Still nothing much

Just writing this so in future months I can compare dpts (days past transfer) for the symptom game. Nothing worthwhile today. Bloating not too bad (saw my mom today and she commented that I've lost weight), very little cramping, if at all (we stayed really busy and I'm trying not to think about it). That's it. :/

I am already writing this cycle off because I just don't feel anything. I'm also looking up stuff because L and I decided tonight that we're going to start getting a nursery prepared because of our homestudy coming up. I'm hoping one way or another we will have a baby within the next year.

We're not going crazy, mind you. We tried to sell our home last year for a full year and the market is so slow we took it off, paid off my student loans, and are going to save till next Spring before putting it back on the market. So we need to do things that will help us sell. We already talked about putting in hardwood or laminate flooring instead of our wall to wall carpet, and since we're going to be repainting what would be the nursery anyway to sell, we're going to change the flooring there first before the rest of the house. That requires us to take off the baseboards anyway, so we'll paint in the color we want for a nursery (a nice yellow color, I think) and then all we need to do is buy the baby furniture and decorate it. In the meantime, it'll continue to serve as our spare bedroom.

Thinking about this makes me happy. Moving forward in anything makes me happy. We've been stuck for far too long. I'm trying to live for today.

Well, the jury's still out on whether I'm having any very occasional cramping (it's certainly not as much as last month), but today the bloat came on with a vengeance. At least I finally have something to show for having ET done. Until now I've barely felt like I'd done IVF...the bloating I had from stims went down right after trigger and hadn't come back after transfer, unlike last cycle. I don't know why I WANT bloat, really, I just want some sort of symptom - anything!

No crazy dreams last night. I'm actually having a really tough time sleeping. I'm too warm (likely due to progesterone suppositories, which I take right before bed) and uncomfortable at night.

I'm just trying to keep track of my "symptoms" this month in an effort to know how full of crap (or how right) they were in the future.

Lovenox shots are getting easier. They go in easy (Bravelle hurt much more) but there's a delayed reaction and then a BUUURN. Ouch. But it's getting better. I will be polka dotted soon though because each prick causes a small bruise.

I got my P4 and E2 tested today like I asked for! E2 was 142 and P4 was 17.6. Both are ok numbers, I think. The RE said I didn't need to come back again before beta. I don't know about the E2, but I've read P4 should be above 15 for medicated cycles. Considering I'm on both suppositories AND pills, I'm surprised it's "only" 17.6, not too much above the minimum. This supports my theory I didn't have enough last month.
