2WW who else is in?
I am offically in my 2WW. I go in for Beta testing on Oct 7th at 7:30a. Who else is on the journey??? I'm sitting here trying not to read too much into anything my stomach is feeling. I was so tense during the proceedure that I think I am just now starting to relax. Let's just pray for no spotting, bleeding, cramping, and Beta levels of at least 150 this time!
thank you so much for the well wishes.. I had the blood test this morning and am now waiting for the results.. This is a difficult day.. Hubby wants me to come home and listen to the results with him. He doesn't want me to be alone regardless of the result.
We are praying for a BFP.. I will let you know.
Hang in there girls.. Sending much love and prayers back to all on this journey.. It really takes a special person with incredible strength to endure this... Hoping you all have good news soon.

I agree with your hubby. If you can, go home and be with him; and let what ever the out come is sink in. How are you feeling? Any new symptoms? Praying for you!
I just took his advice also and put in for a half day at work for Thursday. :-)

Yeah, I really don't want to be in my cubby having a meltdown.. I know when I had my first failed IVF cycle, I was devastated.. couldn't stop crying..
I just have some soreness in my breasts, extremely emotional (probably due to the torture of waiting) and a little nausea and back ache... besides that, the cramping has been very faint.
It is unreal how are bodies can experience so many different things from one cycle to the next and from one person to another.. It all just seems so random.. like there is no "sure" way to tell.. I have read so many blogs and all of the early symptoms have been so different.. It's enough to make you crazy..
I will say this site has brought me comfort.. just knowing I am not alone has been so helpful... I didn't connect on a site last time.. wish I did.. It would have helped..

Wishing you ur well deserved BFP. I would also wait and hear the results with ur hubby. I get my results online and it is really hard not to check it before I see my husband. My beta is tomorrow, so I may try to wait and check results with my hubby this time.
I can't believe it.. I got a BFP today.. HCG was at 47.. going back on Weds to retest..
I am in total shock. I had convinced myself that it didn't work today... crying on and off like a nut.. Just goes to show that I really had no idea at all.
Please let this be an example of hope for everyone.. I am 41 years old, going on 42 at the end of the month. I didn't meet my husband until I was 38.. lots of bad relationships along the way... We married a year later and have been trying ever since with no luck... I have had 3 IUI's and 2 IVF cycles.. I didn't think it was possible.. hubby had abnormal morphology... We had to do ICSI...
The one thing that I did this time was to stay positive and believe me that wasn't easy.... I meditated every day on the way to work.. visualized myself being pregnant, holding a baby.. I know it sounds crazy.. but I did it until it felt real... I also read "The Secret".. made a vision board with pictures of babies on it so I could continue to visualize.. I just made it a ritual... I did a lot of praying too.. and of course, had several emotional breakdowns along the way... but I kept pushing myself to stay positive and not think the worst...
This time I also tried acupuncture.. I think it helped me with my stress level and assisted in producing more eggs this cycle.. There were more and they were bigger....
It also is supposed to help with getting the blood to flow to the ovaries and uterus.. Again, could be psychosomatic, but I believe it helped me..
My symptoms were very similar to my last IVF... lots of cramping on and off.. sore breasts on and off... lower back pain and extrememly emotional.. That was the extent of it.. Again, who the hell knows if it was the drugs or not.. I'm just giving you all my experience because I know how much we all want to hear about what someone experienced before they got their BFP... I think our bodies are all different, so there is no exact tell tale sign... and again, I was convinced I was not pregnant today...
Sorry for the rambling.. but I just wanted to share and tell you to never lose faith.. I told my husband we would not give up until they told us it was impossible... I was going to keep going..
I am hoping the HCG levels continue to rise and all is well.. New set of worries... but it's all good.
God Bless all of you... thanks for sending the kind words..
Wishing you all a positive test..
