2WW Check-in 12/8

Happy Saturday, everyone.  One day closer to POAS and betas for everyone!

Nothing much to report on my end.  DD woke up at her usual 5:45ish time, but kept falling back asleep until 7.  She was rolling from back to front and back again for sleeping positions, which was a first that I had seen, so that was fun to watch while waiting on her to fully awake.  So, fed her and got her ready for a walk in the park with my parents (they live .5 miles away, and the park is less than a mile away).  While she was gone, I did an amazing amount of housework (cleaned kitchen, unloaded dishwasher, wet vac'ed two rugs, and mopped our large front porch).

No big plans for today.  Gonna go grab lunch later, and maybe do some more stuff around the house, and try to get some R&R at some point.

QOTD: When do you plan on starting to POAS?

I'm shameless, and I think even though tomorrow is 4dp5dt, which is when I started last time, and I didn't get my first positive until 5dp5dt, I'm going to start that early again.  So, one more day until the torture begins.  I just hope I get a positive between tomorrow and beta on Wed., otherwise I'll be a wreck!

Re: 2WW Check-in 12/8

  • I have found a new time suck.  Clash of clans.  I have never played on of those games before.  I am sure I will get sick of it, but right now its helping pass the time.

    I've been working on the 2IF update this morning (almost done) and playing with my DS until he head butted me in the nose!  OUCH!   We are headed out to lunch with my uncle in a bit then home for nap time for little man.  DH is plays guitar in several local bands and has been playing every Friday/Sat night in Nov and Dec so I will be around this evening.  Hopefully, I will find another good holiday chick flick to watch on Netflix!  

    I am still debating about POASing tomorrow or not.  I guess it depends if I can do it before DH wakes up.  I am also going to be a WRECK if this is a BFN, even though I am trying to prepare myself.  I have been thinking that if we could somehow find the money I think I would have a better response b/c they would know how I react the meds better.  OH PLEASE! I don't want to go through that again.

  • Still sitting here on bedrest...luckily around noon will be my 48 hours and I can get up and shower!  My son has a basketball game this afternoon and I have 2 photoshoots and my inlaws are in town.  So once I'm able to finally get off the couch I have plenty to keep me busy through tomorrow afternoon. 

    I can't wait to POAS, although I can't decide when.  Maybe I'll let you and Jeanna do it and when one of you get your BFP I will do it the next day since I'm a day behind you two.  I really want to do it on Tuesday (5dpt), but DH says I should at least wait until Wednesday.  Easier said than done!  Ugh...I'm so anxious!   Who am I kidding...if DH didn't think I was nuts then I would start POAS tomorrow!  I am REALLY not a patient person and this has to be the worst 2ww of my life. 

    TTC #3 (#1 for DH) since September 2011. DX: Unexplained infertility with possible cervical factor. May 2012 did clomid with IUI - BFN August 2012 IUI #2 w/ follistim/letrozole - BFN September 2012 IUI #3 w/ follistim/letrozole - BFN October 2012 IUI #4 w/ follistim/letrozole - BFN November/December 2012 IVF/ICSI #1 Retrieved 12 eggs, 8 fertilized. Transferred 1 beautiful embryo and 5 made it to freeze. Got my BFP! January 2013 u/s showed empty gestational sac. FET cycle April 2013.  Transferred 2 5 day embryos.  BFP!!!!!  2 heartbeats!!!!  EDD:  12/27/13
  • Ok, now you've both got me thinking maybe I should wait until Monday to test, since that will be 5dp5dt (10dpo), which was when I got my first +HPT.  With my luck, even that will be too early, even if I am pregnant.  I'll do whatever jeanna decides to do about tomorrow.  I had been feeling pretty impatient before, but I currently feel ok waiting one more day.

    My bigger problem is that I am trying not to stress out if what happened last time doesn't happen again.  Last time, at 3 days after transfer, I got really nauseous and it was the only time I threw up.  My RE said it was that first surge of HCG after implantation.  So, I'm sitting here waiting on that again as my sign.  I just try to remember that every time is different and not to freak out if it doesn't happen again.

    I'm gonna go get my lazy butt dressed, and take DD and my dad to visit my grandmother, and then we're off to lunch.

    Kimber, congrats on making it through bedrest, I know it's harder than it sounds.  Glad you have plenty to keep you busy today!

  • Hi All!

    I'm so happy its the weekend!  I'm more distracted and the days seem to pass quicker.  This is our slow time of the year at work, so I have a lot of free time to daydream.

    I POAS again this morning, BFN.  I think the ones yesterday was either the last of my trigger or just an error.  Both of those tests were dollar store tests.... so I think I might use a FRER tomorrow morning.  I'll be 9dp2dt.  Praying I see that second line.  I was 11DPO when I got my first ever BFP with my daughter.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend!!

    Ugh!  I am sorry about today's BFN....I was looking for an opposite post from you today!  :(  I was 11DPO when I got my BFP's the last 2...can't remember the twins...it was so long ago.  Tho I could look it up on fertility friend....  

    All I have for POAS is the wondfo ones from online, they have always been very sensitive.

    So sorry yesterday was a sneaky trick, how disappointing!  FX that tomorrow is your lucky day again!

    I'll be using internet cheapies to start and save the FRERs for confirmation.  I really want to wait until Monday, but earlier today DH started asking when I could start testing.  He's much more patient than I am, but it made me consider starting tomorrow, even though I just know it will be negative.  Ugh, I wish I didn't care so much.  How the heck do people wait until beta?  I can't imagine doing that.

    Ok, I admit I am a POAS'aholic usually.  DH is probably not coming home tonight. He is playing a music gig 2 hours away and they are paying for a hotel room for the band so....me alone in my bathroom with 20 pee sticks....but on the slight chance he is home I can't have him hear me test!  LOL!  I will, of course, update in the morning!

    I know what you mean.  My husband bet me that I wouldn't be able to make it to beta without POAS.  So, that's why I haven't told him that I've POAS for the past two days.  hehehehhe.  If I do get a BFP, I will tell him then.  He would probably be too excited to remember the bet. Smile

  • Ok, I have to admit 3 things.  

    1) I am having mild cramping on and off.  Hating not knowing what is going on in there implantation and growing OR AF on her way.

    2) I feel like I pulled a muscle in my stomach and it reminds me way to much of being PG. This mind F is not cool.

    3) DH is def not coming home and I will prob POAS in the morning, knowing it is too early.  Preparing myself to just think its too early in the morning.

  • Hi my girls,
    We went into the NYC yesterday to see the tree. It was so crowded. I was holding DD hand while we walked through time square and her face was priceless.

    I'm and feeling weird muscle cramps, and sometimes a sort of sharp jab. But when I had DD it 100 felt like AF was coming.

    POAS??? Maybe Tuesday? 5dp5dt. I never really tested my trigger out.

  • Duh! I almost forgot, the lab called yesterday and they were able to freeze two more eggs! Giving us a total of four. Question, just bc the others were slower to grow, doesn't mean they are poor quality?

    My lab said in order to freeze they must be in superb quality, so I assume yours is the same. Congrats on freezing 4!
