8dp5dt

(Sorry Jess, no Sharpie in the house! I plan on stealing one from work for future use)
Obviously this morning I wanted to see the darkest positive that ever was, but I'd say for a gap of 24hours between tests there is some progression. Agreed?
We've waited so very long to get here and now I'm petrified! I won't feel a little better until my beta tomorrow - as soon as I hear the nurse say "it's positive!" Over the phone I might start believing it a little more.
Symptom wise:
1) Cramps are still very much with me. A little more on and off than they were between 4-7dpt but every so often I get a good one that reminds me what's going on.
2) Boobs are bigger and heavier, but not as sore as I thought they would be. The type of soreness I am experiencing though is very different to any I've experienced before.
3) Thirst. Actually, I don't know if it's thirst or dry mouth (is there a difference?) but I'm drinking tons of water/squash and never getting enough.
4) Peeing. More to do with the thirst I should imagine, there's not enough going on down there to account for the hourly trips to the bathroom.
5) Hot!! So very warm constantly! Last night I fell asleep only to wake up an hour later feeling like my bed had been moved to the centre of the earth. Poor Martin spent the night in the guest bedroom as sleeping in a bed with him when I'm so hot is impossible.
That's about it. I'm numb. It doesn't feel like this is happening to me. I can't stop thinking about everything! One more day until beta and then I'm hoping some of this worry begins to fade, or at least gets replaced with a worry for first scan.
Cling on little one! You're causing me enough pain in there, you better be buried deep!!

Do they have you on extra progesterone and estrogen? That extra boost really screws with symptoms too.
ReplyDeleteGood progression! The worry will be replaced. :) I don't think there's every a point of no worry when you're an IF. Can't wait for doubling betas!
DeleteNope, they got me au naturale! No medications or any type - that was really the only thing that spurred me on to test as I knew progesterone couldn't be causing the few things I could feel.
ReplyDeleteThey might put me on extra progesterone depending on bloods tomorrow, but until then my vajayjay is suppository free!!
Nice! Keep your arse that way during the pregnancy as well. :P
