    @AMDR1979, of course you belong here!  I can't wait to here what your bloodwork has in store for  you.  It has previously been the trick in this forum that your husband go in for an SA and boom you get pregnant!  I'm also curious about the colostrum!

    I'm CD28, 9dpo - my lower back is killing me, I have a constant ache/cramp much worse than pms cramps and  my nipples feel like they are going to fall off.  I know it's way too early, but I took a hpt this am and it was negative.  I'll be completely honest, I am going to go buy some FRER's today and probably take tomorrow too.  The Wondfo's I have (not sure if they are real or counterfeit) come up with a faint line at the bottom of the reading area and not where the line is supposed to be so it's making me crazy!

    Good luck ladies!!

    FF tells me that I'm 3 dpo, but the opk was at peak 2-3 days earlier, so who knows.  My temps aren't super reliable because I have to get up between 4-5 am every morning for DD, but I continue anyway because it makes me feel I have some semblance of control, esp during 2ww.  No real symptoms, and I'm going to do my very best this month to not pay any attention to the little twinges and sensations that are just part of the mental waiting game.  I'm just not going to think about testing or give myself deadlines.  I'm feeling very zen at the moment; we'll see how long that lasts!   =))

    Good luck to everyone!
    @thistle8677 I hope all the bunny bding does this trick for you!
    @amdr1979 let us know, especially about the colostrum!  So amazing what our bodies decide to do...

    My clinic called and the dummy that put my labs in didn't order an HCG count??!!!!!! The first test back was a progesterone test which was at 19. She said that indicated I ovulated last week. Which makes no sense and I tried to explain why I was getting bloodwork. So now she is having them run a pregnancy test.
    Oh and they doing a thyroid panel too. I have a sneaky suspicion I have an underfunctioning thyroid if I'm not pregnant

    Not sure if I count because of my weird ovulation response. I am CD17 and I feel like I should be 4DPO, but for 4 days in a row it has been a high peak reading rather than peak (See other thread: https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12602876/opk-observation-and-question#latest  ). So, I guess we are still in BMS mode , even though I am about a week away from being able to test. I am recovering from a concussion, so i am assuming the nausea is from that.

    I'm CD23 and am going out of my mind! I want to test NOW, but I know it's way too early. I thought waiting for O day was hard....now it's two weeks of pure hurry up and wait! I felt a twinge in my abdomen yesterday, but it was probably just gas...lol

    Well blood test came back negative. Pretty much stayed in bed all day yesterday I was so depressed.
    Now they are doing a thyroid panel to see why I've been sluggish, nauseous and missed my period. Really down. Now I need my dang period to start so I can start another month of this

    I think AF is rearing her ugly head tonight, I just started spotting and am extremely depressed.  I just don't know what is next for us.

    I think I'm out this month. Just got my progesterone result of 1.8, so it looks like Clomid failed. I'm so bummed. I came home from work, put on my jammies and am enjoying a glass of wine. I hate being so emotionally vested and feeling like a failure. Ugh...

    @rowennagal since our QOTW was our favorite quotes, I will share this one with you... It's another of my favorites and supports your good cry.  Sometimes that's really what's needed... or more than one's fair share of ice cream.  Glad you're feeling better.

    Update:  FET went very well, both ccs normal blasts thawed, fully expanded, and were hatching.

    My regular RE was called away at the last minute and did not perform my transfer but I am trying not to focus on that.

    I POAS this morning, just to have a baseline negative to compare all the hpt's I take in the coming days!!!

    There is not an hcg trigger shot with a frozen cycle so I can POAS right away, though it will not show anything for likely days.

    Anyone else that will be testing soon???

    Wishing everyone well!!!!!
