Welcome Wali and HURRAH for being PUPO! Good luck for 4th May. I know it's early days but.... feeling anything yet?

Hi ladies!

Great to c more of us in this post. How is everyone feeling?

Except for extremely sore boobs from my progesterone cream and a slight headache today I feel totally normal. I just wish I had some sign my little blastocyst has implanted. On the day of ET I felt like I just wanted to lay on my back with my legs in the air for 2 weeks! Haha. I'm a little more relaxed now thank god.

Hi wali and welcome.
Weeannabub I usually try not to do hpt's but I usually give in around the day that is due. I figure that I can sort of dictate the time I get to deal with the disappointment if it doesn't work. Better than getting af out of nowhere half way through a work day.
Motherwillbe I am the same, constantly searching for the slightest sign that maybe our blasty had taken this time. I am not on anything other than clexane though so at least there are no phantom pregnancy symptoms.

Another day down ladies! Stay strong

[Motherwillbe]

Geez the 2ww is slow! Still 9 sleeps to go.

HAPPY SATURDAY MAGNIFICENT WOMEN!!

Wewannabub I'm feeling all sorts of things but I have no idea what is progesterone and what is my natural hormones?...so confusing. I have mega sore boobs, been really thirsty, crying at the drop of a hat but then a wilderbeast the next and up and down to the toilet all night. Oh, and I have indigestion constantly...but like I said, I don't know what is the prog and what is me?

I'm on progesterone, clexane (*hiss*) and an anti-inflam tablet.

Motherwillbe ...this is the longest 2 weeks of my life! I'm back to work on Monday and I'm glad because I need next week to fly by so I can get to Friday FAST!

This is my first cycle so I'm not sure what I should be feeling... any advice anyone? From what I understand, tomorrow (if the emby has implanted) I should start to produce HCG so I'll be looking out for changes

[Wali]

I found this helpful in understanding what is hopefully happening...

Im also mega thirsty and have been to the toilet at least 2 times a night. It is from the progesterone I believe as are the sore boobs. The confusing thing is preg symptoms are the same.

My friend was 2 and a half months pregnant before she even suspected it so I guess everyone's symptoms are different.

Wali what day transfer did u have?

[Wali]

It is really confusing, and it's hard not to read into it... and it's hard not to WANT to read into it LOL. Just have to sit tight for the BT Friday. I'm not going to do the HPT; if it's not the result I'm hoping for I only want to hear the news once.

My transfer was done on Friday the 20th and it was a 2 day emby ... a 9/10 grade so hopefully the little over-achiever is in there over-achieving as I type .

I said to my mum that I wish I had x-ray vision, or something of the sort, so that I could see what was going on in there!!!

Wali Isn't clexane nasty. Gives me bruises all over my tummy I have found though that if you sort of roll it between your hands a bit and warm it up before doing the injection then it doesn't seem to sting as much.

I was on progesterone for my stim cycles and the phantom pregnancy symptoms sucked. It was so easy to just read into everything.

At the moment I feel........ nothing.........
I wish I felt something, anything that sort of indicated whether AF was about to come or not. The only difference has probably been that usually about a week before AF I am in a revoltingly feral mood (poor DH) but I have been in quite a good mood so far. But that could also be because I am a wee bit excited, even though I am desperately trying not to be.

4 days till AFdue and 6 days till BT. Ticktockticktock......
