In 2ww also. My story is almost as bad as OP.
TTC 4 years
4 IUI's- all negative
IVF #1 and #2 (at SG) BFN (5dt and 3dt with 2 eggs both)
IVF #3 (at CFA) 5dt = BFP, m/c @ 10 wks, trisomy 16 (july-sept 09)
FET #1 BFP, natural m/c at 5-6wks (dec 09)
IVF #4 transfer 3 day 5 embryos on Jan. 29, beta next week

I'm 31 soon, good responder, everything IF unknown, have 6 totcicles waiting. This is the last IVF with some insurance coverage. UGH. I'll probably POAS this weekend.

Ugh...it totally freaks me out to hear the stories of women who are under 35 like me with unexplained IF where multiple cycles of IVF are just not working! I'm 32 with male factor (I seem to be OK) and about to embark on my first cycle of IVF and I'm freaking out that it just won't work...ever. Some people, even the young and healthy ones just don't respond to this procedure. I'm so worried that I will be one of them!

This is Amy (OP)...I plan to POAS this weekend too...I'll share my results...going nuts with the waiting. Wishing you the very best...keeping my fingers crossed.

PP: IVF first round, works for tons of people...keep your hopes up!

Do any of you chart? I'm the 2nd poster. 5 days til expected period (and POAS day) ad today my temp is at the coverline. I know this CAN be a sign of low progesterone, and because of my previous m/c, it's hard not to worry.

I am a week late now but just can't bear to poas and get another negative! I am waiting one more week and if I can hold out.

Amy (OP) here...tomorrow is the day...I will POAS...sick with worry. I know I will live through it...but the thought of the disappointment again is wretched. Had a dream last night that I got my full on period...which is concerning...b/c I had a dream a while back that I was going to have a day 5 transfer--and that one came true.

Let's hope this one doesn't. Keep you posted.

2nd poster here ... Good luck to you, Amy. I had some very slight spotting yesterday and now a little more today. I'm afraid it's my period, coming earlier than I expected it. I don't really have tender breasts or any of my other PMS signs (besides moodiness), but I just have the feeling this is my period and not implantation bleeding.

19:17 here. I'm getting a little impatient too. My symptoms have been all over the place, and it's such an emotional roller coaster. Mind you I'm on endometrium 3x's daily, but one day I have cramps, the next day my boobs don't hurt, the next day they do, I would swear my stomach hurts today and I was feeling nausea.....but all this could be in my head. I think I'll POAS on Sunday. Beta is supposed to be Monday, but I'm thinking not with all this snow. I have 4 hpt's. Ugh.....

Amy (OP) here...so I woke up at 5:45 this morning like a mental patient...POAS and got a light positive...totally don't know what to think. The egg retrieval was 16 days ago...so I was totally hoping to see an immediate, dark line if I was truly pregnant...now I'm just worried it's another chemical. I only have those cheap pregnancy strips (that cost about 89 cents a piece and you buy in bulk.)...with my previous chemical pregnancies I had the $5/$10 "real tests"...

...So, I'm not devestated, b/c I know there's a chance...but I'm not confident enough to say anything to anyone either...I did get my beta moved up to Monday...I'm thinking by then my car will be dug out! I guess I'll just test again tomorrow??? Had another "negative" dream last night...this time I was at the airport and was checking my departure time and instead of "on time", it just said, "not pregnant". What the hell?

Any thoughts?

To PP, I know what you mean about fluctuating symptoms...it's enough to make you nutty. I've been having the same thing. One day feel totally crampy, next day boobs hurt, next day my back hurts, next day nothing...I wonder if 90% of it is in my head. My mom keeps reminding me that the vast majority of folks who get pregnant really don't have symptoms until 5-6 weeks. It's just that the batty girls who have been TTC or are involved in ART are so hypersensitive to every little thing that is going on with our bodies...Hang in there everyone.

KMFX that light positive will turn dark positive for you! Think positive thoughts!

[Anonymous]

hey, it's better than a flat out negative! here's hoping it gets darker!

[Anonymous]

NP here. Best wishes fror you all. I hate this anxiety. Being cooped up with the snow makes it worse!

I'm 5 days into what may be a very light period. But I'm not sure b/c with DC #1 I thought I had my period for about 6 days. It typically stars light for 2 days, then gets very heavy. That first time it never got heavy. This time it hasn't gotten heavy. But it hasn't completely stopped spotting either.

Ugh. I hate this limbo.

thoughts to all you ladies:

me: ttc for two years. still going at it naturally BUT on our way to getting a bit more help. I am young 27, regular periods and ovulation (or from bbt it seems they are happening and regular) so I can relate to the torture of all of this, although I haven't started the ART process yet.

crossing my fingers for OP...and everyone else : )

i'm just starting my tww... not looking forward to the insanity... but again, i always seem to make it through.

19:17 here! Got a BFP this morning. Clear and dark, WHOHOO! I'm 9dp5dt. I was shaking so much that I could hardly hold the stick under my pee! I am elated...4th IVF. Please Lord make it stick and grow.
