Oh Progesterone. How I have a love hate relationship with you.
Love how you make my uterus all squishy, but dislike your vivid dreams.
2 nights ago my lovely daily shot of progesterone led to wicked nightmares of blood everywhere.
Thus, I am cautiously optimistic.
I am feeling something though, cramps here and there, as well as exhaustion and some boob tenderness. Just last night I feel asleep at 8:30! Bloody Hell. Well, 3 more sleeps till test day!

Saturday, Day 3! I quickly check my email for the embryologist report at 8am. Nothing yet, but i mean it is the weekend after all, so instead of fussing about it my husband and I got ready to go meet some friends at a Korean Festival.
Everything was going great until the hubster closed out of the directions on how to get there the 5th time and me missing 4 different turn offs and back tracking because of it, making us almost 40 minutes later than I had told the friends I would be there. (Note: I HATE, HATE being late. It is one of my pet peeves. If I say 6pm I’m there 5:55 LATEST.) So 40 minutes? Well after the 4th missed turn because of chubby fingers in the passenger seat I lost it, Cried, yelled, hyperventilation, got light-headed, the works. It got so bad I had to pull the bloody car over to prevent a crash. The guy who’s drive way we used had the sweetest dog who ran over and started licking my hand, which I’m sure was a sight to see for the owner. Here is this crazy woman pulling into his drive way switching places with her husband who is crying hysterically and now laughing and rubbing the ears of this dog. I’m sure if he never sees me again it will be too soon. Hah!
After a brief cool down and the hubster at the wheel we finally made it to the festival.
Lots of food, lots of music and dances!
Once home and resting for it is still painful if I move a lot, I finally got the news!
All 5 embryo’s are developmentally in the correct stage!! WooHoo!!
I hope that they continue on their path to maturity, for tomorrow is the big IMPLANT DAY!
Although doing this for the first trimester, if implant day works tomorrow, is not going to be pleasant.

This is my IVF diary. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for four years now, and have a diagnosis of 'unexplained infertility'. We have finally reached the top of the waiting list for IVF - a form of assisted conception. I'm blogging about what happens as it happens, as a kind of therapy for me and as an awareness raising exercise of what IVF is all about.
