Let's go ladies. This is the place you can talk about all the craziness that comes with the dreaded two week wait. Phantom symptoms, implantation dips and possible spotting, what you are doing to make the time fly by, and much much more. Post as often or as little as you want. We are here for you. Chart stalks available upon request or if there is a link, we may look just to pass the time or out of curiosity. Gifs are also welcome!
GTKY: do have any little "mantras" you say to yourself when things aren't going your way to help pick up your spirits or focus on the positive?
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
I suspect today will be my last day here, since I"m at CD9 and AF usually starts on CD10. No symptoms, temps are lower than normal. Here's hoping next month goes better.
During really rough times I focus on "It is what it is." That's my way of telling myself to stop wasting energy over things I can't change. It doesn't always make me feel better, but it usually helps me direct my focus to the things I can change, which in turn makes me feel better.

I'm still here at 14DPO but on my way out as well. BFNs all weekend and this morning so I'm just waiting for AF to show up soon. I'm supposed to get betas in 2 hours but I think I may not go. I hate to pay for blood work when I already know the answer. I'm really struggling right now, worse than usual.
My mantra is pretty much the same as fishchicks. It reminds me that I can't control everything and I should focus on things that I can change rather than obsess on things I cannot. I'm finding I have to tell myself that a lot lately, both personally and professionally.

I think I go here, but since I'm not temping and my CF was different than usual I'm not completely sure. I'm guessing I'm 1DPO though. Since the two u/s last week showed nothing on my "good" side I don't have much hope for this cycle anyway. At this point I'm just willing the next 2 weeks to go by quickly.
GTKY: I really don't. I try not to dwell on the negatives and focus on the positives, but that's hard some days. I just try my best to focus on the good things in life.
Hugs sleepymonkey . This process is so hard. I'm thinking of you!

I'm still here. I wish I could give you a real hug sleepymonkey. I'm CD 18 so AF should be here this weekend, if no AF by Monday I will test. No symptoms but that is normal for me.
I always think of the serenity prayer when I'm feeling down.
