Sorry I haven't posted for a while. Just been in the two-week wait, and waiting and waiting and waiting.
I went in on CD 21 and had my bloodtest. I scored 16 on progesterone and 158 on estradiol. That means I DID ovulate, and not too badly. They wanted 20 on the progesterone, so now I've been taking progesterone suppliments. I hate them. They are icky and make me very moody. Kevin has definitely noticed it.
We were joking today that perhaps the reason I am such a nice person is because my hormones are so low. I have easy periods, no PMS, I'm always perky and happy. Now that I have REAL female hormones I'm more of a bitch. HA! I feel really whiney too. Oh well, I guess that means the shit is working, right?
Wednesday is CD 28, when I'm due for my period and when I'm supposed to take a pregnancy test. I've already taken one expensive test and one cheap test, and they were both negative. But, that's probably to be expected, it was really early.
I've had no symptoms so far, and if I was pregnant, I would probably be having some symptoms by now. But there have been none, other than general bitchiness, probably caused by the progesterone suppliments (bloating and depression are the two main side-effects).
I will take another test tomorrow though, and see how that goes. I will use the ClearBlue Easy test, which is a very good one. If I am pregnant, there is an 83% chance I'll know tomorrow (based on the accuracy of the test). I love ClearBlue Easy stuff, man, they are the best at everything.
I'm depressed about this cycle though. I was so worried a few days ago about having triplets, and now I'm sad that not a single egg made it! Well, it is still possible I'm pregnant (though my chart isn't great and I have no symptoms) but it is quite unlikely that I'm having twins or more! Just because I really SHOULD be having some symptoms and positive tests with twins!
There is a girl at my work who is pregnant. Maybe 4 months or so, I don't know. She is really small and is wearing giant maternity clothes which her stomach doesn't fill in yet. I look at her all the time because I'm so jealous and happy for her. It is kind of like having a rock star work in my office. I want to try to come up with some way to talk to her, so I can have a pregnancy friend, but I don't know her. Plus, I'm not pregnant, so I would only be like stalking her. When I get pregnant and get to 18 weeks though (so I don't have to worry as much about a miscarriage), then I'll talk to her (though she'll probably have a baby by then!). Oh well.
Anyway, cross your fingers and send me good thoughts for tomorrow.
