New symptoms

Lower tummy fine most of the day, but a little crampy at the end of the day, especially after acupuncture last night. BTW, acupuncturist said my pulses were right on track for a positive, whatever that means. I'll take it!

Yesterday and today's main symptom: pain in the rear. I believe my @ss is finally protesting from being iced down and having nasty needs sticking in it each night as progesterone is forced into it. It's my derriere's way of saying, "Enough!" Can't rightly blame it. Had to have a little talk to it, "Please cooperate! Hang in there. It's for a good cause! It will be worth it, I promise!"

***

My optimism for this cycle continues. Each time my brain strays near the brink of that chasm of doom that is the possibility of a BFN, a part of me yanks it back with a solid, "It's working this time."

I just hope we don't have a "I told you so!" moment with that negative side of my brain. Even entertaining that idea freaks me out and I jolt back to happy feelings.

And calm.

Saturday's beta can't come soon enough. Loved Tracey's comment yesterday about her mom's wishes: "She said she wished they could induce a coma on her so that she could just be woken up after the results were in!"

Amen, sistah!

Just keep those positive thoughts coming! I'm crossing everything for you!

I've always wondered about the correlation between your pulse and a positive. I thought I heard it somewhere else as well...

At any rate, I really hope they're right, and that your numbers come out great on Saturday.

OO, that coma thing is a great idea. They put you on so many drugs as it is... I'm sure they could start adding one more to make it work...

Leslie said...

I really like the coma idea too! I so admire your strength and positive-ness! Hoping that the next few days speed by and you have great news on Saturday!!

So so hoping that this works, and am loving the part of your brain that pulls you back to the positive thinking!

I promise you - your ass will be much much worse when you are 9 months preggers... lets see, that will be September........ :-) Fingers, toes, earlobes, and anything else that can be crossed are crossed.

Also, just to share, my IF buddy RS just e-mailed that she is 3 months along. Has been trying for at least 5 (I don't know all her details)... but success begets success.

Be well.
