I am so sorry about your chem preg. It happened to me last time and it is the worst pain in the world. I feel for you, sweetie.....
Just remember that every day will get better. That's what got me through it.
big hugs,

Jenna ~ I love that you stalk us =) You're right about the u/s, I just hate waiting...as well all do I'm sure. GL at your follie check today, can't wait to hear how it's going!
Jess ~ How ya feelin? Hope the cold is letting up!
Kate (K-1) ~ I sure hope that after the first u/s I can have a little more faith in the pregnancy. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying it now but still having a hard time believing it's real. I've had some bad dreams about just seeing empty sacs at the u/s when we're suppose the see heartbeats. So at that 8w u/s I'm sure I'll be very nervous but I hope after seeing the h/b I'll relax. It's so strange how you chase the BFP and think all the worry will be gone then...not so much! I'm sure your beta tomorrow will be wonderful...the nurses are always over cautious. KUP =)
Lori ~ Ahhh, the gym was wonderful =) I don't have any stamina left at all since I haven't been for 5 weeks. But my muscles are thankful to be put back to work. Let me know how it goes for you! Happy your DH found his excitement =)
Mona ~ I bet you are chomping at the bit for your beta tomorrow!!! Can't wait to see your nice strong beta =) Thanks for updating the chare, we did pretty darn good as a group!
AFM ~ Getting excited to go off my meds in a couple days! This weekend is going to be a busy one. Friday my DH and I are going to dinner and a CHL hockey game with friends. Saturday I have a baby shower to go to. Sunday my DH is going to a football game with my Dad and I'm going to see a girlfriend that is lending me some maternity clothes. What are everyone else's plans?
DH - Mike (31) & Me - Caryn (34) TTC#1 since Jan 07, married Mar 06 After almost 3 years of TTC, LAP surgery, 3 IUIs and 1 IVF 9/25 beta @ 13 DPO 107, 9/28 beta @ 16 DPO 298, ultrasound 10/23
Thank you all for your well wishes. I am feeling a little better today (emotionally). It was a rough day yesterday- I had not one, but TWO bombshells dropped on me about two girls I know that are BOTH pregnant with their second children. It was sooo hard to hear it.....but I got my tears out yesterday and am trying to "be strong" today. Physical symptoms all still pretty much the same except I am thirsty today and have a pain in low back. Again, not sure if RPS or PMS symptoms. This time I really have no idea (last time I had inkling it didn't work the day before) and I will find out tomorrow afternoon/evening if I am pg. (having RE leave a message on my VM and will listen with DH tomm night). I am preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. I have acupuncture today, so hopefully, that will relax me.
Mona- GL to you, tomorrow, too. Kate- good luck on third Beta. Karen- I think your second beta is today or tomorrow- so good luck to you too.
AFM, I will take any positive thoughts and prayers I can get! You ladies have been a LIFESAVER!
best to you all,

Thank you for your wishes. Sending you all the P&PT's I've got for your beta tomorrow! I totally second that this board has been a LIFESAVER, thanks all!
Just want to share that thirst has always been my RPS, in my first and now! I'm so thirsty all the time and wake up in the middle of the night thirsty... I hope it means something!
TTC #2 - IVF #2: Stims started on 9/14! ER 9/25, ET 9/28, Beta 10/9
Kate (Hoodclass) and Amber (mnchica) - Thank you so much for your cheers and GL!
Caryn - How are you going off of your meds tomorrow? Don't you need to take the PIO till 10 or 12 wks? and vivelle till about 8 wks?
AFM, tested today and still a faint line and can't wait to tomorrow! It's my BFF's birthday tomorrow night! She's having a ladies night out, it will start with Suchi for dinner and then going to a club! I haven't shared anything with her yet about this cycle, wanted to wait a little to make sure it's going to work out. I don't think I can get out of it and not go, and if I go and my beta comes back positive (hopefully, pls), I don't know what excuse to give for not wanting to eat sushi or have a drink... ugh!
