As most of you know I am CD26 today. Nothing in the world can prepare you for a 2 week wait, I tell you. I don't know how you IVF girls do it? It astounds me. But then again at least you girls know that ovulation and fertilisation have taken place. I worry about ovulation, timing of intercourse, fertilisation and then the implantation. These thoughts can be bloody scary if they swim around in your mind all day. And I am NOT a patient person. I am actually quite impulsive and I just cannot sit around and ignore things until the time has gone by and it actually happens.
I have been experiencing a few symptoms like sore boobies (but I had that last month too), I've had the slight bit of implantation bleeding, I am very very tired lately (but it's also the start of winter and I usually hibernate during the colder months), I was nauseous last night after eating a chocolate log (could be my blood sugar that's too high) etc. I've also dreamt that I am pregnant, but that happens a lot. So all in all, I don't have a conclusion. I have to wait. Have I mentioned to you before how I hate to wait? I hate to wait.
Anyhow, let me talk about something else. We had our Wellness day at work last week Friday, and they did some screenings of our overall health as a means of keeping the staff educated and in touch with their health status. I had the following tests done:
HIV: Negative (Sjoe! Sigh of relief, for a moment I was a bit scared!! BTW this was done with a smart check test which works like a HPT but with blood. Never in my life have I been so glad to see only one line)
Blood glucose: 8.0 (Okay-ish)
Blood Pressure: 130/80 (Normal)
Blood group: AB+ (Positive is good - rules out the Rhesus factor in pregnancy)
Cholesterol: 3.4 (very low!)
BMI: Slightly Overweight (Damn!!)
So, it seems that I am healthy. Hopefully healthy enough to carry my own baby to term. And if this is our BFP, all smoking will be brought to a very definite halt. I have stopped very successfully before, so this time, if I am pregnant, I will stop immediately and never touch it again. DH has also promised me that he will stop, and it seems like he is very serious, so now we just wait for the BFP.
Best of luck to you. (In both a happy result and in the waiting :))

Holding thumbs, crossing fingers and hoping you get your BFP.
ReplyDeleteThe 2 week wait is a pain in the rear end, it does not go fast enough, your mind churns and it is just plain nasty! I swear it was the worst 2 weeks ever, every month!!! I am also known to have zero patience! If I want something, I want it NOW!
Well done on the health test, you sounds good and fit and ready! Yay!
So glad your tests have come back so good. If you've done the low GI thing your cholesterol will be a little on the low side.
ReplyDeleteI've said a little prayer every night for this baby. Try not to obsess, (I know, I know, easier said than done, Miss keep your pee sticks handy Nikki), I truly believe that God will grant you a baby, sooner than you think.

Good luck! I really hope that this will be the two lines you have so long waited for!
ReplyDeleteI am also praying for you! Holding thumbs! I took the 2ww very hard with my IVF's, in fact I only ever lasted 7 days post ET before testing! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou're a trooper, I always POAS from about 9 DPO (non stop).
ReplyDeleteI am praying so hard for you, my friend!
