The dreaded Two Week Wait

Wow I have a lot to catch up on! I was originally scheduled for a 3 day transfer last Thursday. On Wednesday the doctor called and told me that he would prefer to, and so recommend to, do a 5 day transfer instead. I was a little leery but basically he explained that I had so many embryos that were looking good and others that were close behind that it would be impossible to choose only two on day 3. (At that time they should be 4 cells)  They all look the same so who knows which are actually better? If I didn't have so many, 7-10+, the I would have gone ahead with the 3 day transfer. By the time of the 5 day transfer, I had only 2 really good looking embryos, and 3-4 ok ones. We transferred the two "great" ones. It was cool to watch! The doctor said he would give the remaining embryos one more day to grow before determining how many to freeze. Turns out only 1 made it to freeze. So in retrospect I'm really happy we did the 5 day transfer because the other embryos didn't even make it. Crazy considering I started with 17 eggs!! 

Now I am 2dp5dt (two days past 5 day transfer lol). I am in my dreaded TWW. I feel like I've lived my life in a series of two week increments for the last 18 months. Two week wait, negative test, two weeks waiting for ovulation, two week wait and so on. This two week wait is shaping up to be something...quite awful. Starting the day of the transfer I have been sick. Really sick. Friday, day before transfer, I was getting hoarse and feeling a little fatigued. Saturday morning I woke up with an extremely sore throat and coughing fits-lovely. Luckily I was able to keep it in check during the procedure. By late afternoon "the sickness" had spread up into my head and stuffiness joined the symptoms. Yesterday I woke up even more sick!!!! Horrible. Horrible day. Today I had to go to work. I could barely talk. Did I mention I'm a teacher? Yeah, need to talk for that. My chest is seriously hurting from coughing and trying to talk all day (and can I mention the 7:45 am nosebleed?). So, if there are any symptoms, I can't feel them. I have just been taking Tylenol so as to hopefully prevent a fever!!

Now, can we talk about the progesterone inserts? What a mess!!  First of all I have to "insert" them 3 times a day.  This means once at work. I can't remember to do it at 2:30 and am always late. I have ruined 2 pairs of underwear. Literally taken them off and said "not worth it" and thrown them away. I even bought these bigger "long" length pads. I don't know what else to do. Standing at work all day makes it all leak and it's just gross. 

Well I hope it works but am prepared for it to not work. We shall see!! Beta test is scheduled for Friday 9/27. So...far...away...

I will definitely be poas whether I'm supposed to or not.
