Hi Ladies -
No nausea today, just some deep cramping and lots of lower back aches - just like AF. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif I have this sick feeling she is about to come visit me.

I'm so sad right now, I truly thought that this would be our month because everything pointed to it. I can't help but struggle with those horrible questions, "Will we ever be parents? Am I doomed to be momma-less?" Its so annoying. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/mad.gif

I'm not feeling sorry for myself, I'm just angry and hurt and confused and I need to vent.

Thanks for listening - I'm sure I'll pull out of this. Maybe she'll come early enough for me to squeeze in another IUI before our vacation in June.

Momma, Try to keep your spirits up. Don't give up yet you may still be pregnant. I know how you are feeling though because I have the same exact thing right now. Yesterday and today I have had the worst cramps I've ever had. I am so afraid that my IUI didn't work. I am also angry and mad. But mostly frustrated because after ten years you would think I would get pregnant.
I am trying really hard to keep my spirits up and you should to after all it's not over until the blood test. If you can remember back when JodyC was in her 2ww she was upset because she was having AF symptoms and though her IUI didn't work and then she went for her test and BFP. So you may be giving up to easy. Let's try to keep those spirits high you never know.

I'll be praying for you.

((((hugs))))

OOhh momma. Don't give up. Alot of pg symptoms are like AF. Just wait until you test. Don't torture yourself.K

Hi Kelly- this sux, huh? I really just wish I had a little camera inside to see if things happened or not. You know? All this getting my hopes for who knows what.

And I'm wicked moody. So I know that that is another sign.

But it ain't over till the blood test, right? I'll try to keep my hopes up. You try to.

Thanks for my hug.
((((Kelly))))

Momma**I know just how you're feeling. Remember my thread***NEED SOME SUPPORT**
Sometimes pregnancy cramps feel like AF. I've never been pregnant before, so I didn't know the difference.
Hang in there girl**just a few more days.
You did feel queasy before**and that's good!
Sending Baby Dust your way!

Momma,

I don't know if this will help or not but I had AF like symptoms including cramping off and on from
5 dpiui and the cramps continued to get worse and I was more than sure AF was showing her ugly head anyday. I even took a HPT 12dpiui and it was negative but the day of my Beta I got a BFP and am now almost 10 weeks pregnant with twins. Plus the cramps felt EXACTLY the same as AF. So please don't give up until you know for sure, if you have a little peanut in there they need all the positivity their Mommy can give them. Best of Luck to you.

Amanda

momma,

every woman have different simptoms for AF....don´t give up yet! wait until sunday! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif we are rooting for you!

lots of +++++++++ thoughts going your way! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Minouche

Momma ~

first I want to give you a great big hug! Don't get your self down. I think we often convince ourselves that we are pg or having pg symptoms b/c we want to be so badly. Then we convince ourselves that we aren't before AF comes b/c we don't want to be devastated if it does come. All the feelings you are having are normal and no you aren't feeling sorry for yourself. Infertility is such an unfair hand that we have been dealt in life and we have every right to get angry and disappointed.

Don't give up on being pg until AF arrives ok. You know that if it does come we are all here for you as your own personal support team.

STAY FAR FAR AWAY AF!!!!!
COME ONE BFP ++++++++++++++++++++++++++

There I sent your AF away for you.

More hugs,

Amy

Momma,

Listen to all of these women. When I was preg. with DD I had to wear a mini pad because I was spotting and was sure that AF was on her way. I did a hpt and it was negative so I went out with friends drinking. 2 days later still no Af so I did another test and it was positive. Still had spotting too!! Please don't give up hope yet. I am lighting a candle for you on Sunday. Say your prayer-it might make you feel better!! Hang in there.

Hi Ladies - Boundi-thanks for my hug. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif Sunny - I'm trying to hang in there, but it justs harder to do! I dont' even know anymore if I was really queasy or if I was imagining it. lol
Amanda - your story did encourage me..awwwww, a little peanut. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/love1.gif

Thanks Minouche - I appreciate your feedback lots. I won't give up.

Big Hugs to ALL OF YOU

Amy and Tmer-
Thanks so much for the prayers and the comfort - you all have made me feel so much better.

I think I'm going to settle in tonight with a warm shower, some pork chops I've been marinating all day and a movie. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

I love you all!
http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/heart.gif

Momma, Amanda's story really made me feel better. How about you? I was so sure that I wasn't pregnant that I decided to go ahead and do a HPT. And sure enough BFN----. But now with Amanda's story I feel like I may be wrong. My cramps have been from about 3dpIUI and have gotten worse as time goes on and it is only 10dpIUI today and she had a BFN on 12dpIUI so maybe I was getting upset for nothing. Already cried my eyes out on DH and we have already discussed what to do if it doesn't work. We are trying to decide if we should wait a month or go ahead this cycle with another Inj/IUI. But now I am not sure to be happy or sad. Momma, I hope you are feeling better the stories the ladies have posted made me feel better and I hope that they did you to. Lots of prayers and ((((hugs)))) your way.

Kelly

Momma, Don`t give up my dear ,the pregnancy signs looks like AF, I know that these few days are the longer days you have passed through but You have to wait honey and be positive , I hope you to see these BF+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Momma don't give up girl! Think positive http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/round.gif I am praying for you and a BF++. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/angel.gif http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/heart.gif

Lisa ~ I've never been pregnant so I don't know what it feels like, and don't feel like I can offer any words of wisdom, but you are doing everything in your control and you can't beat yourself up. You've gotta keep the faith. Every painful step of the way. Look at all the women who have succeeded! They are my inspiration, and you know what - so are you. You are so supportive of everyone and you offer such warm encouragement in all your messages. Sunday isn't here yet so until you know otherwise BELIEVE that it's true. Because for all you know it just might be http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/love1.gif

keep the faith Momma...

We are rooting for u!!
You inspire us all with your kind words to everyone when we all need support. You are always there!!!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gifhang in there!!
Hugs! Anne

Momma,

I too had a period while pg w/ my dd. It was the wierdest thing b/c I thought for sure I was having a m/c or that I had gotten a false positive. When I took the hpt I had only gotten a really faint line and then about 3 wks later AF showed up. I was devastated (I had had a m/c 4 mos. earlier). Anyway the doc told me that a lot of people have AF during the beginning of pg. My point is that I don't think we can trust our bodies for an exact answer http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Keep smilin http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif We are all sending you BFP+++++++++++++++++++ vibes and baby dust. Sunday better come quick http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif I can't believe you haven't snuck an early test - I am so horrible about that.

Amy

Momma, here is a big ((((((HUG)))))))) dont give up until AF shows her ugly face. I am praying for you. Dont worry everything will be ok. I have heard that AF and PG symptons are almost the same. Hurting yourself will not be good for the baby if you are PG. Take nice care of yourself until you test. I hope things come positive for you this month.

Here I am sending you loads and tonnes of baby dust.
Jeena

Hang in there, it's not over till it's over and a LOT of pregnancy symptoms are like AF - just as the others have said. My first symptoms were PMS symptoms and they were the same as they are on a BAD month, so this could be a good thing. Let's hope!

Sunday is your test day and that's not too far away. I really hope that you have a BFP!!!! Is it also possible that Sunday might not show the BFP yet, even if you are?

Don't you even start with that momma-less! You WILL be a momma! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Hang in there momma......I know it is easier said than done....I too know what it's like to get all worked up for every little twinge in your body...... It's not over......keep your chin up.....and don't worry...you WILL live up to your user name "Momma" !!!!!!

Lots of prayers will be said for you today!!

Kelly-way to soon to test girl! You're gonna have a pleasant surprise on Tuesday when they call back with your BFP!

SMSM - I won't give up, I'm gonna try to be positive so I can see that positive on Sunday!

MaryAnn - http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif I won't give up. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/heart.gif

Holleigh-you're such a sweetheart, I'm so happy I can be an inspiration - all of you are to me and I'm so grateful to have the support that I found in this board, its only fair to return that favor.

Beth-I'm gonna keep that faith, thanks again for my post the other day. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Old Flo - I'm hangin' in there! I'm not gonna give up!

Anne-thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers, I'm rooting for you too! How are you feeling? You keeping busy during your 2WW?

Amy- Thanks for your support, sweetheart! The only reason I haven't snuck in a test yet is because I told DH I wouldn't. But he's in NC and I'm here! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wink.gif I might sneak one in the morning of so I don't have to hear from someone else what the results are.

Jeena -thanks for my hug, its appreciated. I have been taking care of myself so don't you worry!

Pumpkin - I'm hoping all of these things are good things - I'm praying for some more nausea today. I'll be all set Sunday because they are doing a blood test.

Snoop -thanks for your prayers..I'm keeping my chin up.

What a wonderful Friday morning it has been thus far. To come to this board and to just get overloaded with support and comfort - its just amazing. You ladies are my inspiration and my rock through all of my rides on this roller coaster. I love you all so much for caring enough about little ole' me to take the time to make me feel so much better. I'm a very lucky woman.
http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/love1.gif

hey now............. you are stronger than this.... don't do it to yourself......... Sunday isn't here !!!

Don't give up -- keep you chin up and know that we are all thinking about you !!!! You can do it !!! get ready for your yard sale and take your mind off of it --- just don't be doing alot of lifting.... I know it's hard but you have too stay strong.... see you sunday !!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

No, you can't give up now. You have come SOOO far. Please, you are one of my inspirations on this page.

Hey Momma,
I am so sorry you are feeling so stressed. I have snuck a test (or two or three...) when my DH has been out of town, but I have always regretted testing. Spend your time here so that you can hold out longer! If you have to sneak a peak, I totally understand. I have no patience waiting. I hope you are feeling better today. I think Sunny started a trend of BFPs++++++++. I am waiting with you and praying as well!!
Thanks for all you do for all of us!
Becca

Hi Shanel, Mrs NC and Becca! I'm feeling better today - not going to worry myself over it. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif Because I know this can happen for me! I will be blessed! YAY! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/dance.gif

Thanks so much for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. Time for me to say my prayer to the Blessed Virgin!

Lisa and Kelly,

Do NOT GIVE UP! What these ladies say is true, AF and PG for me were identical, I even went out drinking the night before I tested, and took Motrin for my cramps! But, talk about being totally anal, I just took a pg test since I haven't been to the doctor in three weeks! It came back positive, of course, but I really was nervous. Enough about me, you ladies hang in there, I can't WAIT to see more BFP's like Sunny's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

Momma, I totally hear you with the worrying,,,,,I am going crazy! I will be praying for you girl you deserve it http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif Lots of love and hugs.

Thanks Jody and Jordansmom - but my cramping is just getting more intense. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif I think I may be able to save a trip to the lab Sunday morning. I'm really trying to think this is okay because everyone is telling me that AF mirrors pg symptons, but my cramps just get stronger!!! WTF

I'm not feeling too good right now. As much as I'm trying to stay positive, I just keep thinking this isn't it. And then I'm wondering, well maybe I'll be able to squeeze in another IUI before our June vacation if the witch comes when she is supposed to do.

I'm praying for you Jordansmom! You deserve this BFP so much more! Going through IVF - zowie.
