Cindy - I have my fingers crossed for you I hope your RE office calls early so you're not stressing all day.

DH told me last night that he took off the afternoon of my beta so we can get the news together. They usually call in the late afternoon; if they call early I just won't answer. Still having cramps, abdomen and low back, but my tummy hurts and I think that's part of why I feel crappy. DH never gets tummy aches but he said his tummy was bad too. I wonder if it's something we ate for dinner?

Does anyone else feel like they have to pee more often? I'm guessing it's all the bloating pushing on my bladder or something but I am definitely peeing more and I remember that happened last cycle too. I'm glad I have y'all to ask these "TMI" questions!

Nuts-C - I hope your DH is feeling much better. Have a great trip and a fun weekend with your family! Only one week until the beta!

Angel - have you heard if you'll have a 3dt or 5dt? If it's 3dt isn't that this weekend?

Heather - how are you holding up?

TNT - are you doing o.k.? Looks like the weather is going to be really nice this weekend. I'll be at a scrapbooking event most of tomorrow and DH will be working in the yard. It's so cool to finally have landscaping in our front yard. You don't, by any chance, have a good lawn service? We dropped ChemLawn because they'd come out for 4 minutes (I timed them on two separate days), treat the yard with something, there's still tons of weeds, and then charge an arm and a leg.

TKeys, Gin, Alee, and anyone I've accidentally left off - I hope you're all doing really well and have a great TGIF!

I am sneaking on during a break in my training.
Cindy71 - I hope the b/w went well this morning. I can't wait to see your post!

JSquare - I am definitely with you on the bathroom issues! It seems I am peeing all the time! The other day I went just before leaving work, as soon as I got home (15 minute drive), like 45 minutes after that and about 90 minutes after that. I figure I lasted 90 minutes because I was napping! No good, but it will be worth it!
That's awesome your DH will be there with you. I have next Friday off so I will be home for the news but DH has to work. He can't take much time off as he has been out so much being sick. We are going out to dinner with his mom and stepdad and sister. It's his mom's birthday. We won't be sharing anything with them regardless so I am hoping the dinner is an okay distraction from whatever we are feeling.

One more week to go!!! And, heathablue is right behind us. I am getting so excited to see results soon!

Anxiously waiting on Cindy - I've got all my fingers and toes crossed for luck!

Renee - you're so sweet! Thanks for the good luck wishes! Best wishes to you in April!!

Angel - Wow Sunday is right around the corner! For the 2ww I'm trying to stay busy, working around the house, chatting on here I'm really positive and excited and happy this cycle and I think that has made the time go by faster. I can't believe I already have one week of the 2ww done. Also what's helped me this time is no one knows. Only my doctors and my in-laws (because they paid for it <thank you>) so I don't feel the pressure to continually update all of my friends and family like I did last time. Much less stress.

I don't POAS but I know Nuts-C is planning to and that works for her so I wish her lots and lots of luck!! Heather and TNT - will you POAS?

I am new here but need all the support I can get. I am the one who posted the what the heck is going on thread. But I am a March girl too. I do my beta next Friday. What do you guys reccomend as far as POAS?? And what is a chemical pregnancy? This waiting is horrible.....
