How are you doing? I'm at 11 dpo and have lower back pain and AF like cramps and hot flashes too. I haven't tested yet, I'm too scared.

I am so sorry to hear about your grandpa. I'll keep him in my prayers! I am only 7dpo and agonizing over the wait!! I am trying to stay positive but If this cycle is a bust I think we are going to go for the IVF procedure. I am just tired of going through this month after month and my RE said that IVF has a much greater success rate. I sure hope your lower back pain and other symptoms are signs of pregnancy!! Let me know when you decide to test. Wishing you lots of baby dust!!

Thanks, Heather. Well, I got a call this morning from Grandma, and found out my grandpa passed away last night at 1:30am. I'm glad he's not suffering anymore, but he will be missed. We'll be going up to MN tomorrow afternoon, and coming back on Sunday. I figured I would take a hpt test tomorrow morning and see what happens. I'll let you know what it is before we leave. Only 7 more days to go for you! Hang in there! I'll pray for you :-) Lots of baby dust to you!

Well, I just took my test, and got a bfn. My AF hasn't shown up yet, and I just "feel" pregnant. I don't know how to explain it, but you would think that 14 dpo would be early enough to tell, especially with a First Response test. I have back pain, stretchy, sticky CM, a little bit of red blotches on my legs, I'm tired a LOT more than usual, my nips have been sore on and off, I've had crazy dreams (including one about kittens and another about giving birth to a baby boy and knowing there was a baby girl inside of me) and I've had major hot flashes. I guess all that could be from the progesterone suppositories, but I've never had all these symptoms before when I used them. Oh well, I'll wait until Sat, when AF is due, and if I don't get it, I'll test again. Anyway, I've been awake since 12:44am MST, it's now 5:03am (I held my bladder for 4 hours to take the test, and took it at 4:44am). Not sure if that was enough time or not, but I guess we'll wait and see. It's been a tough 2 weeks! I'm getting ready to go to MN, so I will talk to you all on Sunday or Monday when I get back into town. I'll let you know what happens! I hope everything goes well with you! Hang in there!

I am so very sorry to hear about your grandpa. I just lost my grandmother to colon cancer not long ago, so I know what you mean about being sad they are gone but grateful they aren't suffering anymore. I hope you are doing okay with having so much going on. Regarding your bfn....maybe you just implanted late and that is why it hasn't shown up yet?? Sounds like you have all the "right" symptoms. If your AF doesn't show in a couple of days, you should retest. Stay in touch either way. Good luck! I am sending lots of baby dust your way!!

Hi, well AF reared her ugly head yesterday :-( We have to skip this month cause I'm in MN, but it's God's way of telling me to take a break I think. I'm at Grandma's house, and so far, things are going okay. The funeral will be on Saturday, so we're getting things prepared and ready. How are you doing? How many more days before you test? I'm praying for a BFP for you! Good luck and baby dust!

 

celestia1977 - September 30

Well, the funeral went well, considering. I'll be up in MN until Monday night. Doing well so far, visiting with relatives I haven't seen in forever! Take care and talk to you on Tuesday!

No luck for me either this cycle! AF showed up yesterday. I was pretty down yesterday but now that I have an appointment with the RE on Thursday to discuss IVF, I am getting a tiny bit excited. I am praying for this to be my miracle! It will be about a six week process. I am sooo nervous! How is your grandma? I hope you are having a good time visiting with your relatives. Hope to hear from you soon. Take care!!

Hi! I'm back in CO now, working away. I'm worried about my grandma cause she doesn't take care of herself. She puts everyone else's needs in front of her own. These next few weeks are going to be hard for her because everyone is gone now, and she's alone again. All five of her kids have agreed to call her every week, one kid takes 1-2 days each, so that she feels loved and wanted. We'll see what happens. How are you doing? I'm sorry to hear that AF showed up. I'm actually glad it did this cycle cause I'm under so much other stress that being pregnant would have been a burden. That sounds awful, but I guess God knows what's best for me. Well, better get back to work! Take care.

Let me know how your appt goes tomorrow! Hope it works out for you :-)

 

celestia1977 - October 5

Well, I just found out my DH got laid off. We've been expecting it for a little while though. Guess we'll see what happens!

 

HeatherP - October 9

Hi Celestia! Sorry to hear about your DH. You've had so much to deal with lately. I hope you are taking good care of yourself in the meantime. Where are you at in your cycle now? My appt. went well. I go in tomorrow for some preliminary tests and a "mock transfer". I guess they want to make sure everything goes smoothly or to see where they need to make adjustments before they accept you in the IVF Program. I am so nervous!!! I'll let you know how tomorrow goes. Hope you are doing okay! Talk to you soon and sending lots of baby dust your way!

 

celestia1977 - October 9

Hi! Good luck with your tests today! Definitely let me know how it goes! I'm just plugging along, waiting for things to happen. We're talking about skipping the rest of the year since DH has no job, but we'll see what happens. Next year might be good anyway, since I'm out of sick time and vacation time for this year. take care!

 

HeatherP - October 11

Tests all came out normal which is good. VERY painful though! Thought I was going to lose it at one point. My cervix is just so darn sensitive. They said they will have to give me Valium for the real embryo transfer next month but that sounds good to me!! hehe! Now I am just waiting to start my meds on the 21st. So will you still be ttc this year or have you decided to take the rest of the year off? Either way, I wish you lots of luck and baby dust! Who knows..."they" always say when you stop trying, that's when you'll end up getting pregnant out of nowhere! Kind of like the saying, "A watched pot never boils." Here's hoping we both get what we want!!! ( :
