7dp3dt

A quick update so I can use the snappy title. I can't do a whole IVF cycle and not have at least one title like the above!

I'm halfway through the second week now. The first week was ok really. I was off work and took it easy doing little tasks, watching daytime TV and relaxing. Perfect to be honest. I was so glad to be off work. I was also quite tearful at times which took me by surprise. I know that I have been overly emotional (well, for me) when I was pregnant in the past so I thought this was a good sign, if somewhat embarrassing (not that anyone saw me, just embarrassed myself thankfully!) it seems to have settled down now though.

This last few days I am much less settled, and also less hopeful. I have had no implantation bleeding and last night I felt as though my period was starting. I even dreamt it had started overnight, and woke up in a state. It isn't here, but it feels like it's on its way :-(

'Outcome day', as they call it, is Saturday. It's not a beta just a urine test. If I get that far I'm going to test before then myself. I was thinking Friday, but I'll probably crumble by Thursday (10dp3dt.) It should be clear by then. I peed on a OPK this morning, just because it was there. It was lily white! Hmmmm. I've never tested + before 13dpo before so it still could just be too early. I'm not sure if it's the fear of knowing, or the lack of symptoms, but right now I'm pretty sure this isn't the cycle for us. Still hoping though, it is a magical time of the year after all!


I hope the 2WW is racing by for all my cycle sisters too. There is a whole bunch of us, Becks, Chicklet , M, Amy, Tracey, Geohde and Makingpeace and it has been so great to be travelling with such great company, it makes this whole journey that little bit less frightening. All the very best girls!

I've been so tearful and I'm only 2dp 3dt....nightmare. I think its the lack of control.

I so hope you get some good news at the end of the week, I have a good feeling about this. Please let us know if you test early.

as the end of the cycle nears.. I always find that my fears start taking over .. I hate that. I would love to have a flood of positives so I am hoping that good news awaits on Sat.

Thank god I'm not the only one crying all the time! I want this to work soooo badly, to be THAT story, but I'm so afraid to even hope for it, and then I'm afraid not to cuz I want to send Tiny E good vibes. Keep sending your embryos lots of good thoughts and good vibes, and good luck with testing (or not testing). :-)

Natalie said...

PS. I meant to say you're dead right with having people to cycle with - it's been a really nice treat to have that exact same timing support. A rare treat!

Geohde said...

Your at about the same point as I am, but I can't even poas for fun because the Pregnyl would screw it up!

Hoping that you see two lines soon,

Geohde said...

Urgh, You're not Your. I need more coffee....

Makingpeace said...

I was looking for an update from you and am happy to read it! Keep thinking positive - I know it's so easy to read into anything and everything...I haven't had any symptoms other than weird twinges in my abdomen and a potentially higher cervix...gross that I think I can tell that. Anyway, I like your "it's a magical time of the year" comment. Here's hoping that magic touches all of us cycling! :)

Erin said...

I've been thinking about you!! I hope it really IS a magical time for you!

Mama Bear said...

Hang in there for the rest of the week! (I know how hard it is.) And, more than I HOPE this is *it* for you!

thinking of you!

Von said...

Way too early to get a positive result just yet.
Have been wondering how you are getting on. You're nearly there. I remember feeling exactly the same as you at this stage. I have high hopes, if that helps at all.

YAY! My BT is Friday but I have withdrawn from the race early. Can't wait to read about your fantastic results ;-)

Portia P said...

Thanks for your kind words on my site.

I've every hope for your success in this cycle! Hang on in there. Fingers crossed for you.

Waiting Amy said...

Oh I get the teary-ness! I'm hoping its the PIO, but I don't remember it being so bad last time.

I'm so hoping for you! Keep hoping, only a little ways to go!

BTW -- OPK will only test for LH, not hCG. Did you mean to type HPT? If you really used an OPK the lily white means nothing regarding your success! Most sources say it takes 12-14 days for trigger shot to be gone, but most people find its gone by 9-10 days. Hope that helps!

M said...

I hope at least SOME of us if not all of us can bring home the good news - I certainly don't expect it to be me however, I'm only in the first week but by next week no doubt I'll be a wreck!

Katie said...

I've been a mess of tears since the suppression cycle - so I am jealous of your restraint! Hoping for a positive for you VERY soon!
