Checking in. 10 days past our 3-day-transfer. Since my last post I have done a lot of flip-flopping. Each hour of the day I am very, very positive and others I imagine moving on to the next step.
One thing I will say is the side effects are getting worse. Which could be good or bad. I know the progesterone 3x a day has side effects and also your body is full of hormones, ovaries are coming down in size etc. I called a nurse today and she said she has calls all the time for cramping. Even a woman just before me was asking about it. Since saturday night I wake up out of a dead sleep with very intense cramps. During the day most of the time I feel nothing or a dull, achy, "my period is coming in a few days" cramps. These ones come on and get super intense and the pain rises, plateaus and stays there for several minutes and eventually dies off to nothing. It lasts 15-20 mins and leaves me on my bathroom floor because the tile is cold and I get extremely temporarily hot/nauseous. Mostly always at night, at rest, not so much during the day.
Everyone is different she says. I am used to having bad cramps but these are intense. I still have a few days till the bloodwork and if they cramps get worrisome or really bad, to go to a clinic or ER because if its not uterus/ovaries- its out of the fertility clinics hands.
TMI- no bleeding, or other symptoms besides exhaustion & sore boobs.
Nothing much else to report. I had a massage, cancelled my acupuncture today. I can't imagine if these cramps come on while I'm laying still, full of needles.
I do bloodwork to test HCG levels and know whether I am pregnant or not and if it's a viable pregnancy and not chemical or at risk for miscarriage on Friday November 21st.
I will not be updating on here friday with results. Sorry to bust any bubbles! lol I love those who follow and keep updated, I appreciate it. Wether it's a yes or no, I want that time to digest this information with Mike in private. Since people know we went through IVF, this is the only time we would have to know ourselves. Most couples don't tell anybody till the end of the 1st trimester.
Until then, here below is how I feel lately. xo
