Hi Ladies!!!
Well, I have been a "lurker' to this thread since it started. My story... TTC for 12 years. First through IVF this month (technically second but 10 years ago we knew the embies were not transfer quality).
Had my transfer Monday, August 13th 5dpo (blastos - 2 grade A). I have been CRAZY this week with my emotions. I have been cranky, irritable, sad, depressed (thinking "how could it happen for me after all this time?!?!), anxious, excited... Whoa!!! What a circus BUT at least I have been keeping it mostly to myself
My symptoms...
Day of transfer (5dpo or dt): mild cramping-stayed on my back ALL day
6dpo or 1dpt: mild cramping for half the day - went to the pool then the grocery late afternoon (did NOT swim)
7dpo or 2dpt: nothing (thought it was over)
8dpo or 3dpt: still nothing but slightly sore bbs (but they came and went even BEFORE transfer) Dr. called and told me how much ET and PIO to take today and Monday and said "come in WEDNESDAY for your BETA" I said "WEDNESDAY?? My paper says THURSDAY!!!" I thought oh, no one day earlier, even THEY don't think it took!!! (crazy stuff you think in this)
9dpo or 4dpt: STILL nothing but slight sore bbs and a pinch "down there" every now and again
10dpo or 5dpt: (Sat) Thought it was over so I vacuumed in the AM and WHOA!!!! Cramping, cramping, crampinig... thought I ruined it all...
11dpo or 6dpt: (Sun) STILL cramping, cramping, cramping... no blood - stayed on the couch the WHOLE weekend. DARN!!! Thought it was over.
12dpo or 7dpt: NOTHING and I couldn't take it anymore!!! I went to CVS and did it - I bought an early detection test. BFP!!!
OK, I know about the HPTs but I couldn't take it anymore. I still have AF type cramping on and off today but NOW I have white CM (TMI???) coming out. No spotting at all and I thought THAT was a bad sign but maybe not afterall...
SO - I go in officially on Wed the 22nd and at least I have an HPT under my belt (doing the second test in the morning... I know, I know but I still have one in the box and it can't just sit there CAN IT!!??)
Through all of this I have to give glory to God because not only have I been praying for this for 12 years - so have all my friends (DH couldn't care less if we never had another but he's exicted now - nervous too - about twins!!!
So sticky vibes and baby dust to you all in the waiting game... love to you all!!!
