Symptoms:
Middle of the night: GIANT headache I actually took 1 tylenol and put a washcloth over my forehead to fall back to sleep. Uterine tugging when getting out of bed. A little nauseated (could have been the headache). Vivid dreams (tho still not sex or baby related like they were when I was pregnant with Victor).
Morning: Nothing yet. Right pulling feelings. Tiny cramps while driving.
Beta #2 blood drawn at 8:50am.
Mid morning: Right side feelings.
Afternoon: Thirst.
Evening: Nothing.
About Us
- Lauree and Mike
- After an 8 year battle with infertility and countless struggles, our family is finally complete. This blog chronicles the journey it took for us to start and build the family we always wanted. Background on the blog (started in 2012, just days before I found out the embryo transfer for our son worked).... I decided to start a blog after realizing I have only been able to make it through my TWW's (two week waits) with the help of Google and with the openness of other women suffering from infertility sharing their own stories and giving others hope. I have time and time again found my exact symptoms on other women's blogs and felt an overwhelming sense of calmness they provided me. I thought it was time to pay it forward and hopefully provide this same thing to other women on their own journeys.

10dp5dt - Symptoms
I haven't POASed since 8dp5dt! I should win a self control award! I am also going to make my brother $5 richer and my uncle $5 poorer. They took a bet about whether or not I'd cave and POAS. Well, as of right now I have a ton of resolve to wait and see what beta #2 is! If it's good (which I am praying for), maybe I'll pee then just to see a dark FRER!
Symptoms:
Middle of the night: Cramps after peeing, vivid dream (about Adam Lambert being my BFF)
Morning: Pulling right side
Noon: Nothing really
Afternoon: Bloated, nauseated (tho my son has a fever so who knows if a bug is going around, I hope my nausea is baby related!) Napped.
Evening: Not really veiny. No blood after tongue scraper.

9dp5dt - Beta #1
I also used a hcg graphing tool on babymed.com to place beta #1:
9dp5dt - HPTs
Symptoms:
Middle of the night: Cramps after getting up to pee.
Morning: Right uterine pulls for about 10 seconds in the car.
Beta #1 blood drawn at 9:00am.
Lunch: Some right side uterine pulls during my walk.
Bedtime: Blood when using tongue scraper
I've also been keeping a secret.........
I had my first beta drawn 35 minutes ago at 9am. It won't be QUITE 9dp5dt for the result as that is 5 hours before my transfer time. So it's not technically 9dp5dt until 2:15 today!
Needless to say, I'm a nervous wreck given my history:
Pregnancy #1: Chemical
Pregnancy #2: Victor!!!
Pregnancy #3: Blighted Ovum
Pregnancy #4: ???????????? Please God let this be baby #2!!!!!
See next post for the beta result!!!!

7dp5dt - Symptoms
Symptoms:
Early morning: Vivid dream (non sex, in fact I cried in my dream - work related). Constipation. Bloat is gone. No veiny boobs. No cramps. Ughhhh. It's going to be a looooooong day if these symptoms don't start up soon. Blood when using the tongue scraper (I pushed pretty hard tho).

Mid morning: Mayyyyyybe a few uterine pulls? Definitely not feeling as much as I did in the previous days.
Afternoon: Nothing
Driving home from work: A few cramps
Walk after work: Side right boob hurt for about 20 seconds.
Evening: Brown spotting, veiny chest (gone by morning)
Overall: Not bloated at all really today like I have been the past days. This makes me worry. My general lack of symptoms today makes me worried. Being alive makes me worry.
