No period yet! I think I may actually wait until the 10th to declare myself late. Part of me is wondering if maybe the doctor misread the blood test and I didn't actually ovulate. I've been getting a cramp here and there, but thankfully they aren't constant. They get worse when I lay down.

No that is a great sign. I got crampy the first few weeks of pregnancy. Let's keep positive.

How are you possibly resisting the urge to POAS?! You're got some serious willpower!

Best wishes and positive thoughts, I hope this is it for you,

Lol! I honestly haven't been thinking about it much. Every time I get a little cramp I tell myself that I am probably going to start tomorrow, so why waste a test? Helps me keep the crazies away and stay low-stress...

No way, with my first cycle (I did IVF w/ICSI so it's a little different) I had AF type cramps the entire time and was very scared it didn't work but it did - and I had twins! We can read so much into any little symptom, and so many of the symptoms are the same for AF and PG, so it's easy to drive yourself nuts. You probably have the right idea - just relaxing about it and hoping for a surprise.

This time I did a frozen embryo transfer and you better bet your butt I'm taking a home pregnancy test next Saturday! Everyone's different, I guess. I waited last time but just can't do it this time.

Still wishing you the best and sending positive thoughts!

Wow, I don't know if I could handle this for 8 more months!!! I'm not in a terrible amount of pain, but when I do get a cramp, it's so uncomfortable! I can pretty much depend on having some cramps as soon as I lay down. So annoying. At least I still haven't started, so maybe all of this will be worth it?

Oh yeah, I meant to also say- HOW EXCITING, Cheri! Praying for you, and I so hope you have another little one to love soon! Aren't children such a blessing? I always get so excited when I hear another baby is coming- let me know how it goes!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
