Try to remember that every pregnancy is different and the way you felt w azeem won't necessarily be the same this time.
So this current pregnancy i didn't cycle for...but man did i think AF was coming. Just majorly crampy. So much so that i was getting excited that AF was on her way so I could call my RE to get my FET schedule.
No experience w positive tests that far out. I never tested until two days before beta (and this time i tested at what i would equate as 3w5d pregnant based on my due date). But you are so not out yet!!
Hugs! You totally aren't out. My beta with J was in the 80s. Working doubling times backwards I probably would have had a squinter on a FRER maybe 2-3 days before my beta.
I'm totally undecided on POAS this time. I was beta or bust with J.
DS born 2011 (@35 weeks gestation on my bday) after 2 years TTC and 3 medicated IUIs
DD born 2014 after 1 year TTC, two MCs and 3 medicated IUIs
Dx anovulatory
Started TTC# 1 5/10
DX: Unexplained IF
Lots of IUI's and 3 IVFs later we have a daughter!

TTC #2 IVF #4 and an FET brought us DD #2 on St. Patrick's Day!
It's so hard. My advice is to step away from the sticks. It's still so so early. I've also always heard that FETs can take a little longer to get a positive. My fingers are crossed for you!
It is still early! My only pregnancy, I got a negative beta at 9dp2dt, a very faint positive FRER at 12dp2dt (in the evening) and a beta of 29 the next morning.
It's really hard not to compare cycles with the one that brought your precious baby but hang in there! I had cramping and spotting this time and had none of that with C. It's not over, friend! Sending big, big hugs!

Just to echo what everyone else has already said, it is wayyy too early. I miscarried during our fresh cycle, but I got a BFP at 4dp5dt during that cycle. On our FET, I was so sure I was out when I got a negative that same day. But, I got a faint BFP on 5dp5dt. I also had a ton of cramping on that cycle. I was positive that something was wrong. But, I have a super active 10 month old that says otherwise!
Cycling sucks. Complain and vent all that you need to! We are here for you! I have everything crossed. Fwiw, I think that the cramping is a good sign!
The 2ww is AWFUL. Seriously - few things worse. I agree that it's really hard to not compare to the past positive cycles. With my last one I was SURE I was out due to low estrogen. I melted down like never before. I mean I literally couldn't function for two days. Low and behold my beta was 345 - which is just insane......wishing you the same kind of luck

Complain away!! I swear I would rather do two more weeks of injections than go through the 2ww. For me it was always the worst part of the whole process. Sending hugs!
