Hi tortillachip,
I know how you are feeling? Infact I was having those pms symptoms from the time I had ET and I would cry to God why I had to get the af all the time. I couldn't resist myself and I POAS the day of my expected af and saw the great BFP but still I would get the cramps and be worried. It was nerve wrecking to wait for my 2nd beta as I had it in my mind that something will be wrong. But all came well. Now I am nervous for u/s. So you see we keep stressing out till we have the baby in our arms. So try to relax as much as you can. BTW what is baseline bloodtest as I didn't have it. I had my beta test after my 18dpr.

That was my last beta. Now it is a waiting game until the ultrasound on 8/15. That seems like so far away. Do RE usually do more than 2 betas? Or are my numbers so strong that they think that it will be okay until the scan?

Hope you gals are having a great day!

Amazu: Thanks for your understanding. It sure does make me feel better to know that all you prego gals still had some pms symptoms. I'll try to keep a positive outlook :) I guess it wasn't a "baseline bloodtest"...it was just to check my estrogen and progesterone levels. I'm sure it feels like forever waiting for the sonogram...it does seem like we're all worry warts because we've been down the long road of infertility!

4fanops: Congrats on your numbers. You go girl!

Venus: My thoughts are with you. Let us know when you get the news!

Already blessed: Maybe I sure to try to get a puppy out of this! What a great idea! Hee! Hee!

Hi Venus~
So sorry to hear your news. :( You have a wonderful attitiude though, and with this process, I truly believe that is half the battle. I know so many people that tried unsuccesfully time and time again, and then all of a sudden, it happened. Stay positive, stay strong. I will be praying for you.

sorry ladies..i read back on ur posts and realized most of you have had 2nd betas...anyone having any symptoms..what can't we consume besides caffeine, chocolate, of course alcohol? More milk? I usu don't drink that on a regular basis. My questions probably sound silly, but i've just never been preggers before...

Hi ladies,
Venus25 - Sorry to hear abt your BFN. But alreadyblessed is correct you never know when is your time. When you least expect you will be pg. I know you are very strong and next time will be your lucky charm. I will pray for you.

Babyloves - Congrats on your beta! It sure looks great. Let us know the second and then we can start our guess. They say that you should drink dairy product 3 times a day but I don't know whether it is so imp during this early week. But then you should be getting proper nutrition as the baby starts developing now.

Alreadyblessed - I know how much frustrating it must be to wait for a week to know how your embies are growing. Same with me. I am getting tired with this waiting game. I am also anxious to know how many is there. I have started imagining that there is twins but then everything is in God's hand. Good luck for tuesday and don't jump seeing the huge increase as it will be a whole week.

4fanops - How are you doing? You must be getting excited to see your baby like me. I am frustrated as it will be almost 7 weeks for me. But then when I have waited for so long, this should be nothing.

Amy- How are you doing? I read your other post.Don't worry too much. Your baby should be fine. Just believe in god and try to relax and eat properly.

AMAZU~ How funny that we all think alike. You were saying not to jump if I see the big beta as is has been almost a week. I have already calculated the lowest it should be and the highest it should be (doubling every 2-3 days) Can you say "Too much time on my hands". :lol: I am definitely nesting though. I am driving my DH crazy. I want to know why the pipe that comes in through the wall to the toilet never really gets scrubbed, we have cleaned out 2 huge closets over the past 3 days, and I'm considering getting both cars detailed because the rugs don't look clean to me. I'm either in mother mode, or I've officially gone insane. (Ah what the heck, I'll be nuts, but the house will be immacuate) :)

Hi all,
I hope you had a great weekend! My BETA is tomorrow morning and I'm just so full of emotion. I have been tearing up for no reason all weekend. I think it's a combination of stress, excitement, and anxiety! Wish me luck. I took a HPT this morning with a BFN...I just hope it's wrong!
