July Cycle Buddies-FET anyone?

Mrs IVF -
I second what Katie says!!!! DO NOT poas at this point! You really should wait until 8dp5dt. Just like Katie said, I had NO symptoms at all with my first ivf & that blessed us with our daughter. You have been through a lot, and I know it's easy to kind of sink into yourself at this point & pull away...but please lean on your girlfriends and your dh as much as you can & wait a few more days to test.

I'm not expecting it to say positive when I POAS but some people did get a positive after 5dp5dt and I would love just to see. I don't think I would get upset unless it's 8dp5dt and still a BFN. I just have to feel like I'm doing something.

[KatieG]

MrsIVF as long as you know the chances are slim to none!! Keep us updated and we are sending sticky vibes!

Hello Ladies,
Hope you re all doing well on your leg of this incredible journey. I went for a blood test Monday and a ultrasound today. So far things look good. Scheduled for another ultrasound on Friday with possible ER on Sunday.
Knowing who and when to tell is tough, With my 1st IVF I told the admin , they were supportive, but it was really hard/emotionlly drainiing when it failed so for the second ivf I only told my close friend a work. Right now I on summer vacation, so I haven had to deal with that. Each time I did take a day after ET.

Well I should get some rest, early acupuncture appointment tomorrow.
Heidi

Great post KatieG!
I just wanted to sy good luck tomorrow. I did a HPT yesterday( I had one left from a set of 2 and could not not use it! )it was negative. But it arn't over until it's over-see what the blood test show tomorrow.

Hi Ladies
Hope everyone is well. . .argh sounds like few of us are in the final throes of the terrible terrible 2ww. Wishing you lots of strength in the final push. There is a reason POAS are universally called evil. Its because they are! Why oh why do we do it - we hope it gives us comfort but really it just kills us over when you see the negative - and TRULY you can't know for sure until you have the Beta on the day its scheduled.

Macsi - oh that's cool that your in the same place! I wonder if we've met? I haven't been at the clinic much this time - just once for a blood test. I see DD was born 2006. Maia was born Nov 2006 too. Not to pry - but was your daughter a natrual pregnancy?

We don't have to keep this going – but wondered if it was easier to track if people updated list. Don't want to be a 'late thread joining interfering upstart' though - so TWI if people don't want to update. Have tried to put in order of where at.

All my energy going out to Katie and Macsie who are next up. Big ups and huge waves of positive baby vibes to you both. I really hope Friday brings good news.

Krissy is so my IVF twin(lol)...so I broke down and did a HPT last night(even though I KNEW it was too early) as you all know it was a BFN. I promised myself to not do another one until Friday night, probably Saturday morning since I'm supposed to be going out that night.
HPT's are PURE EVIL...I felt like they were even calling me in my dream. Yeah, in my dream I had to tak a test and could pee. Tell me that doesn't suck. Still having the vivid dreams w/no recollection of anything as soon as my alarm for my pills go off.
So, how is everyone else doing? Loads of baby dust and sticky vibes to everyone

[KatieG]

Macsi I hope the HPT are wrong for you!! They are evil. I did not POAS with my first IVF in 2008 ( I was to scard to be disappointed) Its just hard once your know what to expect. MRS IVF the 2ww SUCKS and can feel like forever but just try to relax( easier said then done). Well I went in for me BETA today so when I hear I will tell. I am not overly confidnent b/c I know so much can change or happen. One you get a positive the worry never ends until that sweet baby is born it sorta makes the 2ww seem easy. MELO thanks for the update list that really helps! Nelisiwe take it easy on your bed rest and try not to make yourself crazy. Heidi good luck w/ your upcoming ER. Krissy How are you feeling?

[TammyS]

Katie! Good Luck today! Crossing all my crossables and sending prayers! How are you? How is Parker?

[KatieG]

Hi Tammy! We are good how are you? Can you believe our little ones are almost 2? Blows my mind! I'm sorry about your MC back in April. I was reading some from your thead about possible ectopic. If you dont mind me asking what were your beta numbers were like? I am glad you are back on the wagon. Good luck on your ER. How is it going so far? What is your estimated follie count? Is Zach talking up a storm? Parker is repeating everything and telling me exactly whats on his mind. It is such a fun age but sad that he is already this big!

[TammyS]

We're doing well. Zach has his moments where he repeats things and talks up a storm and then many days nothing. He understands everything and is on track with everything...so everyone keeps telling me not to worry that he will just explode any day now. When he does talk...it is very very clear...and he did have his tongue tie clipped in NICU (family history made me check him and sure enough)...so I'm just patiently waiting now. lol Like you said, this is such a fun age...it's my favorite age so far.

It wasnt ectopic after all.
My betas were:
12dpo 29
19dpo 524
26dpo 515

My ER is tomorrow! I am soo thrilled to finally be trying again...though I cant believe that I am here still trying for a sibling. We were supposed to be done after the FET in April (no matter what the outcome), but quickly changed our minds when we lost our baby. I cant even explain what changed in us...except that our desire to have another baby and a sibling for Zach to grow up with...became even stronger than we ever thought possible.

I am hoping and praying for you this afternoon! Please let us know.

[MrsIVFinNYC]

So I'm 5dp5dt and I feel nothing. No cramps, no swelling, no bloating...nothing...I'm just emotional and weepy but I only get that way when I think I may not be pregnant. I'm worried. Anyone else feel like that and then get a BFP?

[TammyS]

Mrs IVF...Yes, I think we all feel like that. Any symptoms you'd be feeling right now would be from the meds and not pregnancy...so count yourself lucky and normal right now. You're 2ww wait is almost up...hang in there. Try to stay out of crazytown.
