@Rias - Welcome! Personally, I see nothing wrong with using all the tools at your disposal to help you feel better during this crazy time. If that means POAS every morning to test out the trigger, go for it! It's not hurting you or your potential baby. Hope the 2WW passes quickly for you.

So I officially believe that I have my BFP or more realistically LLP (little light positive). The tests have gotten a little darker. Now just to wait for my beta tomorrow and see how it comes out... although the small bout of morning sickness this morning is making it feel much more real. Never thought I would laugh and be happy after throwing up!

@BenNSarah - Congrats on your LLP and looking forward to hearing about it turning into a BFP!
AFM - I retested this morning and still a BFN at 11dpIUI. I think I'm calling it for this month and moving on to focus on my 1st RE appointment on 4/27. My 21 day progesterone was 9.5, so my OB is planning to keep me on the same dose of letrozole (2.5mg) for this next cycle. I think I'll start this cycle with my OBs course of action, see what the RE says when I go, on what should be cd6, and see if he's willing to take over this cycle from my OB and actually provide some monitoring and maybe go with a trigger shot to help guarantee we get the IUI timed appropriately.

LeanneB82 - I think we decided to POAS on Friday morning. That way DH will have an idea of what the results will be and I will be somewhat prepared either way. KatBH - don't worry so much that you forget to really enjoy the moment! Congrats on the 2nd beta! BenNSarah - Congrats!!! Monica54321 - I'm so sorry! Hugs to you.

@Monica54321 so sorry about your test. I think you'll find that working with an RE is a much better process. With all of the monitoring, you can feel like you really know what's going on each month, and that alone is a huge improvement! Good luck on this next cycle!
Thanks @KatBH & @BingALing23! I'm really looking forward to meeting with the RE now, as opposed to waiting until after 3 IUI cycles (as recommended by my OB). Only thing that stinks is that the closes RE & fertility clinic is close to an hour away, so I see lots of driving in my future. One of my co-workers is pregnant with her 2nd IVF baby from that clinic (University of Iowa) - so I'm thankful to have someone at work who understands the time commitment for all of the visits & monitoring. My husband & I work together on the leadership team for the same engineering project at work - so it's especially obvious when we're both absent at the same time for appointments, but carpooling is easy! Pros & cons to everything

Anyone testing Thursday the 21st? I'm so nervous and worried. I took another hpt 10dp3dt this morning and it's negative. I'm afraid it's over for me but still trying to be hopeful till Thursday.
@RiasNot on the 21st, but Friday! I have held out testing and since I'm out of town for work until Thursday evening without DH, I feel like I need to just wait it out. Ugh! The anticipation is making me nutty!
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

Thanks @fivetimesnoluck good luck to you as well! I've been a total wreck this past week. I keep reading stories online of some girls testing negative on hpt's but going on to have low but positive betas. Praying that happens to me. fingers crossed for us all
Good morning! So when I called my doctor yesterday to set up my beta, they told me that I could do it then. So my beta was 34. I will still call it an LLP (little light positive) but the tests are slowly getting darker so hopefully that is a good sign! They have me scheduled for my second, tomorrow the 21st Keeping my fingers crossed and praying for the best!
Had a wonderful dream about getting a BFP and honestly, I feel more even-keeled about it all today. Yesterday I worked myself into a warped headspace. Not bad, just anxious.
Then after waking in such a better mood, I found out I won an Apple Watch at the conference I'm attending. What?!?! I am totally taking it as a sign the my luck this week is GOOD!!
How are are you all doing? I'm having some very vivid dreams, waking up early, and peeing more often. All early signs for me. So I'm very hopeful. That said, a differentiator for me is that once I get the positive, then I just go into "how long will it last?" mode. Trying to stay one day at a time, but it's so damn hard. You're all on my mind as we go into the next few days. Good luck!

I'm back and forth every other day. Some days I'm sure and then next day I'm super doubtful. I think the wait is what is killing me most! Friday can't get here soon enough (either way at this point). I've been really good and haven't POAS yet.

AFM, 12dpo and I got a faint positive. I thought it was negative on 10dpo but it was positive yesterday morning and afternoon and is still positve today. If this keeps up I'll have a beta on Monday.
RE confirmed the BFN. He will call me later today to discuss our plan for next cycle. I am so fucking disappointed. A well-meaning friend just texted me that I am learning patience - HA! I kinda want to punch her, but I'll give her a pass.
Three+ years of this shit, I have learned/acquired/practiced plenty of patience. I just want a healthy pregnancy. That's it. But, I guess for today, I will just have to try and fill the void with a margarita or 5.
Big hugs to the rest of you! Happy Friday!

That just plain sucks @fivetimesnoluck. This whole process definitely triggers the desire to punch people on occasion, so I understand the feeling! Enjoy those margaritas!
@fivetimesnoluck I totally understand, I appreciate the "that sucks comments" more at this point. We are working on 3.5 years of this crap as well. So ready to just have a + and then hh9. Praying/good thoughts for you, what's your next step? Have an extra margarita for me, I do our transfer next week - everything is high right now, nerves, anxiety, fear, etc. I could use a drink!!

AFM, 12dpo and I got a faint positive. I thought it was negative on 10dpo but it was positive yesterday morning and afternoon and is still positve today. If this keeps up I'll have a beta on Monday.
RE confirmed the BFN. He will call me later today to discuss our plan for next cycle. I am so fucking disappointed. A well-meaning friend just texted me that I am learning patience - HA! I kinda want to punch her, but I'll give her a pass.
Three+ years of this shit, I have learned/acquired/practiced plenty of patience. I just want a healthy pregnancy. That's it. But, I guess for today, I will just have to try and fill the void with a margarita or 5.
Big hugs to the rest of you! Happy Friday!

That just plain sucks @fivetimesnoluck. This whole process definitely triggers the desire to punch people on occasion, so I understand the feeling! Enjoy those margaritas!
