And the countdowns on...

This is my first IFV.  We did the embryo transfer on Friday, Jan 29 - transferring 2 on day 5.  We were not able to freeze the other 4 so I'm really hoping this works.  I'm scheduled to test on Feb 10.  I'm freaking out because I woke up this morning feeling crampy (like I'm going to start).  Is this common?  I dont feel pregnant.  Is it too early?
I had a chemical pregnancy with our first IUI (we did 6) and had terrible indigestion and my bbs were so tender it hurt to take a shower - this time NOTHING.  
This waiting is torture!  Good or bad - I just want to know.

I'm sorry I'm just now getting back with you.  It's been a trying time here as well.  My bloodwork confirmed what I already thought - not pregnant.  I didnt think I'd be this affected since we've had several failed IUI's but I have been a wreck.  Today is the first day I havent balled like a baby.  My husband doesnt want to try the IVF again.  We're pretty much tapped out financially so I guess we'll see.  I have a "debriefing" appointment with my doctors next Friday.  Maybe they'll have some suggestions.  

I'm so sorry to hear you're having a hard time.  It truly is disheartening.  I guess we just take it one day at a time and be supportive of one another.  This thread and forum have helped me so much.  

Please stay in touch.  I'd like know how things are going for you.  Feel free to email me ANYTIME!

You're in my prayers.

Needless to say I got called in early to work also. Its been a very emotional day and here I am at midnight still upset and unable to sleep. I really hope you got good news today! I will go do my blood work tomorrow morning 1 day early to comfirm what I already know. We will try again May or June. Please send me an update and if you prefer you can always send me a private email. Let me know! Prayers for you girl!!

Took HPT yesterday (and again this morning).  Both big fat negative.  Blood test tomorrow.  I doubt there's a chance they're wrong but I'm trying to remain positive.

I am doing well. Back to work today which is good so the passes faster. Don't worry about acne...........part & parcel with the Progesterone......I had a couple pop up overnight but left rather just as soon. I will not do an HPT as I don't want to stress myself out any more than this wait already is. If you do...........I wish you  BFP but remember if it isn't your blood work will show different. So don't read too much into it! Other than that how are you feeling? Please make sure you eat good & healthy and take Tums for the indigestions.....they have calcuim in them which is good for the little one! Keep us posted on Wednesday. I am so excited for you!

Sticky Baby Dust to you!!

How are feeling today?  I still have that yucky feeling and no blood test til Wednesday.  I had some indigestion Saturday and Sunday and didnt really eat anything outside of the norm so I thought that was a good sign but today I'm getting a HUGE zit on my chin - I think that could be a sign for a big fat negative!  I told my husband I was going to hold off until Wednesday but I think I'm going to do a HPT tomorrow morning.

Hi Brandie................I'm Brandy. we had our transfers on the same day....cool. I feel exactly the same as you and the dreaded period is due tomorrow. I am certain now all of what I am feeling is the Crinone and am trying to stay away from negative thoughts. I did have an awful nightmare today.....can't control the sub conscionce (spelling). My beta is the 12th and that another 8 LONG days! We are lucky as we do have 3 frozen embryos. I really hope this works for you! Keep in touch!

I test on the 10th and I'm counting the days.  Still dont feel pregnant.  Still feeling kind of crampy - really worried about starting which I know doesnt help matters but it's pretty much impossible not to...I'm sure you're feeling the same way.    
Best of luck to you too!  This is such an exciting time for all of us!

Sounds like we're in the same boat!
I'm so paranoid I emailed my nurse who said many woman complain of the same crampy feeling and are actually pregnant.  Let's pray that's the case! Best of luck to you!
