11dp5dt – Beta tomorrow
I have not POAS’d since Monday. I just don’t know what I feel anymore. Sure, I still have symptoms, but with the meds, it’s always hard to tell. One good thing is that my BBT has remained elevated, and with my first IVF cycle, that wasn’t the case (it was a BFN). It will be [...]
5dp5dt – What I’m learning about IM injections
A couple of nights ago, my husband did my progesteron in oil (PIO) shot and it hurt like MAD. Excrutiating. I know that a part of it is psychological, but it was really painful. Now, my butt is pretty sore from all of the shots over the past 3 weeks or so. That part, oddly, [...]
4dp5dt – Symptom list continues…
Today’s list includes the following: Walking into public restrooms is very offensive, smell-wise. Sometimes runny, sometimes stuffy nose. I had a couple of mild dizzy spells in the shower this morning which almost made me fall. I’m still very VERY tired. Sleeping like crazy. My face felt flushed again this morning. My stomach is gassy [...]
3dp5dt – Mostly just tired.
Mind you, I am getting pumped with Progesterone injections nightly, and Delestrogen shots every third day, so some of these “symptoms” are probably related to those medications. I will list my symptoms here nonetheless because it’s fun… I’m super dooper tired. I feel completely zapped of energy and feel like doing nothing but lounging around. [...]
This and that…
Morning Sickness Still no morning sickness. Boy did I feel bad when I posted in a forum that I was wishing I had it. The next post came from a person suffering from morning sickness pretty badly, with every statement ending in an exclamation point. She was of course telling me how lucky I am, [...]
9 days until the heartbeat ultrasound.
No morning sickness today. Hm… were are you? On the other hand, how messed up is it that I *want* morning sickness? Who does that? I can remember 2 months ago during my first cycle while I was stimming when I got not one, but two separate stomach viruses, two weeks apart. I remember thinking [...]
Be careful what you wish for.
Well, I wanted morning sickness – I got morning sickness. This afternoon, I was fixing my husband a sandwich, and I was overcome with nausea. I had been pondering what to make for myself for lunch, and then suddenly, I had to run to the bathroom. A couple of dry heaves later and nothing came [...]
6 weeks, 1 day
I had my ultrasound on Wednesday, and they saw one sac “in a perfect spot”. The appointment went so quickly, that I didn’t get a chance to ask the doctor any questions. It’s not really his fault, because I drew a blank since I was so astonished to see the sac on the ultrasound screen. [...]
Back to work tomorrow
The long weekend was really nice. Being able to relax at home with my husband was so great. I did a *lot* of napping, and so did DH. Wednesday is the big day. I’m really nervous because it’s the 6 week point and we are going to be looking for a gestational sac in the [...]
Symptoms A-Changin’
We are so happy that things are coming along nicely so far. We had a big family gathering yesterday and it was hard to keep this a secret, but we did it. As for symptoms, that dull ache that I was feeling (“down there” is the best way I can describe it) has all but [...]
