hopeful dc,
I'm predicting that you are pregnant.  I had a/f symptoms and I'm pg w/ twins.  I did have implantation bleeding the day before my pg test.  My boobs and back were sore a couple days before my test.  But other than that I didn't really have any other symptoms.

I'm wishing you the best of luck!  Keep us posted

Baby4us,  Placenta previa more often than not corrects itself by the 3rd trimester as far as I can tell from my research.  It's scary stuff since they talk of hemorraging and other serious problems but for now, I am just trying not to worry about it too much.  I feel that if it's still an issue at my 12/21 u/s appt then I'll just follow the doctor's orders and all will be ok.  The beauty of all the technology is that stuff like that is found early and monitored.  I've read that if it lasts I may end up on bedrest or even hospital bedrest.  I've also read that a C-section must be performed which is what I'm having anyway since both my daughters broke my tailbone on the way out and with twins my OB says it's safer for them.  So, I'll take it as it comes.  Yes, I'm nervous but again, I'll do anything I'm instructed to do and I just know this was all meant to be after all I've been through so I truly believe all will be ok in the end.  Karen

one more day! how do you feel? I am lightheaded and a little sick in the stomach (no cramps) it may just be my nerves.  how its worked for me the past 2 times i got af (my period) the day before i was supposed to take the preg test. 
19 years ago when i was preg with my daughter from my 1st marriage i did several preg tests and they all read neg  (till i finally had a blood test) the doc said I was preg when I did all those how preg tests. so i'm not sure if i would trust those tests but i will do one anyway tomorrow.. good luck hope its GREAT NEWS.

Wow...thanks ladies for all of the info.  I still have not had any significant symptoms.  My stomach is a bit nervous, but i think that it because of the metformin that i take 3 times a day.  They can do a real number on yah!  I had tolerated it for sometime now, but since I have not been able to take my prilosec for my reflux, I have had serious acid indigestion, reflux and very nervous stomach.  If I don't eat enough I feel nauseous.  I would like to hope that this is related to a BFP, but I can't say it with certainty.  The metformin gives you similar symptoms as far as the GI issues are concerned.  Well...tickingclock, if you don't hear from me again today, good luck!!  My heart keeps pounding as time goes by.  I am having tons of anxiety.  I think that I will probably have a heart attack either way tomorrow just from the waiting....I will keep you all in my prayers.

hopeful dc and tickingclock,
keep your mind occupied, the more things you do, the less you will think about the phone call.  The time will fly by.  I know it's easier said then done but it works.  Good luck!

Dear Cindy,

Thanks for the advice.  I don't think that anything will be able to occupy my mind today.  I had my blood draw at 6:50am and I won't hear anything until between 11am and 2pm.  My heart is pounding.  I feel lightheaded.  This is all soo overwhelming.  If this does not turn out favorably, I may need to leave work early.  I am praying for the best.  I hope that I will make it until the phone call.  Good luck tickingclock...I will definitely update you guys as soon as I get the results.

Dear Gina,

I am sorry for the disappointing news.  Are you doing IVF or IUI?  I know that this process is extremely challenging and  you can feel like you want to throw in the towel...try to relax a bit and if you feel its best, rebuild the strength for another try.  You've got us to back you up!!  Again, I am sorry for the disappointing news.

Congrats Hopeful DC,
Now just relax and take it easy.  The high numbers could mean twins.  I forgot to ask for my numbers, I was so excited about hearing the news, I totally forgot to ask.

Tickingclock, I'm sorry to hear that it was negative but maybe you should get a blood test to be sure.

I want to thank everyone for the happy words you have all given me.  I had my second blood draw on saturday.  My number are Day 12 post transfer-667, Day 14 post transfer 1207.  I had another draw this morning and should have those results this afternoon.  I hope that these are good numbers and that we see a heartbeat when they do the u/s next week.

Tickingclock, i hope you are okay.  my thoughts and prayers are with you for a happy future and a baby.

Hopeful Dc

Congrats that is terrific news!!!!I am so happy for you.

Sorry my post is so late.. As I said our home computer has been down, my husband just picked it up from getting repaired.  What day is your sonogram?  Maybe you have more than one bundle of joy in there. 
We were going to give all this a break after this last failed IUI attempt but decided to torture myself one last time.. My doc has me on injectibles this cycle, tomorrow I will have a sonogram to see how many and the size of my follicles.  My guess is he will do the IUI one day next week if all goes well.  I'd like to join you in your pregnancy journey so keep your fingers crossed for me.

Ps
karen, Snidy, and  Baby4us

Thanks for the kind words & support it helps during these failed cycles-and gives me strength to try again..

Gina

Tickingclock,
Just remember that this could be a long journey.  You will have your ups and downs.  Some things take longer than others. 

When I did insemination, I thought for sure it would take, but on the day I was suppose to go in for the pg test, I got my A/F.  First time in my life my period came on time.  I was so disappointed and thought for sure this was the end for me. 

I gave up, I wasn't even going to think about fertility crap again.  A year later my fertility nurse called and asked if I wanted to do a IVF study for women who suffer Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, I wasn't going to do it at first but my husband said don't give up, you never know, this could work.  So we saved up some money and went through with it. 

The first try was succesful but I lost the babies very early in the pregnacy.  I took 3 months off because I was heartbroken and I wasn't even looking forward to the 2nd IVF, I thought why get my hopes up when I know that it won't work.  My mind and heart was not into it, but I thought I could do it one more time and if it doesn't work then I will adopt or live my life without kids.

Well, today I'm 10 weeks pg and going strong so far!  I would of never thought in a million years this would happen to me, so my message to you and to the others is don't give up!  Not everyone will get pg on their first try.  Don't beat yourself up over failed IUI or IVF, it's sad and hard to deal with, but you have to think positive.

I wish you the best of luck on your journey,

Cindy
