Ahhh the waiting game. You quickly realize after getting a BFP that the waiting doesn't end with just the 2ww...you then wait for the 2nd beta...the 3rd beta...the first u/s, then the second u/s etc..etc....etc...
We are now in between the first and second u/s. Originally we were going to have the second one this Thursday, but we decided to go to a different physician. After the underwhelming response from Dr. Charming we decided to reschedule the second u/s with the lovely NP that gave me my second shot back in May. We figured good or bad news it will be much more tolerable coming from her. The other upside is that her office is an hour and a half closer to where we live.
In the meantime we wait and twiddle our thumbs. Symptom wise the following is taking place:
1) Crazy hungry ALL THE TIME!
2) Peeing just about every hour
3) Starting to have some nausea (woke up last night at 2AM and thought I was going to hurl)
4) Very tired in the afternoons and evenings
5) Super bloated and have quite a pooch (my mom is convinced there's more than one in there..eeek!)
6) With the bloating comes lots of gas much to Mr. Bags displeasure...sorry honey! : P
7) Aches and pains in the lower abdomen along with periodic groin pain
8) BBS getting bigger and achy much to Mr. Bags delight...:)
I think that about sums it up for now. Thanks for all your lovely comments and support it means so much! It's finally starting to sink in that this might be really happening...but again I don't think I'll get really excited until 12 weeks.
I'm so excited for you!!! What a thrilling (yet scary) time. I hope the wait goes quickly!
ReplyDeleteI hope your appointment brings great news! I agree, the waiting is so tough! I'm in the midst of 2weeks myself, not fun. Glad you are doing well :)
ReplyDeleteHoly cow that's a lot of symptoms, my friend! And so sorry about the gas, Mr. Bags. Haha! I hear you about the 12 weeks thing....that was always my threshold, too. I'm so glad you've switched docs.....Dr. Charming sounds detrimental to the psyche. Looking forward to hearing about the strong heartbeat! :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, us infertiles can't escape the waiting game, even when we think we have.
ReplyDeleteThe waiting game is awful! hang in there and thoughts and prayers for you!! :)
