So we are in the 2WW (two week wait). And it sucks. Not knowing sucks. I can't wait to test. But my little instruction sheet said not to test until 1/14. Torture. Plain and simple.
I could test earlier, but here's the thing. The trigger shot is made of HCG, the very same hormone that pregnancy tests test for. So I could get a false positive and that would be a huge let down if it turned out that I really wasn't preggers.
In the meantime, I have filled my wait with distractions like going to the movies only to leave the movie every half hour to pee. Reading forums that I have been lurking on. Not lurking by choice, but because for some reason, I can't get them to send me an activation code so I can start posting. I have tried over and over to no avail. Oh and doing some research on what could possibly be going on with our egg and sperm.
Guess I am gaining some valuable patience. Don't know how long I can really wait. I will most likely test on the 12th since that will be 14 days from trigger. Maybe even sooner.
No matter what I have to test again on the 14th and if it is positive, I go to my RE for first beta test. Then again in 2 days for 2nd beta test. If all is well with those numbers, go back later this month for ultrasound to determine how many implanted.
If it's negative, I stop the progesterone suppositories and wait for my period to begin the 2nd cycle. Fingers crossed we don't have to do a second cycle.
