Holy batman emotions!! Last night was a roller coaster, I was just so tired and so emotional. Every little twinge makes me wonder, is something happening that is good? Is it implantation twinges? I had some brown spotting yesterday and then again today. Just once yesterday and so far once today.
I was brave yesterday and did my own PIO shot. J thought though that I need to use the 1.5 inch needle versus the 1 inch needle. He will be home tonight and will resume giving me the shot. I have been feeling more and more twinges and light cramps along with the brown spotting. I am worried but I also know that these all can be signs of implantation.
Lets see what the rest of today will bring and tomorrow as well!

6dp3dt
Today is a day that many people get positive tests but I am not testing. I am contemplating testing tomorrow but I am really not sure. I know for sure that I will test on Thursday morning because I would rather be prepared for the news since I will be at work and J will be too.
I am really hoping that one of the three or two of the three or even all three stick around. The emotions of phantom symptoms are abounding. Most can be attributed to the Progesterone that I am injecting on a daily basis so I really dont know that the sore boobs are for the future kids or the shot in the butt. I am so scared that the pregnancy test wont come back as a positive. Everyone that I know that has used Dr. Knockmeup has gotten success on thier first try. In the far reaches of my head, there is a small tiny voice that every now and again says... he is do for a failure but I am sure he has those just not with my friends. SO, I hope the streak of success continues among the woman that I know who have used him, including me.
When do you think I should test?
7dp3dt?
8dp3dt?
9dp3dt?
10dp3dt?
11dp3dt? Beta Day

4dp3dt
In normal people speak, that is 4 days after a 3 day transfer. See the little guys, were on day 3 when Dr. Knockmeup decided they needed to go home and today is the 4th day from the 3rd day! Have I lost you yet? Good!
We got our freeze report yesterday and none made it to freeze. Very sad but I do see the light in that 2 were very early blastocysts. So, it just means they were a little behind. And, well that is okay. The ones that were put back were just a little behind so I am going with this whole trend that they will likely be late implanters. It is funny but I talk to them every day. I told J that people will think I am nutty but you know what, this is the closest we have ever gotten to getting KU so as far as I am concerned that I am until next Thursday.
Next Thursday is Beta day. The day, my poor bruised arms go before the nurse to suck out some more blood. At least this time, it is free! YEAH! I just have to wait a day for my progesterone test. I had wanted to fork out another $125 I could have had the test at the lab that does it in one day but I would really like to save some of what little money we have left.
It was funny, yesterday, I stuck something between my chest and my arm to open the car door and holy, heck, battman, my boobs HURT! I am going to attribute it to the PIO (progesterone in oil) that J thankfully gives me every night in the back side.
I do have some pictures of the little guys so I will leave you with images of what I hope will one day be in my arms.

3dt
Well, we did a 3dt today. They put back 2 - 7 cell grade 2.5 and one 6 cell 2.5. They are really hopefully that they will stick. We have 3 more growing away so I hope and pray that they grow to being frozen as well.

Scanning for little follicles
Good Morning Everyone!
I thought that I would give a quick update on where life is in the expensive lane. Dr. Knockmeup and the dildocam and I had a great visit this week, in fact, 2 of them. On our first visit down memory lane, he counted 6 follicles, 3 on each side just growing away. My E2 was 90.
On our second visit, E2 was 210 and there were now 10 little follicles humming along. 7 on righty and 5 on lefty. HA! Almost sounds like Poncho and Lefty... he,he,he. Which reminds me that I need to ask if I can listen to music while in for ER as I would love to listen to our wedding music. It has some great songs on it.
I upped my meds from 300 a night to 375. Which was oh, so fun last night! I did not have enough in one shot so I had to give myself 3 of them! Man, that was fun.... NOT! J gave me one of them but cringed as I gave myself the other 2. Fun times, Fun Times.
Lets hope that they grow, grow, grow! I have another appt on Monday, bright and early to see how the little follicles that could are doing.

Shots and Mock Transfer
Well, today I went in for a suppression check and to do a mock transfer. See when they put the little embies back in, they have to put them back at the best place. So, they do a mock transfer to ensure that they know the size of your uterus. It wasn't too bad until the doc hit the back of it! OMG. Shock wave. Now for the rest of the day I have had cramps and a general yucky feeling! I am cleared to proceed with shots when old Aunt Flo shows up. Yeah, I have been off the pill now since Sunday and just light spotting. She actually has to show up for me to start the next stage. Isn't that nice.
So, here is hoping to the hag to show up!

My Meds arrived & the fun has started
My meds arrived partially on Monday & the rest on Tuesday. As I was putting one of them into the fridge at work (it has to stay refrigerated), one of my coworkers came up to me to ask if that was a new way to bring lunch to work. I told her no, that it was my medications. Well, that apparently did not go over well, she hasn't talked to me since then!
Today I went to Dr. Knockmeup and a visit to the dildocam. All was nice and quite. I started the first set of shots tonight, it is the Lu.pron. J did the first shot and it was okay. I think that I will try to do the one tomorrow morning knowing that he can come in and help me when he gets off of work. I am dreading the headaches but knowing that this is all part of the plan.
I am so scared that this will not work. It is such a big chance and an expensive one at that. I am trying to reduce my stress, I am trying to get as much done at work as I can without stressing myself out. Next appt is next Thursday, then it is shots two times a day!
Next appt is the baseline and to write a nice large check. Oh. My.
