So, this shouldn't even be called the two week wait because it was actually a 10 day wait. So not EVEN two weeks. Just a measly week and three days. ANYONE CAN DO THAT, RIGHT?!?! Ugh. I haaate this. My blood test is tomorrow. Usually when I've had treatments before, I spot a few days before the test so I already know that it didn't work (I always spot before my period). This time, I've been nauseous, my boobs hurt, I'm tired - all possible pregnancy symptoms but also possible side effects from the massive amount of hormones I've been taking.
This round was way harder than the first for a lot of reasons: I've been working (I was at home during my first round), I haven't been meditating as much (I participated in a nine week meditation course during my first round), I only got 7 eggs this time (I had 16 the first round) and the hormones have been much more difficult to deal with (being at work probably hasn't helped with that part)... and let's face it, I'm a year older. Despite all of that, this was my best shot at treatment being successful. I have perfectly good hormone levels, am fertile and have good quality eggs. We were using donor sperm this time. We put two embryos in (one of which was "beautiful"). It was all down to my uterine lining being good (which, medically, it was) and receptive (we're about to find that part out). I FEEL like it worked this time. But that's a dangerous thing to feel, so I've been (trying to) hold back from feeling that way. ARGH, it's just so frustrating. It's not just ten days (or two weeks), it's three years. Y'know?
