Waiting for the signs… waiting for the symptoms… waiting, waiting.
I had spent weeks doing so many things to “be healthy.” I drank crazy shakes that tasted YUCK. I changed my eating habits eating so VERY healthy. LOTS OF VEGGIES!!! I cut out almost all meat, almost no sugar at all, no more caffeine, virtually no junk food at all. And yet since I started my 2ww, especially in the last few days, I have kinda blown it! I had the a big steak, & first hamburger (w/ cheese, bacon & mushrooms) I’ve had in almost 2 months; I have had several pieces of chocolate pie; French fries, mac n cheese, popcorn, bacon & grits, more bread than I have eaten in more weeks than I can count some with butter & once with butter & jelly, 2 IBC root beers (at least they were caffeine free) and I had the first cups of coffee I have had in months… oh and I fell off the practice of eating every few hours. MAN what is wrong with me!?! I have not been sleeping well, but at the same time I have been so very tiered. I have been ‘antsy’ and I am feeling ‘ODD.’ I am so trying not to read the symptoms but the ‘cramping’ well it could have been digestive considering all the bad food I have been eating, but felt like it was in my vaginal area… AAAHHHHHHAAAA!!!
This is only day 7 past trigger, how do I make it the next week! My calendar calls for the BETA on 11/4. That would be 16 days after my trigger, can’t I test sooner?
Oh friends, I am just rambling. I really do appreciate all the support!!! Its keeping me going! Almost half way there!

I am a big believer in the healthy eating but I also think that if you want or are craving something (bacon cheeseburger) that your body might be telling you it needs something - iron, dairy, whatever. So, don't beat yourself up about falling off the wagon a little.
I hate the 2ww. I am already dreading mine and it is weeks away! I know you have a lot wrapped up in this...healthy distraction....any movies on your list? good books? how about a series that you could rent - sex in the city, the wire, mad men - anything!
I am thinking of you tons and sending lots of positive energy your way! Come on BFP!
PS - I'll tell you to stay away from the HPTs but I'll be being a hypocrite...they are the devil, though. Try to resist!

you are too cute. Do not be too hard on yourself. I am praying for a quick week to go by and for you BFP!

The 2ww can be so hard because we spend so much time building up to that point with the meds, appointments, etc. and then we wait and wait and wait... You should be safe to test on 11/2, but could still get a false negative if the baby is a slow starter. I am praying for you!

I have done that myself. I agree with laraM sometimes we crave things we need. and it sounds like you needed comfort food.I too am scheduled for 11/4 beta and don't think I can wait that long.

OMG, it is raining buckets today and all I want to do is curl up on the couch & do NOTHING!!!

Hey, I know a phrase that says " a little of what you fancy does you good." I think you have deffinatly had a little indulgence but it's time to get back on that band wggon, your bean needs it's nutrition! lol. Easier said than done after all these months of being good. But hopefully that was all just a lead up to the next 9 months of priemium nutrition. BTW I give you my full aproval for curling up on the couch and doing nothing if thats at all possible.

Jcurly
You are far from NUTSO! ;-)

Don't beat yourself up Julie - I think it's okay to "blow" your diet - your pretty strict these days with what you eat/drink so I'm sure in the grand scheme of things all is okay. Take it easy. I know it's a stressful time. I hope the 2WW speeds up for you soon! x

Hang in there, my beta is also 11/4. This is my 2nd attempt with IVF. I read your profile and we have alot in common. This is day 4 for me and I don't know if it is the progesterone shots but I have been having nausea and some mild cramps. Come on BFP!!

Hey there! What a gorgeous picture first of all, second of all don't worry about what you ate. It is in the past. Make better choices today! : ) I am so excited for you and just know you will get your BFP! You and Sun above me. Both of you ladies will have great news! I am bad. I did for fist IVF and will I am sure this time use a HPT. Keep smiling and think happy thoughts. Sticky babies!

Sounds like some potentially good signs for a BFP. From what you aid you ate youa re craving carbs. Which can be an early sign. You are tired which can also be a sign. So good luck it sounds promising. As far as testing I have always been bad about it to. I am trying really hard thismonth to behave nad not test. When I got my one BFP I tested on day 12 of the 2WW and just barely got a second line so I wouldn't test any earlier than that. Good Luck. XO :)
