5dp3dt

Woke to some “pinch” action early this morning – good sign?

Still AF type cramping (tad lighter than first day of cycle cramps… more like Braxton Hicks than anything) and some major fatigue during the day… but insomnia when it’s time for bed.  LOL

My head cold is going away and I’m feeling much better overall.

 

Progesterone check Friday.

POAS…. Saturday – I’ll be 8dp3dt.

 

 

I did cave last night and wanted to test… and even started searching for the pee sticks DH hid (at my request).  I didn’t find them and was glad later.  Don’t want to see a negative and honestly… might not want to see a positive this earlier either.

4dp3dt

Light cramping all morning… AF feeling, but nothing “pinchy”.  I’m exhausted and have a headcold and all I want to do is take a nap.

 

IM and I are planning on POASing Saturday.  I’ll be 7.5dp3dt in the morning and 8dp3dt after 1.  If we’re pregnant, there’s a high probability that we’ll have our positive by then.  If it’s negative, it doesn’t mean anything other than “not yet”.

 

I have NOT taken a pregnancy test yet at all.  I’m very, very proud of myself and am glad to focus on the positive “signs” and not on glaringly white, yet too early to mean anything tests.  ;)

Weeeee

I'm 1dp3dt... 1 day past a 3day transfer.


yesterday's transfer went well.

Had acupuncture an hour before and an hour afterward. (That was lovely!)
We transferred 3 embryos... 2 eight celled grade 3 and 4 and 1 twelve celled grade 3. (4 is best). Doc gave us about a 40% chance of a pregnancy... 5% for twins or triplets.

Am staying positive that this time will work. 13 days until our beta test. I'm going to hold out doing any pregnancy tests... it just takes the focus too much on my positive thinking and focuses it on the negative tests. We'll see though... I'm usually quick to cave. I had my husband hide the tests I have at the house so if I want to POAS, I'll have to go to the store. ;)

On a side note... or REAR note... My ASS is SORE from those shots. Ouchie. Going to get a heating pad when I'm off bedrest.

5, maybe 6 days to go!

Transfer has been bumped just a few days so it's going to be Thursday or Friday! WOOT! I'm hoping for Friday as it would mean less days that I need to take off from work.

We're also going to try some acupuncture with this cycle to help ensure we're doing everything possible. It works for some and not for others, but the research that I've done indicates that it ups the stats 5-8% for implantation (pregnancy) and lowers to % of miscarriage.

This week, I had my lining check and it was at 9mm. That's not bad. They upped my estrogen (loving that stuff, really!) so my lining should be getting plumper and squishier as we "speak".

I'm remaining positive about this cycle.

I'm also vowing not to POAS (pee on a stick) so I'll be waiting for the beta (blood test) to know whether or not it worked. I think staring at the negative tests didn't do much for my positive attitude.

Will update next week =)))

WOOT!

First Lupron shot tonight.

Transfer scheduled for September 21-23.


WOOT!

Yay!

Started birth control a few days ago. Waiting now on our official calendar but it looks like we'll be transferring again towards the end of next month (September). =))

Next cycle

Waiting till next cycle to start back up again. =)
