Baby Dust to everyone!!!!

Thanks for the info MistyandCarla. This board has been a great resource for me to see others going through the same thing.
I called my re and let them know that my blood draw showed I was pregnant and they told me to recheck it today to make sure it triples.
Did you have to have blood drawn every few days when you first found out you were pregnant? Not quite sure that I believe that this could have worked on the first try.
hoping: I am hanging in there!!!
I am really in a weird place though. Part of me thinks I am having pregnancy symptoms, part of me thinks its in my head. LOL! Make up my mind, right?
I really had no idea how much can go through my head in a week (today is day 7), now we have one more week to go...
hey, anyone...what do the "B" and the "F" stand for in BFP/BFN? I think I have caught up on the rest of the ttc lingo, finally. :)

Good luck to everyone!
Don't get discouraged yet...I had a BFN on 11 dpiui and then got a BFP on 12 dpiui. So, it can all change overnight!
Good luck and KUP!
I will tell you though that target makes a generic which i also picked up and and i think the blue line showed up much better than the pink.
Hey vic kup on how everything is going.
Extra prayers heading out to all.
Hoping--my RE said I'd go in for a blood test on Sunday and, if positive, again a few days later to ensure the HCG levels are increasing appropriately. I think I read somewhere that the HCG amounts double every two days in early pregnancy.
thanks for the tip on the twoweekwait.com...it gives me hope, since I have some of the early pregnancy signs.
the wait goes on...I am trying to hold out until at least day 10 to test, the doc prefers for me to wait until day 12, at the very earliest. we'll see how i hold out. :)
Jesselynn, like you said on another post, I am convinced I'm pregnant, but it's hard not knowing for sure!
hopingntrying: aren't you due for a blood test today???? what'd they say? :)
all's quiet here...still resisting the urge to test! my wife keeps telling me that she thinks i am pregnant and is even talking to my abdomen (talking to the "sticky bean") everyday. lol. cute. :)
caliseastar--hang in there it is still too early to say. I'll keep my fingers crossed---sending prayers your way.
jesselynn hang in there almost entering the second week.
hopingntrying- OMG CONGRATS!!!!!! I am soooo happy for you!!!!! It is so awesome to see it working for others it gives me such hope for a bfp!!!!! Enjoy it sweetie!!!!!!!
Yes! CONGRATULATIONS! That's fantastic news! Great BETA number too!
Please KUP!
i broke down and tested today...day 10...BFN but i am not surprised. just getting impatient! LOL!
Vic I know how you feel, the wait is really the worst part. I'm on day 8. I have a funny tummy, slight cramps, but I'm hesitant in even calling them that. I'm eating like crazy and I've already peed 8 times today!!
I just cant wait to find out!
vic75-i had slight cramping since the 1st day 5/22 and it is still here up to today. I mostly blamed everything on the progesterone suppositories. I sounds good for you. I think that i'm still in shock that it actually worked for me and on the 1st try.
jesselynn-I think that I got my BFP on day 10 but I ovulated very early on day 11 that probably is the only reason my worked so quickly. I have very short cycles. I recommend the target brand of hpt because the color is blue and showed up much better than the extremely faint pink line of the first response. Also check out peeonastick.com.
alivin-hang in there girl! I was crawling out of my skin going into the 2nd week. S/S sound hopeful. Does your cramping feel as though af is coming?
Day 9 here. Cramping is def not AF. I usually only get AF cramps on my 2nd day. AF is not due until the 11th or 13th. My tummy feels just a little upset and crampy but it could be due to all of the crap I have been eating!! I have been peeing alot but Im not sure what that means or if it means anything. I started checking my temp but I have no idea what I'm looking for or what it means!! This morning it was 97.7. I also have a hard time sleeping for atleast 3-4 hours uninterrupted to test. I read that that is how long you should be sleeping in order to get an accurate temp. Either i wake up to pee, the dogs wake me up, or because I'm such a light sleeper I wake up!
I go in for HCG test on Wednesday morning and will have the results back in a few hours. We decided to not do a HPT due to the possibility of false positive or false negative due to trigger shot. Nurse said to just wait because blood test will confirm it either way.
The waiting is ridiculous, the 1st few days I really though I was pregnant, then the rest of the 1st week up until day 6 or 7 I thought that I wasn't and began to except it. Now I totally feel and believe that I am pregnant. This is just crazy. I want this so bad and I'm so scared to get my hopes up. It's just so soon, even if you really know your own body. You question everything and I wonder did all of these things happen every month to me, but because I didnt obsessive;y pay attention to them, did i not notice them. WHo knows then I think, I know my body and know that I'm pregnant!!!!
Ladies this is crazy!! How is everyone else handling it?? All I do is eat all day long and then literally an hour or 2 later I'm hungry!!!
Ugghhh

i think I'm gonna break down and test!! I cant stand it anymore. I know the results may or may not confirm it, but I feel like i have to!! I just sent the wife to Target to buy there brand and First Response. i want this so bad and really feel it!!!
The wait is sometimes the worst part!
How's everyone else doing? It's quiet on here and Facebook. I'm obsessive and on here like 100 times a day!!

I'm excited for you, hopingntrying!
Good luck vic and alivin! I'm sending lots of good thoughts your way.
We'll try again in another two weeks. :) Thanks for all the kind thoughts and words, everyone!
I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers that this next try is it!
alivin- dont feel bad about testing, i broke down and tested yesterday and again today which is only day 11.(both BFNs)i'll probably just keep testing until i get that BFP!!! :-)
vic- i have been going crazy since my day one, so i think its pretty normal. its nice to know we're all in it together.
i will keep everyone in my thoughts and prayers!
Alivin & Jess-I tested everyday from 10dpiui on through 15.
at least there are coupons in the first response for a dollar off:) I tested 1st thing in the am when hcg is supposed to be higher.
Vic congrats on making it through the 1st week.
Baby dust to one and all.
So I tested this morning and I got 2 BFN. I'm so depressed and I know that I shouldn't be, because it's only 10dpiui.
We go in on Wednesday for HCG Bloodtest. I'm just really feeling low right now. I want this so bad....
