2 days post transfer (2dpt)
I'm closing in on my second day of resting. Tomorrow brings back all of my responsibilities. Getting kids to school, from school, appointments and therapies. At least most of it is just drivivng, lots and lots of driving. Yesterday I felt very bloated, like my uterus was full of rocks or something. And that sort of made its way up into my stomach somehow. My belly was hard and uncomfortable. I read on a bunch of fertitilty sites that it is common. I slept terribly last night. Tossed and turned most of the time. I think I'm recovering from having to sleep on that terrible mattress at the hotel (it was so hard!). So I was just sore. Maybe I was also having a hard time shutting my brain off. So much to think about!
I woke up this morning at 6am to pee and take one of my medications. I was so incredibly hungry, stomach rumbling and all. Very odd for me since I don't usually enjoy eating in the morning. And I had eaten at about 11 last night. I headed back to bed and tried to sleep it off. I got up at 8 even more hungry but at that time I was a mix of hungry and nauseous. I ate some breakfast but a few times while eating, waves of nausea came over me. Nothing awful but a defenite icky feeling. I just figured it was a mix of medications and hunger, but then I thought I've been on these meds for 2 weeks now with no problems like this. I'm pretty skeptical of symptoms this early so of course I go to my good friend google to see what others thought. Well, lots of people have symptoms right away! Then others say they never had one symptom. Thanks google for that definitive answer. And of course I start reading about a lot these people that were having early symptoms ended up having twins. Oh my.
We transfered 2 embryos hoping that just one would stick. The chances of me having twins is only like 13 percent. Not huge chances, but still there. I'm still hoping for just one baby in there. Singleton pregnancies are just safer for all, and of course easier on the body. BUT, all that said, I'd still be elated for L and Z if it were twins. They have said that it would be a huge blessing if it were twins as well.
About an hour after I ate I was no longer feeling sick. I haven't felt sick again today. Tonight though, I was getting the girls in their jammies and my chest started to ache. I felt around and yep, the ladies are getting sore! That's yet one more new symptom. Again, I'm skeptical but these little things keep popping up. I almost wish I had no symptoms because then I wouldn't get my hopes up. I'm cautiously optomistic about all of this. Of course I'm hoping to be pregnant but I know there is only a 50/50 chance that I will be. I need to be ready for bad news as well. BUT if I had to take a guess, I'd say I am pregnant. I also read of people getting a positive result from a home pregnancy test (HPT) at 4dpt. So we could know sooner than I thought! I will have my first beta test (pregancy levels tested by blood) on the 23rd. So either way, 9 days is when we'll know for sure. I'm testing with a HPT every morning though, just to be sure. That's all for today! Will update if anything new happens :)
