Every single day I struggle to stay positive and not obsess!
I was feeling really discouraged when we didn't get any fertilized eggs to the blastocyst stage and thereby get frozen.
I felt somewhat comforted when searching online and finding out that typically only half of a women's eggs are viable, not all eggs will fertilize, and typically less than half of those eggs make it to a blastocyst.
To be honest I don't know how accurate these stats are, but they did make me feel better.
In the past week I have experienced:
bloating, nausea, breast tenderness, lower back pain, and twinges in my uterus
Of course all of these symptoms can be for pregnancy or PMS... AND they all can be side effects of the estrogen and progesterone that they have me on.
So I won't really know anything until I have the blood work done and get the phone call from the Regional Fertility Clinic confirming either way.
In the meantime I am continuing to be hopeful and pray that we will finally get pregnant.
Praying for good news!!
