I remember how long those days were between betas and first appointments, etc. It felt like a life time. Hang in there!
Try to schedule something fun for yourself to look forward to tomorrow, it should make things help a little! Mani/Pedi? Walk with friends? Go out to ice cream? shopping? Any little thing!
This is a seriously stupid question, but is it safe to get a pedi? I’m off work this week, which is part of what is making me feel so insane/bored/restless and a pedi would be awesome but I’d just die if I did something to hurt the pregnancy. I’ll definitely do a walk and ice cream tomorrow though, that CEP thread on flavors really did me in.
absolutely fine, I promise.
BUT, if it were to make you feel nervous the whole time, then do not risk it for your sanity! Ice cream is an excellent choice
Go see a matinee by yourself. Eat popcorn and enjoy 2 hours alone, distracted.
Go to a pottery studio with a friend and paint something.
Make a new recipe you have been wanting to try--pasta from scratch? homemade ice cream??
Only one more day. I have everything crossed for you!
man, I'm having trouble with the days of the week, too, because I came over to wish you luck today and it is apparently DEFINITELY not Friday today. Derp. One more day! <3

Every day this week I’m like “it’s friday!” And then it’s not. One more goddamn day. This is testing every ounce of my patience, I’ve never wished so badly to be at work and occupied!
Also still a lurker, but I am so thrilled for you, seeyalater52! I hope the next day goes by quickly and that you get a strong beta increase tomorrow! I know how hard it is to go through so many unsuccessful FETs. I have everything crossed for you!
Thank you all! Had my blood drawn half an hour ago, they usually call between 12 and 3. Ugh I feel like I can’t breathe and my limbs are all tingly.
Go back to bed and take a nice long nap! Then you will kill a few hours at least. Then can you meet a friend for lunch? Go see a movie??
Part of my problem is I have the worst insomnia. I can get to bed fine but I wake up at 5am and can’t get back to sleep. I’m laying in bed now but I’m not sleepy. Everyone is at work (😭) but I’m thinking in an hour or so I’ll walk to the diner for some brunch and then poke around some stores and come home and watch a movie. I am afraid to turn my phone off so I don’t want to go to the theater. #basketcase
I also saw my RE this morning and I started to cry when she asked me how I am. I know she is feeling good about this but I’m so scared to get bad news. It feels like I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I don't go here, but I've been following your story since we were both on the GP board together. I have all the things crossed for you today that you get the BEST NEWS!

This was totally me early in my pregnancy...so if this is new for you, I'd say it's definitely a good sign! If you never went to get a pedicure the other day, go and do that! Do something for you. Thinking all the good thoughts for you and hoping for great numbers!!

That’s encouraging! Typically I am a late sleeper so it’s super off brand for me. I am having on and off nausea (today mostly off) and my breasts are absurdly swollen and tender. I’m less bloated today too, which worries me. But I’m also double dosing on progesterone so I recognize that is a factor. I’m so nervous, clearly!

GIRL SAME. It sucks when you have a history of mc that you'll never just have that carefree happiness other people get. You always have to be cautiously optimistic. But it DOES happen and it does work out for people like us!
