though I guess it is only 10 days... We did decide that if this doesn't work, we will try again soon. They froze one remaining embryo today and said they may have one or two more to freeze tomorrow.

It was kind of weird, at the last minute they gave us the option to only transfer one, but we'd gone this long thinking that we would do two, so that's what we went with. Also, we did PGD, so they were able to tell us the gender of the embryos. We weren't sure if we would want to know or not, and we remained undecided until this morning when we decided to go ahead and find out. I'm hoping it will help me visualize good things the next two weeks!!!

Hey ladies,

sorry i haven't posted as much as I normally do all over these boards, but I must admit, my pma is shrinking. I have been doing hpts everyday, and all negative. I know it could still be early, but it is hard not to get depressed. I thought it wouldn't bother me as much this time around, but it does. If I am like last time, I wouldn't see a faint line until tomorrow afternoon even though my beta is on tuesday, but I was really hoping to see a positive by now.

I can't help but think about what we will do if we get a negative. Insurance runs out this time, and we took out a $4000 loan to freeze and cover fees this time, so how will I possible afford another $5000 for an immediate FET? I hope I don't have to worry about it, but I can't help but think about it. I haven't cried yet this cycle, but dh just went to work and the emotions are all hitting me as beta is just 2 days away now. My mom keeps reminding me that I have my beautiful ella, which of course I am blessed to have, but it is just so unfair that money will end up being the deciding factor on whether or not we get to expand our family.

Ugh, sorry to vent and not do personals, I am just getting overwhelmed at this point. Please pray for me!

CT-Michelle: I know exactly how you are feeling. I am only 3 days post transfer, I just got off bed rest, and I am totally down in the dumps feeling like this time didn't work. I don't test until Friday, and I will not do a HPT, but I just have this feeling. I have had no cramping, or bloating really or any sensation that my 1 frostie snuggled in. We MUST look on the bright spot, we both have beautiful DD's at home we can hug and kiss and be loving on if it doesn't work out for us. We are also young, so we have that working for us. The money part is harder and makes infertility so much complicated. That I can't help you with.
I have had several BFN's and am used to the feeling already. But, I will be praying for you and that you get BFP this week. When do you test? Tuesday?

Michele I know how the worry and the negative feelings are easy to have and hard to overcome. Just keep thinking that you do have a few more days for it to turn around. One day does make a difference! I have the same worries as you about the finances. My DH and I don't even know what we'll do if this doesn't work out for us and how we'll get additional funds to cover a FET. I'll keep praying for you and for all of us to receive our miracles.

rikirees--i have had cramping for the past couple of days off and on but thats it. took a HPT today (just for fun) and it was negative so at least i know the hcg is out of my system. i swore i wouldn't POAS but i broke down and so did my husband and we bought 2.

does anyone know if you don't implant would you still then cramp?

and whats the earliest someone has taken a HPT and it came up positive?

i'll probably test on wed. just cause i can't stand the suspense. thisis the hardest part of it all for me.

Progesterone causes cramping so it is heard to tell if the cramping is from the meds or from the embies snuggling in for the long haul. I had cramping with my BFN's AND my BFP, it is just too hard to tell what it is from.
I just keep telling myself that normal women who get pregnant don't even really find out until around 8 week and some, besides missing a period, have no symptoms. I also keep telling myself it is ok to think negatively, and then IF it is a BFP I will be pleasantly surprised rather than bitterly upset.

mom2luke, I got a BFP 8dp3dt. Tabatha and I had our ET on the same day and my BFP showed up 2 days before hers so I believe she was at 10dp3dt. Not sure what prompted me to test so early. I wasn't having any significant symptoms at the time...just impatient I guess

I did have cramping, some days felt like AF was coming but it was closer to 10-11dpt. I've been on PIO injections for about 6 weeks now and can't say that I've felt any cramping like the first week after ET. So I'm not sure if it was the progesterone or the embryo(s) settling in. Who knows. Like rikirees says, it's so hard to tell with all the meds we've been on and everyone's body is different. When was your ET?

mom2luke · Post by **mom2luke** » Mon May 04, 2009 1:17 pm

my ET was last wednesday and it was a 5 day transfer. last night i felt like AF was coming. i know i tested early. but i'm glad kinda, because i know for sure that the trigger shot is out of my system. i'm going to test again on wed. or friday. hopefully friday if i can hold out!! but i said i wouldn't test at all this round and doesn't look like thats true! i find it ironic i start cramping a day after the ET so makes me think they implanted but you never know... and looking back, with my son I had serious cramping, more then normal, and i know thats when he implanted. so i'm flopping back and forth like could be implanting but also feels like how AF comes. anyways--heres to friday!

cymplicity27 · Post by **cymplicity27** » Mon May 04, 2009 2:08 pm

Yeah mom2luke, it's a little early. Wednesday would be a good day to test I think. Good luck!

ct_michele - I'm praying for good news for you. I'm also worried about how we'll get the money to do FET if this doesn't work out, but I'm sure it will work itself out for all of us. I can't decide if I'm going to get on the POAS bandwagon or just wait it out until my beta May 13. My 30th birthday is May 12, so I'm afraid a BFN that day would really be awful, so I might rather wait it out.

I don't think I'm going to be able to tell if anything is an early symptom or just the progesterone. I slept like a rock last night and am exhausted today with a little cramping. My embies were already well into hatching when they were put in...how long until they implant if it's going to work?????

anyone in 2ww?
