4dp5dt! Five days until testing!
I have been wanting to write that kind of code for SO long. :)
What's going on? Progesterone is putting me on edge. Yesterday I wrote a whole post about the things my husband has been doing that have been making me nuts. It was just to vent and I realized that it totally just sounded whiny since it ignored all the wonderful things he was doing, so I got rid of it.
Tuesday was our 3rd anniversary! :) We postponed celebrating until yesterday because we're in *gasp* a big city for a meeting and they have...wait for it...restaurant choices!! Woohoo!! When I called to make a reservation, they asked if we were celebrating anything and I said "No...oh, wait! Yes! It's our anniversary!" (My brain had blanked.) It was nice because then, at the restaurant, everyone kept saying "Happy Anniversary" and they gave us dessert. It was just a lot of fun.
I overdid it last night trying to walk back to the hotel. I guess everything is still a little sore and I hadn't been doing much of anything, and suddenly I just got really tired and achy. So, we just kind of slowed way down and waddled back. My DH has been so sweet and so supportive. He is taking care of me and keeps holding and kissing my tummy. So, I'm taking it easy today. At some point I'm going to wander around shopping a bit (my husband is the one with the meeting -- I'm on fall break! ;) ) But, I definitely need to remember that I should relax.
My breasts are killing me. That started the day of retrieval (before even starting the prog suppositories). Everything else that I'm feeling (tired, slightly nauseous) started before the transfer even happened -- so, yeah, I think we can assign it to progesterone and not baby!
So far the wait isn't too bad. The distraction of being out of town for a few days (in a wonderful hotel) is good. I'm just trying to stay calm and keep my mind off of it all.
It's kind of tough to do.
Hmm...not the world's most interesting post. But, there you go!
Happy anniversary! What a nice way to celebrate!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck distracting yourself! Happy shopping.

Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHmm I so recognize the irritable mood towards husband =) It's kind of funny when you think about it with a little perspective. I'm with you in the waiting game..
Happy Anniversary! So glad you could celebrate it in style. I hope your soreness eases up soon, I remember not liking that feeling of having to take it easy like that.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're having side effects from the progesterone. This time around, I'm actually not having any sort of symptoms what-so-ever!! I wonder if it is because I'm using a different type of prog this time. I do hate the leakage though.
Happy Anniversary! Glad you have a nice distraction during the dreaded 2ww. Take care of yourself Rebecca & have fun!
ReplyDelete***Happy Anniversary!***
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break, have fun shopping and most of all, keep taking it easy! I hope the discomfort will be gone soon (only for a sweet trade-in for some other kinds;)
4dt5dp IS A GREAT CODE!!! (oh! my that's exciting, the POAS-neon was already blinking on my forehead at that time, LOL) ... getting soooooooo close!
I am on pins and needles for you, my Twinnie!
Happy Anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteI hope these five days go by quickly for you. Keeping everything possible crossed for you!
happy anniversary, I don't know why but I just have a feeling with this one (and they are normally pretty bang on too!)
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary :)) When I first started blogging, those codes used to baffle me... it took me a little while to work out what all the IF/IVF hieroglyphics meant !! Great that you've been able to take it easy and that your husband is so supportive... progesterone is a nightmare - that drug should come with some major warnings... to us and our partners :)) Love to you always xoxo
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary !!! Sounds like you're having a great time and keeping yourself busy enough not to stress out.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! I hope the next few days fly by for you!
ReplyDeletehappy anniversary! and woot..five days to go -- fingers crossed they go quickly for you. and boo! @ sore boobs..i know how that is and it's yuck! i am praying for you and your little embies. xox
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteGoodluck getting through the next 5 days till testing,i have everything crossed.
Happy Anniversary! And good luck!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!!! Sorry the progesterone and TWW have you on edge. Happy you were able to take a step back from the mild annoyances your DH has and focus on the big picture. THat can be so hard to do sometimes. In my IVF cycle my bbs hurt like never before, my RE said it has more to do with all those follicular cycsts and the natural progesterone being secreted than the supplemented progesterone. So it's probably just your body doing it's thing.
ReplyDeleteHope you are able to take it easy and also get a little shopping in. Nice that you are away from home to enjoy a little down time away from everything you've had going on. Still sending tons of snuggle in vibes!
