ITEM:
The fact that I take a fist full of vitamins daily. I’m too paranoid to stop taking them.(clockwise from the top red one: prenatal + DHA, fish oil, estrace, colace (I *heart* colace), royal jelly, CoQ10 x2)
ITEM
The fact that I can’t remember if I took my estrace this morning. And I’m having an internal panic – do I take another one just in case I DIDN’T take it? Can you overdose on estrace? Do I NOT take one in case I DID remember to take it? Called my nurse but she hasn’t responded yet. Grump. Anyone have any suggestions?
ITEM
The fact that I had this email waiting for me when I got to work (excerpt):
Over the past couple of days they have had “heavy” coverage of [redacted] issues on their web site and also, I noted in the “paper” edition of this morning.
NO. Just NO. Your quotations license is revoked. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
ITEM
The fact that my clinic starts counting the two-week wait when you have your transfer, not when the embryos are made. So REALLY I have a two-and-a-mother-fucking-HALF week wait.
Are you going to test at home? You should be able to get a pretty accurate result by day 9.
I’m trying to hold out as long as I can. I’m not sure if it would be accurate yet? I did a Lupron trigger, but then they gave me a small shot of hCG the day of retrieval…do you think that would still show up at this point? The hCG entered my system 2 days later than I would use it for a trigger with IUI. Hmmm…
I used this chart as a guide:
http://www.nyufertilitycenter.org/ivf/embryo_transfer
…and I did get a faint positive after nine days (that was a frozen cycle w/o a trigger). I tested again every 48 hours, and you could see the progression. They gave me the hcg shot after my last fresh cycle too, and if you wait until day 10 or 11 it should be totally out of your system.
ahh that helps. thanks. I was just wondering about testing myself. It is 10dp2dt and I am feeling a little anxious since morning.
