Today is day five past transfer. I still haven't learned all the lingo yet for this interesting world of fertility treatments. I think it's known as 3d5dpt. Haha! I feel like an old lady trying to learn the language of *youngsters*.
Bed rest for the first two days was incredibly depressing especially since I felt great and wanted to go out window shopping with my sweet mother who came to keep me company. Day three I was up and doing dishes again. Never thought I'd be HAPPY to be doing that, but I was thrilled! I practically wrestled mom away from them so I could enjoy the limited activity. Haha!
Day four and five took a sharp turn. I felt extremely tired, generally achy, with bad acid reflux, a very short temper, followed by a little spotting. I thought I was coming down with something, but friends have said this is a good sign from the embryos?! I thought it was the high pollen counts. Ha! Here is a general chart that I found as a guideline if all goes as we hope. Use the "3 Day Transfer" chart. http://www.nyufertilitycenter.org/ivf/embryo_transfer
The boys (and mom) are taking great care of me. They hardly let me get up for any reason. Henok wouldn't let me get in the car yesterday for fear that if we hit a bump, "the embryos will bounce out". HAHA!! He is SO PRECIOUS! I rarely share his cuteness on Facebook because he'll likely die of embarrassment, but he's sure not to read my blog that God forbid might mention *girly parts*. ;)
Nine more days until the pregnancy test!
