So yeah. The phrase 'hurry up and wait' has been uttered sooooooo many times in this process. Now we are in the 'lets wait' phase. I did lay on the couch for 3 days after the transfer. One of the medicines they had me on after the retrieval had made me crazy and super sick. I was just starting to feel better when the transfer day came - but thought it would be best to rest for 3 days just in case.
We've been keeping busy with baseball and more baseball. I really haven't thought too much about my blood test that is at the end of the week. I was just thinking tonight driving to the grocery store 'i can't believe i just went through IVF'. For so long I was so not doing it - and this all happened so fast I still can't believe that it happened and is already over. Overall i'm feeling good. The shots have been totally fine - lidocaine is my friend. I can't imagine having to do them without it.
Todd is kinda cracking me up. I said from the beginning that I didn't want to take a pregnancy test before the blood test. I just wanted to wait it out (for those of you that know me this is TOTALLY NOT my personality) I figured we've waited this long and there isn't any issues with timing - we know that all that possibly could be done has been done so i just wanted to wait. Todd asked me 2 days ago and said 'Well do you have a test at home?' I was like no! I don't want one and plus we are like 10 days off from test day dude! LOL He's asked me twice since then. (I think someone is a little excited)
But for now we wait.
I realized in the last post I said I didn't goto run for fun because I didn't want people asking me questions and i'm afraid it came out wrong. See I had been on meds the previous 4 days before that which were making me crazy. I felt like shit. my mind was racing. my head was throbbing. and I felt like i might burst out in tears if anyone said anything at all to me.... so it wasn't that I didn't want people to ask me questions because I didn't want to answer them... it was because I didn't want to embarrass myself with my crazy-crying self.
I feel that I've over shared - but have been overwhelmed with the support from everyone. From the funny texts about my uterus to the shirtless men pics - you guys seriously rock my world!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
