3dp5dt...

I'm sure you've all been waiting for a riveting update about the two week wait... well, I'm sorry to disappoint, but there is nearly nothing to tell! For the most part I am feeling totally normal. I have a few symptom/side effects that I am currently blaming on progesterone, but other than that, nothing is new.

I've spent the majority of the days post transfer laying pretty low and relaxing for a good amount of the day. Our clinic prescribed two days of strict bed rest (only getting up to use the bathroom), which ended Thursday morning. Since then I've just been taking it easy and trying to spend some time laying down everyday... can't hurt, right?!?

We have less than a week until our beta, and as anxious as I am to get the news, I am still pretty calm about the whole thing. At this point, I'm fairly set on not testing before my beta. The hubs would prefer that I not, but he said if I feel like I need to, then he at least wants to be around. I think if I DO test, it will be either the morning of my beta or the night before. I really think I'm just going to wait it out though... I think I'm finally figuring out this whole waiting thing. Lord knows I've had enough lessons in waiting :)

Coming out of lurking to say that I'm really rooting for you! I think about you a lot and hope only the best for you. I never had to do IVF but we did have to wait 17 months to get pregnant with our little princess and 2 years before I got preg. again (I'm just 8 weeks). So, I do know the pain of negative sticks month after month! Anyway, I'm looking forward to an update. GOOD LUCK :)

I'm so glad to hear that your TWW is going well so far. Hoping that the next week flies by too!

Glad your 2ww is going by quickly and that you are able to take it easy and relax. Laying low definitely can't hurt - especially with such precious cargo on board! I'll definitely be impressed if you can wait it out. That's always the hardest part for me. I wanted to start testing at like 9DPO every IUI we did, lol. Not sure what my plan is with our IVF cycle. Does it make it harder mentally when you test early?

Waiting and wishing for positive results for you too! What day do you get to do your beta?
