Bed - 6dp5dt

I'm writing from my bed, which I swear I'm going to get out of soon.  I do need to get to work at some point today.  I just feel super crappy.   So I figured I'd blog, then shower.  Cool?  Cool.

The last two days have just been symptoms hell.  It's a lot of the same stuff I've felt in previous cycles, but like on crack - intensified like woah.  Fingers crossed that this is because we've got some implanting going on in there, but I'm not foolish enough to not realize it could just as easily be progesterone side effects (like every other time).  I'd describe what I'm feeling as crampy, pukey (not actual puke, just nauseous),  sweaty, dizzy, achey lower back, and a bad stomach (details not forthcoming).  I'm also super tired, but I feel like that, most of all, makes sense.  My body is working hard.  Anyhow, all of this, it comes and goes throughout the day in intensity.  Right now, it's not so good.

I posted, back in my first cycle, this chart for 3 day transfers. Here it is for 5 day transfer.  By today, I'm definitely either pregnant or not.  But I still have more than a week till my beta test, since UCSF tests on day 14pt.  Might test early.  But I also like to put off bad news.  So, we'll see what happens between now and then.

OK.  I don't have enough sick time left to lay here any longer.  God forbid I use my sick time because I actually feel sick, instead of needing to save it all for future doctor appointments, and having used it all on past appointments.  Awesome.

Anyhow, keep those fingers and toes crossed for me.  If I keep being "sick" like this because I have a baby growing in me, I will happily sit at work all day almost puking with a great big smile on my face.

  3. Rooting for you, and remembering that Sarah felt barfy and bad around the same time, long before she tested, and it ended up being Ellis!
