Officially in the Two Week Wait!
Waiting is the Worst!!!
Sunday, February 28
The tww is torture. Every day is dragging on extremely slow, and now the progesterone is kicking my ass. Yesterday was the day in a while that I wasn’t exhausted and didn’t have to take a nap, so I thought maybe it will be easy sailing now that I am not on Gonal-f anymore. WRONG!!!
I am back to being beyond exhausted and lethargic. I only get a few good hours before I start to crash. So, now I’m back to taking naps. It’s making me miserable. To feel that exhausted all the time is draining, and I can’t get anything done.
I’ve also found out very quickly that Crinone gel is the fricking worst! I had to find out online that I need to be cleaning put the gunky build-up often. My lady bits were so itchy, dry, and irritated. I wanted to cry. But, I went in and cleaned it all out with my finger. Within minutes I was feeling so much better. Now I know to clean out the build-up, it does not all come out by itself. This is “normal.” My Doctor also offered to have me come in to clean it out if I ever need it. I just didn’t know it gets this bad. I’ll spare you the details, but if you are curious, google Crinone gel discharge.
SEARCHER BEWARE!!
I’m bloated now, my titties hurt so bad, and I’m so so so tired, but overall I am okay. I am also hungry hungry hungry. I went from no appetite and doing a few pounds during stims to having hunger pangs in my sleep and craving carbs and sweets 😭. I don’t want to gain a bunch of weight, so I’m not really indulging in sweets or overeating. I also started cycling again yesterday. I kept it nice and easy for about 20 mins since I didn’t go anywhere.
I am only three days past transfer (3dp3dt). How is it going this slow?
I’ve decided that I want to test before my beta appointment. I like to be prepared and plan, so having an idea of what to expect on Beta day will help me not lose my cool in the office if things don’t work out. I’ll be able to process my feelings beforehand. I tested at 3 am this morning to see how dark the line is now with my trigger shot and small doses of Ovidrel in my system, and it’s not as dark as I thought. So, in about five days, I should be able to get an idea of how things are going, and then I’ll test again two days after that and hopefully will see a darker line. My husband, for some reason, is not on board with this. Maybe he wants to be surprised on Beta day, so I will not tell him how my at-home tests go, per his wishes.
Eight more days!!
