2ww FET symptoms and pee stick comparisons

I didn't mean to scare anyone with the last post. Was trying to capture the anxiety I was feeling as I approached the official beta. Didn't mean to yank anyone's emotional chain. Thank you again for your encouragement and well wishes...I'm successfully staying in the moment so far today. Am just here, super early pregnant, enjoying this moment, hoping for the best; trying not to go to the bad places in my head. 

Life is ironic in so many ways. For instance, now that I have good beta doubling numbers from the lab yesterday and don't need visual reassurance, TODAY the line on my hpt finally looks darker!! Silly pee sticks trying to mess with my mind! (see progression below)

Pee sticks 6dpt (on far right) to 10dpt (on far left)

I warn you, this post is going to be somewhat boring, a documentation of the hpt lines and symptoms up to this point. Feel free to skip...this is just for future reference (or for other poor souls in the 2ww obsessively googling symptoms - look, I've been there!). FWIW,  here are my two week wait "symptoms" this FET...

6dpo (1dp5dt)	nothing, truly nothing
7dpo-9dpt (2dp5dt to 3dp5dt)	nothing. Maybe the slightest uterine twinge. For a moment. But only if really paying attention. And maybe not even then.
9dpo (4dp5dt)	very slight breast swelling, very slight bloating, increased heart rate
10dpo (5dp5dt)	high resting heart rate while trying to fall asleep (~95bpm), thirsty, bloated, mild L-sided pain in abdomen, mild shortness of breath
11dpo (6dp5dt)	spotting and increasing cramping after rushing around medical campus that continues even after lying down and drinking water
12dpo (7dp5dt)	insomnia, increased urinary frequency, bit of nausea using iPhone in taxi in AM?, significant cramping when walking briskly around NYC  (beta HCG comes back at 69.3)
13dpo (8dp5dt)	uterine fullness, severe "period-like" cramping while giving workshop talk, urinary frequency, "off" appetite
14dpo (9dp5dt)	nothing in AM, then as day goes on mild to moderate cramping, fatigue, L-sided pinching, occasional breast tenderness, light-headedness (beta HCG of 155)
15dpo (10dp5dt)	L-sided pinching, uterine fullness, fatigue, breast tenderness when Moxie slams herself lovingly against my chest

Per the Denver clinic's instructions, we will draw another beta hcg tomorrow at same country lab we used yesterday. Then we are headed back to the city where a private nurse is meeting us at our apartment to do IVIG infusion #2 tomorrow afternoon. Ugh. Hopefully no terrible headache this time. And hopefully it helps keep things going. We would do anything and everything to keep this pregnancy going. We are taking nothing for granted.
