9dp6dt - Symptoms & HPTs

Symptoms:

Middle of the night - a pretty vivid dream, peed once.

Morning - Couple ute tweaks.

Mid-day - Weird smelling pee.  A few ute tweaks maaaaaaybe?   Bloated after lunch - pants feel tight (even though I'm at an all time low for the year).

Afternoon - A little tired after lunch.  Little bit of light brown spotting.

Evening - A little tired after dinner.  Little bit of light brown spotting.  Maaaaaybe a boob tweak while laying on the couch?  Tongue scraper blood. 

I need to keep remembering this and push out the fear!!

So nervous to test tonight, I don't know why.  Maybe because the symptoms (the tweaking and cramping and pulling) has vastly dissipated.  Maybe the little babe is all snuggled in now?   This makes me happy though.  Victor's cycle at 9 days post transfer - hardly a single symptom that day specifically too!  

Finally caved at 8:30pm and tested....

I actually did two wondfos tonight because 

I thought the first looked way too light, 

the second one didn't let me down:

8dp6dt - Symptoms & HPTs

Symptoms:

Middle of the night - nothing.  pee once.   no cramps.  no dreams.  nothing.  :(

Morning - Spotting seems to have stopped.  Tongue scraper blood (I use a tongue scraper and a consistent "symptom" is when I scrape when pregnant a little bit of blood is drawn).

Mid-day - Maybe a few ute tweaks.    

Afternoon - A few ute tweaks.  Somewhat bloated.

Evening - Cramps, bloat, tweaks during dinner.  Tongue scraper blood.  Tiny light brown spot.  

Hopefully tonight is the perfect time 

for the FRER line to finally get dark!!

7dp6dt - Symptoms & HPTs

Called the Cleveland Clinic to tell them about the spotting and that Mike and I made the executive decision to up my progesterone from 1 cc to 2 cc (50mg to 100mg) a day.  I also told the nurse about the positive home tests and she let me move the official test day from 14dpt (Monday) to 11dpt (this Friday)!

Symptoms:

Middle of the night - nothing.  never even got up to pee.  no dreams.  nothing.  :(

Morning - Light brown spotting.  Cramp here or there.  Tongue scraper blood (I use a tongue scraper and a consistent "symptom" is when I scrape when pregnant a little bit of blood is drawn).  Thirsty.

Mid-day - Light brown spotting.  

Afternoon - Light brown spotting.

Evening - Light brown spotting.  Ute pinches here and there.  Cramps after eating.   Tongue scraper blood (I use a tongue scraper and a consistent "symptom" is when I scrape when pregnant a little bit of blood is drawn).

Tested this morning (6.5dpt on the FRER because it won't be 7dp until 2:30pm today and the test was taking around 6am - photographed around 7:30am):

This morning's test (at 90 minutes) compared to last-night's test (at 30 mins) and two-nights-ago's test (at 90 minutes) - aka all still a little wet:

This this this:

Took a few tests this evening (8:45pm).  I have to say, at first I thought it was over.  The new curved FRERS take so long to darken!  I even called out to Mike it was over.  Anyways, I think we are okay - at least today. 

Took a while to show up, but there's a line still:

Wondfos to date:

Took another digital:

Tests showing 5dpt, 6dpt, and 7dpt in the evening all within 90 minutes of taking them (aka all still a little wet):

6dp6dt - Symptoms & HPTs

Haven't tested yet today.   I am going to try and hold out until this evening.  We'll see how well that goes!!   I did update yesterday's post with some more photos from last night's test.

Symptoms:

Middle of the night - slight cramps after peeing

Morning - Tiny ute tweak

Mid-day - Cramps/bloat at lunch, a bit of brown spotting after wiping, ute tweaks

Afternoon - heavy spotting / brown flow.  I spotted during Victor's cycle on this day but this is way more than that.   Freaking out.  Took a nap to pass time.   Still brown spotting after but not as bad.   Please just be insane implantation spotting from being on lovenox!!  Slight cramps too.   Oh, I made Mike give me another PIO injection to rule out AF trying to show.   Going to do 2cc a day starting tomorrow instead of 1cc.  They up it as you get older anyways.  I'll be advanced maternal age this year (35) so that's just what I'm doing (and no, taking extra isn't bad, but not having enough is VERY BAD).   

Evening - Still spotting a little.  No where near as badly as this afternoon.  Covered the whole panty liner before!  Acne between boobs.  Maybe veiny?   Maybe thirsty?  Tongue scraper blood (I use a tongue scraper and a consistent "symptom" is when I scrape when pregnant a little bit of blood is drawn).

HPTs.... still super light.  Was hoping for a nice darkening since yesterday but really, it looks the same as yesterday.   

This is actually yesterdays around 45 minutes and today's around 90 minutes.  I made this mash-up photo because today's is actually lighter than yesterday's DRIED test.  So I had to cheer myself up by comparing them when they were both still a little "new".

PLEASE GOD LET ONE OF THESE BABIES STICK!  PLEASE!!!

If they don't, I have this inspiring me!  (A dear friend shared this with me.)

5dp6dt - Symptoms & Squinters!

Good morning!  Didn't test - yet!   My first morning urine ALWAYS makes the lightest line (even lighter than a night before) so I'm waiting until at least this afternoon.  Maybe evening.  Maybe tomorrow.  Gosh I don't know!  

It's still technically 4dp6dt as I type - since it won't be 5dp6dt until 2:30 this afternoon.  Just saying.  It's still really early to see a positive.  I also read that the new curvy FRERs are giving girls false positives!  I REALLY don't want a false positive getting my hopes up!

Symptoms:

Middle of the night - slight cramps after peeing.

Morning - Maaaaybe more vivid dreams?  No sex dreams tho - damn.  I woke up at 5:40am with a headache and ABSOLUTELY starving.  I could only hold out until 6:20 and then I got dressed (sweatpants and a sweatshirt of course - nothing fancy) and went downstairs to make my breakfast prenatal drink.  

Mid-day - Another tiny tan spot (that I noticed and took as a good sign so I collected my pee in a dixie cup - see below), headache still lingering, lower right ute tweaking on and off

Afternoon - Nothing really.  Napped with Victor, but I always do that on the weekend.  lol.  Yellow cm.

Evening - Yellow cm, ute tweaks.

CAVED AND TESTED .... 10 AM (so 4.5 hours shy of 5dpt).....  Squinter on the wondfo (between the ring and the dark pink line) (I don't trust them tho - they've hurt me in the past) and a super duper crazy squinter on the FRER (which, as of last night's reading, the new curvy FRER's give false positives)...so I'm excited but too scared to believe this is the real deal!

8:45 PM's tests:

5dp6dt new curvy frer - 20 minutes after the test

4dp6dt - Symptoms

Symptom Watch

Morning - peed twice in the middle of the night (normal for me though)

Noon - one teeeeeeeny tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny (light tan) spot

Afternoon - Tiny instantaneous lower right ute pinch

Evening - Weird pinging in my cervical area, acne on chin and between boobs, thought I seemed veiny after a hot shower (I'm typically like that lately tho), thirsty, a little more tired than usual....maybe?

To keep me sane during the work day (even though I'm working from home I still get stressed), I've been listening to flute meditation music.  This is a good one on youtube I have playing:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH8nsXpxlxU

I also have had incense sticks burning non-stop next to me!!!

This one made me laugh:

3dp6dt - Symptoms

Man this blows.   Come on symptoms!   Come on uterine pulling!   Come on cramping!    Come on something!!!    I know I need to leave it in His hands but man this is tough.  14th and 15th embryos transferred.   I just want another baby!!!!!!   Totally testing this weekend btw.  It will be 5dp and 6dp a 6dt (or a 5dt if you want to count it as such).  So 10-12dpo depending on how you look at it and depending on wether we test Saturday or Sunday.  I'm leaning towards testing Saturday evening so I can have a giant glass (and/or bottle) of wine if it's a BFN!

Symptom Watch

Late afternoon.... maaaaaaybe a little bloated, a tiny cramp, and maaaaybe peeing more?

Evening:  slight burning feeling in lower right ute.  Burny nips for like 10 seconds.  Thirsty.

Lovenox hates me by the way.... 

Too late....the fears have already devoured me in this two week wait...
