DH and I are going with "cautiously optimistic"

DH and I had a good talk last night after we had time to process everything. We decided we're going to just think positive thoughts and be cautiously optimistic. Things may not look super right now, but we both feel like this could actually work out so we're hanging on to that feeling. My acupucturist said the best thing to do is "think pregnant thoughts" and talk to the embroys so we're doing that as well.  Thank you again for all your support - it means so much to me! DH said he "got chills" when I told him how aweome you all were to me ;)

    that is exactly what I decided to do! my husband was more pessimistic, but I just said to him "I've got embryo(s) in there that need my support, and I'm going to keep sending them positive vibes until further notice". I kept reminding myself that worrying would not change the outcome, so it didn't help to obsess over it. Just tried to stay zen until my next beta. I soooo hope yours keeps going up!!!

    That is a wonderful attitude!  Thank you for posting this.  I need a little encouragement to stay positive during my 2ww instead of  thinking about how our IUI probably didn't work. Good luck to you!

    Love the attitude!!!! We are doing the same thing at our house.  I am 3dpo so Brad keeps talking to my belly saying "its ok, go ahead and implant this month."  I hope they are listening in there!!!!

    When my betas started out low with this pg...DH and I were cautiously optimistic too. We both had a good feeling about this pg. I would rub my belly every night and tell the little baby to stay in my belly (as crazy as it sounds) and to please keep growing. Every beta kept increasing nicely and when we got to our 1st u/s and saw the gest sac, yolk sac and fetal pole we got more optimistic. Then we had about 11 days to wait for the next u/s to hopefully see the heartbeat. I would rub my belly every night saying please have a heartbeat little baby, and how much we wanted the baby. In the end, I started losing hope, but DH never lost hope and was telling me how everything would be fine. He was right! When we got to the u/s to look for the heartbeat, there it was! Our baby had a heartbeat!!!

    So, even though it sounds crazy to talk to your baby and rub your belly this early on, do it!! Miracles really do happen.

    Best of luck to you!!!
