SD - staying grounded with IVF - if you can do that then let me know how!!! I think in beta hell we should always be cautious but hopeful. I was prepared for the worse but kept some hopes for the best. Sorry I can't help you with cramps, I had to take a shot to miscarry, didn't want to happen even after I stopped meds. Do you get another beta today? Fingers crossed!
Blair I originally had it scheduled for 12.8 but then my OB said end of this week and I thought oh yeah! So 12.2 it is! How are you feeling? With OHSS my symptoms were weird. So I was freaking out I was not having preggers symptoms, but then yesterday I got super hungry, had a nosebleed and got dizzy so all good signs. I can't wait for the US!
Alright I need all of your PMA, I had this awful dream that at our US the nurse was talking really fast and quiet and the OB wasn't there. She was blabbing on about how at 5.5 weeks our bean was 24mm and that's too big so it is abnormal and not a viable pregnancy. Dh and I we devastated. I know these are just my fears in my dreams but it was a taste of disappointment I don't want I am trying to stay positive but I am freaking out!

Rio- I am feeling pretty normal. I get really hungry and then as soon as I start to eat something I get really full. My boobs are really the most noticeable but im sure some of that is just the meds. Im sooo nervous though. Wish I could have scheduled mine sooner....they almost wanted me to wait until next Monday but when I scheduled she said I could do it 2 weeks from the first beta.
Blessed: It is out of your system yeah…now you know you can never stop..there is no going back…once you start you are
Mellow: So glad to hear you are taking care of yourself with naps…whatever is needed! SO exciting…Beta today—why do they make you wait until tomorrow for beta results? Well, I guess it will be a super birthday present for you. Just so perfect timing—first DH’s birthday and now yours.
SD: You got it. My last sane moment. It is all yours. ((HUGS, too))
Blair: Thanks for checking in and for the positive messages. 12/3 is coming right up and you will get to peek!
Easley: So glad that your injections went well. Good luck with your SnS appts..ER will be here before you know it.
Rio: Deep breaths. All will be well. These fears are so normal after all that you have been through to get where you are. Your bean is going to be just right! Do your best to visualize the positives. I really think these nightmare dreams are normal, but will soon be replaced by such a wonderful reality that they will be chased from your mind.
AFM: Trying to keep the PMA...but as I get closer to Beta day and still no BFP , it gets more difficult...I am still doing the only thing I can at this moment....
Me: 44, endo. & 1 tube due to rupture

Margi - you are a sweetie. always here putting a smile on my face, I posted on the Fall board for you. You might just be one of those non high HCG peeing gals but your beta on Thursday will be a BFP!
Soooooo we made it a long 12 hour drive back home last night....I am glad to be home safe and sound, but now I am really in full POAS addiction. I even did one at a rest stop halfway home. AHHHHHHHHH
I am prying for SD and Rio!!

Hey Margi~ My RE's office transports the blood to their lab at another location after they see patients all day, and that lab is closed when they get it to them...which means they don't run it until tomorrow. It totally sucks, and unfortunately I won't even get those results until late afternoon. UGH.. I'm sorry your still getting a BFN...I am hoping for you, and praying. Hang in there.
Well ladies, I'm out. Got AF today at 10dp3dt and many BFN on the sticks. Good luck to you all. My best wishes for the future. And thanks for having me on your forum, it was great to read all your stories happy and sad!

SD~ Thinking of you. Hope you are holding up okay in all this craziness. Here for you!! I hope your results tomorrow are good, hang in there!
Rio~ I can totally relate to the crazy dreams. Holy cow, how weird are these hormones on us!! Haha. Can't wait to hear how your ultrasound goes this week. So anxious for you. Beta results come tomorrow afternoon for me...I hate waiting...then I will go again for a blood draw on Wednesday and have to wait again until Thursday. Then comes the forever long wait...no ultrasound for 3 weeks....I will be a mad woman by then! Glad you are beginning to feel better everyday.
Margi~ Praying for you...It's going to happen for you!
SD- Hope to hear good news from the beta today. Fingers are crossed for you. I do agree with what you said about compartmentalization. I have defintely become a master at it. Since no one knows we have done any infertility treatments its been crazy. Over the past week I found out my bosses wife is pregnant and a girl i work with is pregnant (and i believe only 9 days ahead of me even though she wont see her MD until Dec 20). Learning when to vent to DH and when to box it up is key in all this. Good luck today.
Rio- I know exactly what you mean with the crazy dream/nightmare. DH woke me up the other night because I was screaming/moaning in my sleep. There was a guy with a mustache in my garage knocking stuff off the shelf (which was making me upset). Then when I started yelling at him he jumped off the shelf to come get me. I jumped off the stairs to try and jump on him and then he started chasing me...needless to say it was weird/scary and crazy. I cant wait to see a pic of your little bean (s). You think its 1 or 2?
Deedle- I am so sorry that AF dropped in unexpectedly. Best wishes in the future and hopefully you will be preggo before you know it.
mellow- Cant wait to hear the beta results!!!! Ive been checking in to make sure I dont miss out.
ladybugg- Sounds like you already won mayor of crazytown. Stopping at a rest stop made me laugh...the POAS addiction kicked in fast.
margi- Any good news yet?? I still have my fingers and toes crossed for you.
AFM- Seriously....could 12/3 be any further away?? My days are dragging on and on waiting for friday to come. On the plus side I am taking that afternoon off and leaving from the appt to go see my friend who had her IVF baby in October (after 6 IVF attempts) which always makes me happy. Just trying to find stuff to do during the days like checking in here to get more good news from you guys.
And the saga continues.... So yesterday at 6dp5dt, in my infinite wisdom (not) I ordered a beta from a local clinic, I figured since it was covered by my insurance why not. mind you Poor IM has no idea I am off the wall in crazy town .... She is going nutz as well and someone has to put up a brave front right?? so anyway they called me back and it was neg... I was kind of disappointed but I know it was still a little early even for a beta....right? I got another neg stick this morning but I still have faith, although I can't stay of the internet to reassure myself. uuugggh Now I am starting to think I should have just left the sticks alone.
