Testing April 13

[AMD]

I had my ET on 4/4 and I am very anxious for test results on 4/13. I want to take HPT, but I am certain results will be negative. Any advice?

My advice is to hold out. I just feel that unnecessary anxiety comes with pretesting (postivie and negative results). But who am I to talk... I am not there yet. I will be tranferring around a week from today, so I don't know what I will be thinking. But I plan on not testing. Or trying not to.
Good luck.

Well, today I just have that feeling that I am going to get a BFN on Thursday. Shed a few tears a church this morning. I know I shouldn't worry because that won't help anything, but it is hard not to let this whole situation take over. Anybody else feeling the same?

Hi, I know we are not supposed to test, but I think if you are feeling really down and are prepared for a negative, maybe it's ok... I had heavy AF cramping on Saturday night and started getting panicky, so decided to test on Sunday morning (my test date is 12th April). I was astounded to get a BFP! Now just hoping that it will be confirmed by the blood test... Mind you, if it had been negative I would have told myself that it was too early!!
Good luck with whatever you decide and try to hang in there.

I am from Longview, TX but my IVF done in Plano. eBen driving back and forth just about every other day. It's a long three-hour trip and traffic is never good, so that is hard, too.

AMD - I am also testing on 4/13 and had my transfer on 4/4. I had AF cramping for 3 days, then no cramping for 2, now today I have slight AF cramping on and off. It is very weird - that is for sure. Of course we are all extra sensitive b/c of what we are going thru and that doesn't help.

I started crying Thursday night for no reason - I was hysterical. My hubby didn't know what to do with me - I was just absolutely positive this wasn't going to work and my period was right around the corner. That mood carried into Friday.

On Saturday - I woke up after 10 hrs of sleep, cramping was gone, and my boobs were very sore. I was sure I was pregnant. Same symptoms Sunday.

Today - my boobs aren't sore at all, and the cramping is slight. I feel like it could go either way.

Moral of my story - there is no way to tell. Not until test day. It sucks, I know. I am with you! It is hard not to think negative - but try as best you can to be positive. I believe a good attitude really does help. We are all on so many damn hormones that our moods and symptoms are all over the place. That is why we need each other

In case you haven't done it already - you should add your name to the April test dates thread on the General Forum. That way we can all cheer you on!

Good luck!
