day 2 of house arrest

Hello new follower and thank you!

Day 1. Easy. I was stoned from the sedative.
Day 2. Comfy. Warm woolly socks, soft hiking jumper and BBC radio playing. I (finally) ate a healthy breakfast of egg whites and OJ (it's not coffee but hey, I can go without for the little ones).

I am convinced I am pregnant. I always am on day 2 after the transfer. Every ache and pain, cramp and pull is evident that the embies are snuggling in. Oh I am dizzy, I cry. Then I remember that I just took the antibiotic on an empty stomach. But for today, I am pregnant. Oh so pregnant. I am going to let myself look and feel and hope and dream. Even though I know what will happen on Christmas Eve if we get a BFN. I have tried every which way to minimize the pain of BFN's and nothing works. So I am going to go with my instincts - let my gut lead the way, no pun intended.


On a very sad note, please stop by http://dreamsandfalsealarms.typepad.com/my_weblog/
and offer support.

    You are so very pregnant! I just cannot wait to find out with how many! Hopefully only 2! Maybe 3?

    I truly agree with your philosophy this cycle, no matter how I tried to prepare for a BFN it always tore my heart out....why not revel in your pregnancy, especially since you are pregnant!

    So glad this experience has been so relaxing and good so far! I love that your doc is insisting on a whole week of bedrest - who doesn't need that after the insanity of IVF?? Take it easy and revel in your PUPO=ness!

    I want to hear you try to sing the full bohemian rhapsody whilst stoned. Wouldn't that be a hoot? I've got high hopes for you, there are fabulous things coming your way. Take each step 'til Christmas Eve full of wonder and magic. You, my beautiful EB, deserve it.

    Wonderful! Keep hoping, keep dreaming. Is there any way to convince yourself each of the next 8 days that it's still day 2? That way you can stay in the cozy, blissful state you are in today. Five little ones inside you...just an amazing thought!
