Beta in 2 Days and Counting

Hey everyone,

I'm sorry I've been out of touch.  It's been an emotional few days here, with lots of family drama and bad news on the home front. 

The big beta test on Tuesday, and I have to say that I'm more hopeful than ever.  My OHSS symptoms have started returning a bit, and I take that as a very good sign.  The doctor said that would probably happen if I were to become pregnant, so I've been wishing for it so hard that I was afraid at first it might be psycho-somatic.  It has cheered me up so much that I actually feel a little guilty for being so chipper when so much terribleness is happening in my family right now. 

DH and I have been joking about being happier and happier the worse I feel, though honestly the discomfort right now isn't all that terrible. 

I've had more cramping on and off, and though mild it always makes me a little worried and I rush to lay down and put my feet up.  We went grocery shopping, and lifting some of the heavy bags brought on a round of cramps, so I've vowed not to lift anything heavier than the cat till after the beta and a brief talk with a medical professional. 

That's all my news, however I do want to send a shout out to my IVF cycle sisters who are either going into embryo transfer (Me, You, Just us Two) shortly, languishing in the 2WW with myself (Mac & PC, Hope is a Four Letter Word, & Banking On It) and/or celebrating their triumphant BFP (that'd be you Foxy!).

There are so many more of your undergoing IUIs, and FETs, and enduring the long dark of the 2ww, and honestly you are all awesome, amazing IF warriers!  Good luck to everyone.  I'm hoping for lots of April BFPs - including one of my own. :)

    Thanks for the shout out girl!! I'm starting to fear I have OHSS from the cramping and bloating but again could be progesterone, I mean, wouldn't they know prior to retrieval? Oye! Can't wait for your BFp!!

    Isn't it terrible that I'm sitting here and also feeling glad that you're feeling worse, if only because it may be a good sign? I hope the rest of the family issues work themselves out, and in the meanwhile I'll be hoping for good news to come your way on Tuesday.

    I was worried about you! I hope everything works out on the family front! I am so very hopeful that you are going to get your BFP!! I am dying to find out! I can't imagine how you must feel! And the cramping is a good sign! I know it must be scary though. Thinking of you. Hugs!

    Keeping my fingers crossed! Have you peed on another test recently, or are you just going to hold out until your beta? Good luck!!

    Thanks for the shout out Kerri. Its like I remember that our IVF worked every time I see someone else write about it. Seriously the most bizarre feeling, and these emotions are so freaking weird. It seems like everyone else is more excited than we are right now. I just feel so guarded. So thank you for pulling me back to reality, the most wonderful fabulous reality!!! Thank you!
