YOU GO GIRL!!!...I'm glad your new plan has lifted your spirits and has brought you peace. I myself am using the all natural method and get everything I need through my Naturopathic Doctor, which I've been seeing for 15yrs. My Naturopathic Doctor(57) and his wife(46) just gave birth a year ago after numerous miscarriages throughout the past years to a healthy baby girl who is now 1.
Well, I'm still playing the waiting game at 18DPO and trying to be patient and positive that this is my month to conceive. AF is officially 2 Days late if I calculated right and we should know by weeks end.

So my DH went out with a few friends for a while and the HPTs in my bathroom were calling my name so I POAS. The line is faint but it is there! I went right to my girlfriend's house because I wanted to make sure I wasn't seeing things and both her and her DH saw it!!!
Since I did it at 6:00 tonight I will do it again with my FMU tomorrow morning. It is so hard to keep a secret from my DH but I want to surprise him for his bday on Friday!
I have NEVER seen any line of anykind before so I am soooo excited to pee again tomorrow morning.
Congrats!! Hope you see an even darker line tomorrow!
As for me Im so nervous about my 2nd beta tomorrow...I cant help but think its another ectopicEctopic pregnancy..with my numbers being so low....I can feel it in my gut now that things wont be ok.. :(
I know I might just be psyching my self out...or its a defense just in case..I just dont know what to think and just want to know already! Great I get to analize my beta's but wont know for sure until my U/S and thats like 1 1/2 to 2 wks away...
I am feeling kinda guilty because I find myself not as attached to this baby...I mean in my heart I am but my brain is trying to convice me not to...does that sound weird..
Ugh this truely *****!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!...KellyD0731. Can't wait to celebrate again tomorrow.
Butterflybabies it is normalNormal saline flush to feel impatient and nervous considering what you've already gone through. Please think positive thoughts and know that God will take care of your needs and desires. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
Hello ladies!!!!
I'm back!
I am about to get back on the train next week. Stop by and pick me up on Tuesday. I will have my FET then :) Been doing acupunture this time and trying to stay calm and stress free. SSBD to all!
Well got my 2nd beta and its 41...so it rose approprietly and according to everything ive read that is in the normal range...so why would ectopic be a possibility if its in the normal range?? Ugh I just want this to work out so bad....but in my heart I feel its not going to..
Im so sad :(
Tested this morning and it was BFN...very disappointed. Still have my beta tomorrow but I am already prepared for the call tomorrow afternoon when they say it was negative. Hope AF comes soon so I can get back to the fertility meds and such. Can't wait to try again.
By the way I HATE the progesterone suppositories!!!! I have all kinds of cramping and twinging and my bbs are sore. I know it is all coming from the Progesterone because this didn't start until I started the meds and the test was BFN so I know its not pregnancy symptoms.
ughhhhhhh how frustrating!!!!!!
Congrats to the BFPs this month and the newest TWWers!!! I hope to be back in the TWW soon.
Kelly did you retest today? How are u going to tell DH?
Butterfly keep the faith up, try not to think negatively your #'s are on track and more than doubling. I had a lot higher #'s that grew fast and I lost the baby, while other ladies had a lot lower and carried to term. We never know what God has in store for us and stressing can't change anything. Enjoy your BFP and keep positive.
Best of luck to all!
As for me my backache has subsided a little. I find myself yawning a lot more lately (in meetings LOL) and I am going to bed earlier. Since my body/mind definitely tricks me every month I try to remain objective and not read too much into the symptoms.
I got my 2nd beta results from the lab and my doc office just called to tell me the number to..and according to my nurse she said that this would technically be my 1st beta because I wasnt due for AF until this past mon/tues..but I ended up testing at home early..If I wouldve waited till I missed my period and this was my 1st beta than the number is ok...and she said it is to early to tell if its ectopic but the positive is that the number went up nicely...(went up more this time in a shorter period then last time) and the fact that I O'd 3 days later then normal is another factor..and to try not to drive myself crazy when we just dont know anything yet..I dont know what my progestrone is till tomorrow..so hopefully that went up to..according to the hcg chart im in the normal range..fingers crossed!
Also she said that it is to small right now to feel any pain..so heres my question..I know that cramping is normal (I had major cramps my last bfp that ended ectopic) this time my cramps are mild and every once in a while i have pain that goes from my right side then later its my left side...it doesnt hurt to bad but i notice it..what could that be??
Im sorry about your BFN...maybe there is still hope. I am crossing my fingers for you!! And if you have to jump back on the meds train with me keep you head up....this could be the month :)
Natur - Today I am 6dp6dt. My beta isn't until next Wednesday! When are you going to test?
Ashleigh - it is totally possible it could still have worked. I'm hoping your beta tomorrow brings more positive results.
AFM - Well I tested this morning at 4am (because I was so excited to POAS I couldn't sleep) and the line was much darker than last night's. It actually was completely visable and I didn't have to look at it and wonder.
I caved and gave my DH his bday present tonight. I wrapped up in a box a baby bib of the Cincinnati Reds (our baseball team) and this morning HPT. He couldn't believe it!!! I did it tonight because I leave for work so early before he is even awake and I wanted us to be able to talk about it at dinner tonight and let it sink it. We also have his 3 daughters all this weekend so I thought tonight was better....and I couldn't wait any longer.
Just like last night I again can't wait for tomorrow morning to POAS again to see an even darker line. My beta isn't until next Wednesday and I am contemplating calling the RE to see if I should come in sooner. As of today I am 6dp6dt and it was a "natural" cycle so I had no injections to deal with.
I don't know if I will POAS this time. My beta is scheduled for 11dpiui this time, which is Monday(yay). Last time I had to wait 18 days till I got the results because the beta was done the Friday of Labor Day weekend and they weren't open again until Tues. I got my period by then so I already knew. I would try to move the beta too. Why wait? Happy for you!
so today is 10dpiui, i tested and got a negative. i tested the other day and got a negative as well, but am assuming day 8 was to early. i would think by day 10 it would be accurate. i really thought that 2 years and 5 months, this was it. i will test again sat on day 12. i am trying for my first, has anyone had a negative turn positive in the last couple days?
YES I have ;0) My last pg I KNEW I was pg (nipples hurt from 2DPO WEIRD) Anyway, I tester like on 8DP - 9DPO-10DPO- 11DPO @ night & I thought I saw the 2nd line, but maybe a ghost line, then tested w/FMU on 12DPO & I got my II ;)
I THINK I'm DONE w/testing early (we'll see;) But I really just want to wait til at least 12DPO or 13DPO cuz it OCULD take 12DPO to implant!
Don't loose hope ;)
waiting4baby- I tested 12dpo and got a negative..tested again on 13dpo and got a positive..your still early,, it all depends on when that baby implanted! Good Luck!
Crumbs - I have a meeting this morning until 10:00 and then I am going to call me RE. I'm nervous to go in early....what am I talking about, I'm nervous about everything!
Natur - what if you waiting until Sunday and tested? That way it is the day before your actual test.
Well I tested again this morning with FMU and it was negative. REALLY didn't want to go to the doc for my beta because I knew it was just going to confirm what I already know. The nurse said she would call this afternoon with my results. Im praying that its just too early to catch on a HPT but I don't want to get my hopes up. If it's negative then I am looking forward to AF coming so we can try again.
Good luck to everyone in the TWW and congrats to the BFPs!!!!! SSBD!!!!!
I just got my progestrone results from yesterday and it went from 8.3 monday to 22 thursday...I am on suppositories but I only took 3 doses before this test...everything ive read indicates this is a good sign...
With my previous preg/ectopic..my progestrone went from 9 to 12 to 10....so Im starting to get excited that this might actually be ok!
I had my final U/S and B/W today. My transfer is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. I started my progesterone shots today to. I am getting excited! This cycle I am doing FET and it seems much easier than the fresh cycle. Not as many meds and appointments this time. My acupunture Dr overbooked today so I didn't get to see him but I will be there Tuesday before and after my transfer. Wish me luck :)
butterflybabies-Thank you for the good luck. This was my first Iui with clomid, hcg shot and progesterone suppositories. Best wishes to you.
I am still waiting for my results. Does anyone have Kaiser and have to wait over 12 hours to get lab results? I called to get my results and the guy said they werent available yet but the lab is 24 hrs. Labs was taken at 11AM. I hope I dont have to wait until Monday.
Naturschld let us know how things go tomorrow with your beta. You are a day behind me and I am waiting to test until at least wed/thurs until I am officialy late. Getting nervous. Been having cramping back ache and sore bbs just started yesterday. All signs of both pg + af..... sigh.
OMG! OMG! OMG! BFP.. BFP! i am just freaking out. i cant believe it! Hopefully i will be able to get in to the docs right away to confirm with blood work!
My obsession is kicking in. LOL This morning woke up with increased CM and a tinge of pinkish brown blood (TMI sorry). I'm trying to stay positive and convince myself it is late implantation, and ignore the pressure I'm beginning to feel just before AF. Please don't let it be AF!!!!
Well, I got my first beta yesterday (11dp 5dt) and it was 205. I know I should be thrilled but I am scared to death. My bb's are still sore but the weird feeling in my stomach seems to have diminished. After 5 miscarriages, I am really afraid to get my hopes up. I go for my next beta tomorrow.
Hey all,
Please include me in this train...I am 12dpiui. This 2ww is killing me. ttc for 1 year.
A little background:
Started the treatment in June 09
1st cycle : natural, BFN
2nd cycle: Fertyl (something like clomid), got 3 follicles, hcg trigger , bd'ed the same day and next, BFN
3rd cycle: Letroz, Couldn't continue the cycle as i had flu and cold and had to take medication for it. I had my AF on Sep 25.
4rth IUI on Oct3 - fertyl, 2 follicles, ovidrel,
My Doc wants me to come only on Oct26, this waiting time is killing me...feeling little tired and temperature seems to be up....no other symptoms...not sure if it worked this time..
I really feel encouraged by reading this forum...thank you all for sharing...
...well, i'm 10dpo and it's night time here and i still have cramps that seem to be quite consistent. Should i be worried? I never got cramps like this before and they are the same, but something is different about them compared to AF cramps???
This morning i tested and got a BFN...i'll wait till monday to test again. I'm running out of & store tests!
Well, I'm still playing the waiting game at 18DPO and trying to be patient and positive that this is my month to conceive. AF is officially 2 Days late if I calculated right and we should know by weeks end.
GOD BLESS EVERYONE ON THIS 'GOOD LUCK TRAIN'!!!

I am feeling kinda guilty because I find myself not as attached to this baby...I mean in my heart I am but my brain is trying to convice me not to...does that sound weird..
Ugh this truely *****!
Butterflybabies it is normal to feel impatient and nervous considering what you've already gone through. Please think positive thoughts and know that God will take care of your needs and desires. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
butterflybabies: Good luck tomorrow. Hope your numbers are good enough to let you relax a little.
Wishing you both sticky beans.
I had 2 5dt and got a faint positive line on hpt 10dpt. I am going to wait until tomorrow to test to see if the line is darker.
Butterfly babies - The first time I got pg, I was picking out names for the baby. I was devastated when I miscarried. 5 miscarriages later, I am pg again with donor eggs. I'm keeping a distance with this too. I think it is normal so we don't get hurt again. I pray it'll work out for us this time around!
I'm back!
I am about to get back on the train next week. Stop by and pick me up on Tuesday. I will have my FET then :) Been doing acupunture this time and trying to stay calm and stress free. SSBD to all!
Congrats Kelly!
