5dp3dt - Update

Symptom-wise, there is still nothing going on. I can't believe the progesterone is not even giving my false symptoms. But nope, my body is continuing with the regularly scheduled program.

In other news...

The PIO shots are finally catching up with me. Until yesterday I thought they were no big deal. D and I had been using all the tricks our nurse gave us: heating pad before the shot, running the shot under hot water for 15 seconds, and massaging the area well afterwards. However, D was out of town last night for work, and a friend had to give it to me instead. Without the follow-up shot massage, apparently that sucker can hurt. And though A loves me dearly and was my college roommate and beyond, I think she drew the line at massaging my hiney.

I decided to test out the trigger today. I figured it was my last "safe" day. Logically, at 8DPO, I would not expect a positive pregnancy test. Any day after today, I might be disappointed to find it glaringly white. So, I took the test and can officially report the trigger is no longer in me. I hope that is the last white pregnancy test I ever see.

And most excitingly, we got the call on Monday. Two of our embabies are now snow babies! Or, in plain English, two of the remaining six embryos made it to blast and were able to freeze. I am so ridiculously happy with the news.

So now we continue to wait. Beta is Tuesday. However, I will definitely be testing before then. Wish me some uterine cramping in the meantime (or maybe, if the infertility gods are feeling generous, some implantation bleeding would be nice).

    1. Thank you. It is such a relief to know that there are more out there - either as future tries if this does not work, or future siblings if it does!

  2. Hang in there. I think these are the most difficult few days of the TWW. Hopefully you have some good distraction techniques!

    1. teaching in general is a pretty good distraction because you never have a dull moment. Now that the weekend is coming, I am not so sure (and when did I ever think I would not be looking forward to a weekend!).

  3. Yay for frozen embabies! Sending sticky vibes. I was symptom free my BFP cycle, there is always hope!

  4. Gah! I'm so far behind on my blog reading / commenting from when I had my FET last week! I'm anxiously trying to catch up on your posts so you may see several comments from me today. :)

    And I just have to say that after about a week on the PIO, I started having a rough time too. My backside is so bruised and lumpy - even with using the heating pad and massage techniques. But hopefully, it'll be worth it when I have my beta on Monday!
