Today I'm 8dp5dt. Beta is tomorrow. Right now I don't have a good feeling about it. I don't have really any symptoms excepty slightly sore boobs and really they're not all that sore. So either my gutt is telling me something or I just have IF brain and have trained myself to expect a BFN.
A family Christmas party on the 21st. Either I'll be pregnant and we'll share the news or I'll not be pregnant and I'll be drinking heavily.
TTC since August 2011, Me = 40, DH = 38
Unexplained IF. Tried Clomid for 3 cycles. All BFNs. BFP 1/6/13. Chemical pregnancy.
Moving on to IVF#1. ER 11/26/13, 16 eggs retreived, 12 mature and all fertilized. 2 blasts transferred on 12/1. All other embies arrested so nothing left to freeze. Beta 12/10 = BFN. IVF #2 March 2014. BFP!!! TEAM BLUE!!!
@SCSSmith2011, no symptoms isn't a bad thing! That's partially why I tested before my beta, my boobs had just stopped hurting and it seemed weird to me. Keeping my fingers crossed for good news for you tomorrow!

I've been getting BFP's since 4dp5dt and the line has been getting darker! Small victories. Today I am 6dp5dt and my fingers are crossed for a good beta on Thursday!
QOTD: no plans before the holiday unfortunately!
QOTD: DH's work Christmas party is Saturday so we are planning on going to that as long as we get good news Fri...I'm soooooooo nervous! As far as Christmas goes, I'm on call at the hospital so it'll just be DH and me since we don't have any family here.

Matthew&Mary MMSchu 07.21.12
Not much new: I had my last U/S last week after having some spotting and was able to see the flickering heartbeat of 1 little bean. My next U/S is scheduled for December 19th. I am still spotting on and off, but have tried to not think much about it. I still do not have any symptoms and am trying not to read too much into that either. If all goes well next week, I will graduate to a regular OB. Today I am 7 weeks, 3 days.
QOTD: The baby shower that I have been planning for my baby sister will finally be here this Saturday. I am both excited and ready to get it over with. Staying home for Christmas and otherwise do not have much going for the rest of the year!
Married 11 years. PCOS; TTC since 2009; 3 unsuccessful IUIs;
