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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
