The waiting game...
Everytime we inseminate it seems like the dreaded 2 week wait gets longer. I must say though that so far this cycle has been the easiest for me. I'm thinking it's because we went unmedicated this go around, but I've also been very busy so I think it has helped me to keep my mind off of it. The other thing that I think has helped is that I've been trying very hard to stay away from all the TTC forums and trying not to overanalyze every twinge in my body. Overall, I feel much more relaxed this go around. That doesn't mean I haven't had my moments, I did do a brief look on the TTC forums to see how many women started to experience breast tenderness at 4-5 DPO. My breasts have just been a bit tender the past couple of days. I don't know if this is a normal post-ovulation progesterone rise or what since this is my first non-medicated cycle. Either way it seems kind of early. My partner has been experiencing it too though so it's more than likely ovulation related as I feel like our cycles were pretty much on sync this month, but I can't remember and she doesn't keep track since she is so regular. We have decided that if this go around does not work, we are going to look into switching both doctors and donors. My friend and her husband have an RE that they really liked and helped to produce all three of their kids, so obviously the track record is good. And since this is vial 5 of the donor, if it has no success, I think it's about time to start looking into other options. I must say I feel a lot less crazy this month, I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing but it definitely helps with my santity. I've been really trying to keep calm, praying more often and trying to stay focused. I do need to get back on track with my eating habits though, the past few days I have not been good at all and my appetite seems to be a bit increased so I need to get that under control. Oh well, about 9 days to go and hopefully another 8 months after that waiting for a bundle of joy!
