I think this has been the longest 2ww ever. I don't know if it is because I have been here so many times before or the fact that we did so much differently and I have such expectations. Either way, it has been a LONG 2 weeks.
I just couldn't bring myself to POAS. I know myself well enough to know that if it were negative I would be devestated but somehow I still manage to hold on to some hope - late implantation, faulty test, whatever...I think it makes waiting for the beta even worse. I didn't want to ruin the weekend so I decided to just wait until tomorrow.
I have moments where I think AF is going to show up but the cramps aren't consistent (which they usually are). I have had no bleeding (with the exception of a little bit last week). I am not sleeping well (anxiety) and yesterday I felt very sensitive to smells (???). So, who the heck knows...it always could be the meds :)
I still have hope (although, it comes and goes...)!
On another note, please keep Ashley and her DH in your thoughts and prayers. This IF is completely unfair and cruel.
Thank you all for the support. I hope to be posting great news tomorrow :)
Love,
Lara

How can only 6 days have passed?
I might not make it.
Really.
Can I test yet? We put in 2 - 5 day blasts. Six days later...I should be 11 days pregnant.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I am really tired. I slept 10 hours Friday night. I never do that. I have a sour stomach often...that is new. My boobs are KILLING me. I have some twinges down there every now and then. I realize all of this could be the meds. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Can I test yet? :)
Is it the 24th yet?
Sigh.
Love you all,
Lara

There are no nice words about the 2ww. I tried to sleep thru as much of mine as I could. Hang in there....

I am in the 2ww now, too. It is hard. I go in on Wednesday for my Beta. That will be 14 days past transfer. That is a long time. But I think it is what it is, right? We can't change the outcome now so enjoy this time. Enjoy the hope of what is happening to your body. Worry about the disappointment IF it happens not before. I have taken a very Zen aproach to this round of IVF (which is not like me at all) and it has really helped a lot. I am sending tons of baby dust your way. Hang in there!

Hey 2ww buddy. It will be here soon enough. I have no symptoms at all. My boobs do not hurt at all. You could start testing. You did not do a trigger shot right? Just don't get all in a tizzy if you do not see a +++ it is still so early. I hope this is it for all of us. Keep me posted and sticky-gooey-lasting baby dust for all of us.

Not to encourage you, but I got my first hint of a BFP 5 dp 5 dt... Not like you have any HCG in your system to give you a false positive. I am so excited for you -- I have SO much HOPE!

There really are no words to help ease the agony . . . the 2ww is pure agony . . . torture . . . any way you try to get through it. But get through it you will . . . somehow. And it will all be well worth it!!! It's so hard to stay positive and not over-analyze . . . hang in there!! I am keeping it all crossed for you . . . hope you are joining me in Pukeville VERY soon!!! (I much preferred my days in Farmville, but alas . . . it seems Pukeville takes up all my energy these days!!) :)

Everything went perfectly today! I had acupuncture before the transfer. Two blasts thawed perfectly. I went to acupuncture after the transfer. I am home, had a great lunch and am horizontal for the next few days :)
Chilly and Will are settling in...I am off to eat some pineapple to help them implant!
Thank you all for your love and support!

I am soooo excited for you! I just know this is it! :)) I'm sorry I haven't been on here more to support you and cheer you on. I'm down and out (2 weeks now) with bronchitis, sinus infection, and ear infection. Poor DH has been really sick too. I'm trying hard to catch up on everyone's posts but get so tired so easily.
You hang in there- and stay horizontal. That's what I did for a good 2 days after my transfer. I think it really does make a difference.
Baby dust to you! xo

I am thinking of a song, "One Boy, One Girl" by Tim McGraw. I always thought I would sing it when I got pregnant with twins (and I will) but I will share with you my wonderful friend! And I assume that "Will" is a boy and since girls are usually cold, "Chilly" can be the girl. ;-) (and if you meant Chilly and Willy well we all know what boy body part Willy is the nickname for so that is still the boy).
Anyways, "One Boy, One Girl, two heart beating wildly, to put it mildly it was love at first site!"
Yeppers, that is your new theme song! :-)

I am so optimistic for you! Tomorrow will be the longest day yet, until they call you with positive results, then you will want every second to last.
suzannelin
I have such a good feeling for you! I know how long this wait must seem...you are so close to the end...or should I say the "next chapter" when you get your BFP! I am thinking TONS of good thoughts for you. (BTW...stay away from the HPTs...they are evil!!!) Can't wait for your results tomorrow!!!!!!
Jenn17
I am thinking and praying for you hon! I know how hard the waiting can be, its even worse than the shots and all that! I am sending good vibes your way and crossing my fingers for good news tomorrow!! xoxo
bcgradgirl
THIS IS IT!! I can't believe you didn't POAS, good for you. I'm sending all my good vibes, thoughts and the kitchen sink your way!!
klimawife
I CAN'T wait to see your results tomorrow. Remember to think +positive+.
JenB007
Lara - I'm exciting for you & your test. I have a good feeling for you too - all those changes have got to count for something........ oxoxoxoxox
Z1977
You have more will power than I do. I hope and pray with everything in me that this is it for you. I, too, am so sad for Ashley. It is so not fair!
albgray
Thanks for thinking of me even during your stressful time. I think your symptoms sound good and reassuring. Hoping for great news for you!!
AshleyPenelope
Your symptoms sound great. When I got my BFP this time the only symptom I had was cramping on and off for a few days before my BFP and mild headaches. So excited for you tomorrow!!!
kspepgirl
I'm SO impressed with your patience and self-control!! Hoping for lots of positive news tomorrow ++++++++++++++ {{{{hugs}}}}
Debbieb
Good luck tomorrow. Can't wait to hear about your BFP!!
confirmation
I understand completely about not POAS....I have SO been there! But this is is going to be very different for you...I just know it!! Love and trust sister...love and trust!!
SueCQ
Good luck tomorrow Lara! I am pulling for you!
Shanny2007
I will be praying for you when I go to sleep tonight and will be thinking of you when I wake up in the morning. I know what you mean about the POAS. Either way it won't change the outcome so it may be best to wait for the most accurate result. I am so proud of you too! All positive thoughts my friend for that positive beta! BELIEVE!
Ashley and DH are in my prayers always. IF is cruel and unfair. There is no replacement for a biological child and no way around the pain and grief we go through having IF. I am just glad we all have each other. You are a great friend!
Lioness816
You are in my prayers! I pray you get "positive" news! :) I'll be looking for your post to share the results. We are all pulling for you and praying THIS IS IT!!! -Jennifer
BethlehemBaby
my fingers are crossed for you!!!!
