Female, 36, Saint Augustine - FL, member since Aug 2007
I am married to a wonderful man that I have known for six years, been married for two. After going through a horrible divorce three years prior to meeting him, I did not recognize the "Boaz" that God had blessed me with. When I FINALLY came to my senses, we married and...
[More] decided to share our lives together.
DH does not have any children and I have two from my previous marriage. Due to the fact that I was very sick during pregnancy (considered very high risk, diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum which is the term used for persistent nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. I was hospitalized very often because I could not hold any food or liquid which made me feel as if I was a failure when attempting to carry my DS and DD, and was then placed on bed rest with both after the fifth month) I had a TL because I thought I was married happily ever after and would not have any additional children (as my OBGYN and a specialist indicated it is quite dangerous for me and the baby during pregnancy).
I now regret that decision to the upmost because I am now attempting to share a child with my DH. Our rollercoaster ride regarding having a baby during the first two years of our marriage has been emotional draining. DH keeps reminding me that he loves me regardless and we can stop ttc and it would not change his love for me or the kids.
Before getting married he knew I had a TL and wanted me to know that he wanted us to share our love and raise "our" children together and he would be fine with that. Well, I am not. I want God to bless us with children. I know the risk and am willing to take it.
This site has been a "Life Saver". Thank you all who offered such wonderful advice and just listened when I needed to vent. I could not have made it this far without you!

I would wait until at least a week (which is probably still too early, but I know the feeling of excitement :) ) Did you get a booster shot of HCG or anything? When did they schedule your beta test?
Good luck! Hoping and praying for the best for you!!

I know how you feel.... the wait is so frustrating. I think you should wait on the EPTs until at least 3 days prior. It could really mess with your head and cause unnecessary stress. Good luck and keep us posted!! SSBD!

Just wanted to check in and see how the wait was going. I am having a hard time waiting for your results. :)
First cycle I didn't test, second cycle I tested the day before the beta (14dpr), 1st FET tested when I started spotting (11dpt), 3rd cycle I didn't test at all b/c the beta is so early(11dpr) the levels are expected to be below that which an HPT pick up. I think you would be safe to test 14 dp retrieval. That should be failry accurate at that point. I am not advocating HPTs b/c I think they are evil and if it comes up negative you are not going to want to continue with meds-at least I didn't and I stopped-not a good thing to do.

I am an emotional rollercoaster right now. I know I should not have done this BUT I did it anyway. Well, here it goes.......Around 3:00 am, I had to urinate so I figured I would test to determine if a positive was showing yet AND there was a faint line, but an obvious line. I was so excited, I could not sleep again, well, around 8:30 am, I tested again with a different test AND it read......NOT PREGNANT. Needless to say, I have been devastated all day.
I know the beta is on the 14 but I should be able to see something by now, I thought.

OOOPs, sorry SDScientist. I just read your post. I have missed you. I am definitely being a big emotional baby now.
I see now why it is better NOT to test. You get yourself all WORKED up!
