I know I said I would wait until Sunday, but I couldn't take it anymore. I went to the market at 8am to get groceries and I decided to buy a test for tomorrow to save another trip to the store. Anyway, I called Jenn. S. on my cell phone...(she's an IVF grad) and she kept telling me to test. I was very emotional and I kept saying...what if it's not...I have a baby shower today.

Well on my way home I decided I would wait until tomorrow. I didn't want to make DH angry. We did agreed to test on Sunday. Then about 1 mile before my house I thought I was going to barf in the car. We live in the hills and it gets a little curvey before our house. So I got a little suspicious.

DH has tennis this morning and he was bothered I got home 10 minutes late. So he left slamming the door...nice. I couldn't stop crying...so I got even more suspicious. DD kept saying, "What's wrong mommy?" So I decided to stop torturing myself and go upstairs and test. I brought DD with me.

I bought a FRED and it changed right away. I didn't even have to wait 3 minutes. So I paged cranky DH and he was very happy.

I've called the small group who knows we are ttc#2 and that's it. I'm going to do my best to keep it a secret throughout the first trimester. This is the first milestone and I know we have several more to get through. Lot's of prayers!

My symptoms are different than they were with DD. I've been getting uterine cramping for 3 days now. Also, I've had vertigo for about a half hour after lunch everyday. With DD I had a very veiny chest and sore boobs...which I don't have this time.

Thanks so much for your support. My beta is on Monday. I'm just praying for a healthy pg and a healthy child!

Babydust!

My beta is also scheduled on Monday 7/25....but I caved
and it was bfn.....this is my 1st cycle with Cooper...
I was in full blown menopause, Dr Check was able
with the assist of medication to lower my fsh in order
to "o".....
They think I did when E2 dropped and Lh went up...
so I am at end of my 2ww....

This is my 2nd attempt...first pg ended in mc last Nov...
I am glad you got yr bfp on fred.....

Dr Check has me taking prog supp 2xday and Estrace at night.
So I have cramping and dizzy spells virtually everyday...but
I think it is from the meds not pg (although I would love to give
my dh a nice annv gift).....

I look fwd to reading yr beta on Monday..
I will post mine either way...

Blessings yr way!
