amfmbaby - yes too early, please don't get worried b/c the little embies don't like stress! I made a comment to my husband about doing a HPT when it gets closer and I got the lechter of the year. GEEZ! So i wil try to wait but its sooo hard. Especially since my beta is a day late b/c of the holiday.
So to all of you that are closer to beta and have symptoms of pregnancy. At what point did your symptoms start? I know it is too early for me now but I feel like it is going to be hard to tell b/c the fertility hormones have already made my boobs "fuller"and my stomach crampy.
Hi all!
I am on day 3 past 5dt and I am so anxious I can't stand it! How did all of you make it through? The days are creeping by and all I think about are those 2 embryos that I saw enter my uterus on transfer day and wonder if they are still developing or are they already gone? Any advice on how to spend the next 7 days? Also- I do not have symptoms - a little cramp here and there and breast swelling/tenderness, but I am connecting that to the progesterone. What type of symptoms should I be having and when?... to give me hope of a BFP?
Faith77. I have the same feeling as you. No symptoms, just mild cramps and breast tenderness. Im on my 5w prengancy now and might be having twins or triplets...I survive the 2WW by praying. I didn't do any Hpts as well. Keep your hopes up and keep on praying.
trx0424- Thanks for the encouragement- I need it! Congrats on your conception- is it a result from your 1st IVF cycle?
I have also promised myself- no HPT- I tortured myself with them with all my IUI's
Faith77. this is my ist IVF that's why i am really very to God for this miracle. I didn't do any Hpts cause is might add to my stress if will have Negative result. Anyways, they said hpts are not always accurate. God be with you on your beta day. Just keep on praying.
I am in my 2WW and actually due to the holiday it has turned into 16 day wait. I am on day 6 of 16 today and for some reason it has hit me hard today. I feel many of the same symptoms already discussed; crampy on and off; sore breast; bloated and ect which makes you question even more. I am trying to remain hopeful but also know that this is only my first IVF cycle. I do have 5 frozen remaining which I feel truly blessed about. I think one of the hardest parts is the transition from being monitored so closely and being seen in the MD office and being told updates almost daily to nothing for 2 weeks. I find myself googling all kinds of things and reading blogs and messages. The overwhelming feeling of wanting to see if anybody out there feels like I feel today is what brought me to this message board.
I am contiuing to attempt to praise Him during my waiting but it seems like each day it is getting harder and harder since I have waited 10 years to get to this point.
soon2Bblessed - first of all, don't be concerned b/c all of those symptoms can be related to pregnancy just as much as AF. Alot of women cramp in the beginning even when they are pregnant. Also, the hormones that they have us on, causes some of these symptoms. I myself have felt like that since the ER. so don't worry, the little embies don't like it!
As far as the emotional side. I kinda of chuckled when I read your comment about googling everything. I am surprised my own computer hasn't blown up yet. I was put on bedrest after RE b/c of complications which has made it that much worse. I am bored, so I sit in bed with the laptop and look up every little thing about IVF. So your not alone. The 2 weeks is hard, but try to stay positive.
wishing you lots of luck!!!

Waiting25- Welcome!
It seems we are on the same schedule. I can not wait for Friday morning- My Beta Test is @ 8am. But, I am sure the hours waiting for the phone to ring w/ results will be hard too:)
I have also been having "twinges" of pain they last a few minutes and then go away- is that what yours are doing? Other than those twinges, most may cramping has subsided, my breasts are still tender, but not as much as last week.
ALL- I get worried b/c I am starting to feel better each day, and I am scared that means I am not going to get a BFP.
Anyone feeling similiar??
dixie_chop- are you feeling better? still on bedrest and specific diet?
well ladies I got to test 2 days early and it's a BFP for us we go back in 2 days for 2nd beta I am 10dp 3dt so 13po and I got faint line on 8dpt my trigger shot was gone y 6dpt so I called ny nurse and went in this morning.. Good luck to all
Dixie chop I feel the same way my breast tenderness is easier this week and nothing else realy keep faith and stay busy your day will be here before you know it

Faith77 .. Yes we are on the same cycle .. My beta is at 9:30 on friday and i'm a scardy cat so i am staying and waiting on my number and result. My twinges are just like your .. as of last night i get real light heading when i get up from sitting i don't know what that is all about and my boobs are not tender at all which i thought i would never pray for .. but they do seem fuller.. then i just think its all in my head. I feel so normal that it scares me. Just sit here waiting on friday.
Good luck to all!!!

All~ Today seemed to be my worse day yet. On the verge of tears ALL day long. I think I just need a real good cry. All my friends and family keep saying how hard it is for them to wait this long to find out and that makes me want to scream even more. I think this 2WW may be harder than the 10 years I have been struggling with infertility. My husband and I agreed at the start that we would not take a HPT so I am trying hard to live up to that. I have 6 more days to wait for my test. Non of my symptoms have really changed but some days I do feel better than others. I JUST WANT TO KNOW!!!!! I am trying to stay busy which consist of my planning a baby shower for a friend of mine who is pregnant with her 6th natural child. Yes I said 6th child. Planning and going to this showe is a little challenging but she is a great friend and I am so happy for her, but it is hard.
Well lots of happy thoughts all yalls way!!!!!

Waiting25- We have 1 more day- I cannot wait until tomorrow, this has been a long long wait. I am still hopeful- but I know the reality is that is could still be a BFN. Let us know when you get the results...
soon2Bblessed- I am on my last day of 2ww- tomorrow maorning is my Beta- I can totally relate with you the waiting is worse than the shots in my opinion. All I can say is try to stay busy and positive. I wish I had magical advice to make this easier (if I did, I would be rich woman!) I promised myself no HPT- and although difficult I have stayed away from them. I think there are too many inaccurate readings on them that would play with my emotions even more. Good Luck!
Hello ladies!! I am now in my 2WW as well. My beta is the 29th at 8am. My husband and I decided that we would take and HPT at home that morning, cause we want to find out when we are together and alone. I know they aren't 100% but hopefully it will be accurate for us. **Fingers Crossed**
Praying for BFP's for all of us!!! Good luck ladies!!!!
Ct michele .. i did ask the nurse and she also said what you told that anything below 100 is not considered fever am alot better today ...
Thanks ..
faith 77 : I haven't done hpt as well.. I hope we get a BFP !!! good luck
So i wil try to wait but its sooo hard. Especially since my beta is a day late b/c of the holiday.
I was put on bedrest after RE b/c of complications which has made it that much worse. I am bored, so I sit in bed with the laptop and look up every little thing about IVF. So your not alone. The 2 weeks is hard, but try to stay positive.
