IF Mind Games (Input Needed Please)

Yesterday, I was 7dp5dt and I POAS (FRER) and it was negative.  So I had my mind made up, that my FET wasn't successful and began making peace with it.  Then at 8 pm last night, I started to have mild cramping.  It wasn't AF cramps because they felt totally different.  It continued off and on all night.  This morning, I POAS (Digital...couldn't see lines) and again....those lovely words "Not Pregnant".  My beta is tomorrow.  I'm currently on Estradiol and Crinone 2x a day vaginally, so I don't think AF can show up even if she wants to because I'm still being suppressed by the Estradiol.  Do you think these were AF cramps or could they possibly be VERY late implantation cramps?  Doesn't it sound really late for implantation cramps at 7dp5dt?  Keep in mind, my 1 and only embryo was moved to my new RE from my old.  The embryologist at my new RE's office told me that it's an early blast, but that's it.  I also remember my old RE's office telling me that it was a good embryo, but that it was just a slow grower.  Please give it to me straight....do I still have a chance?  Losing hope by the minute....

Oh and to top it off.  Just saw a FB post that my friend is pregnant with her 2nd.  One more KU person to add to the "Blocked" list.  At this rate, all of my female FB friends will be blocked...haha!

With my BFP IVF cycle I didnt pick up a positive hpt till maybe 10dp5dt. It was later than most and my beta's for my dr is always 14dp5dt so no you are not out of the game yet. QUIT POAS!!! Your driving yourself crazy, just wait till your beta and try to have hope. I know it so damn hard but try because your still in the game. I wish you the very best!!

Well, anything is possible!!!  Also pregnancy can cause cramping too... but in my own situation, I had something similar last IVF in September and it wound up being a BFN. My AF also, however, came through the progesterone that month so who knows.  Blah, IF sure is a mind game, I'll keep my FX for you tomorrow for good news!

You won't know for sure until you get your beta.  Although I know it is easier said than done try to relax.  No more POAS. No matter what the results you won't believe it until you hear from the dr. anyway.  Good luck!

Beta 3 1-4-13 - 53
