I just wanted to pop in give a quick update. I am 9dpiui and have 5 days until I can take a HPT or the beta in a week. At this point I am still patiently waiting to test. I am still thinking fertile as Dr. T says and honestly I have my hopes up but I do not “feel” one way or the other – I still have no clue what the test will say in a week.
I have been doing fairly well in keeping up with the pact I made with myself in avoiding everything and anything that could cause stress. It has been difficult not getting worked up over morons that I tend to have to speak to on the phone daily if not multiple times a day because of my job. Deep breaths seem to do the trick!
I am on the prescription of progesterone, as apposed to the compound form last cycle I am now on the yellow prometrium capsules. I am definitely feeling more side effects but thankfully I am not having the reaction I did last cycle. It still isn’t the best feeling or thing in the world but I am dealing with it nicely this cycle.
Other then that I am so deeply addicted to a series of books called Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I am not much of a reader, and normally it could take me months to finish a novel. Well this book has captivated me so much that I have read 2 ½ Books in two weeks. The second book I actually read in one day… and have now started pacing myself, since there are only 4 books left in the series. The movie comes out next month so I will be dragging my husband (hopefully not kicking and screaming) to see it with me. If you aren’t much of a reader but want to try it out the first copy is only 10 bucks in paperback and is definitely worth a try in my honest opinion. It has really helped take the edge off of this two week wait! Anything that can do that (since I am completely obsessed with over analyzing every symptom normally) deserves a cookie or a Dewey button. On a side note the baseball playoffs have helped my husband take his mind off of this cycle although I can’t say that it has helped him stay de-stressed! So all and all we have done pretty good in keeping our mind active this cycle and hopefully it will pay off in the end with a BFP!
