So long, 2017. Happy to see it go like yesterday's trash.
It's been a very busy December. I did a final interview for a new job, and am pleased as punch that they offered it to me right before Christmas. So the day after my embryo transfer, I took myself to a fingerprinting place for my background check. On the 26th, I gave my official notice, and will start the new position in a couple of weeks. Happy joy!
Last Saturday, I started to feel really crampy. Very little spotting, but way crampy. Sunday, mega crampy, in a way that made Saturday feel like I was being tickled. I was pretty sure it was the d@mn adenomyosis rearing it's ugly head. It can happen at any time, but right before AF is when it's at its absolute worse. Took two extra strength Tylenol, and slept with the heating pad.
Beta was this morning, and I was sitting here trying to decide if I would post as soon as I knew, or if I would wait and see how I felt. After reading a great article, I decided I would share. After all, there are more people looking for hope in the nasty world of IF than there are people who know my face, and if I am able to provide even a little sliver, it's totally worth it.
I've written all the above while I wait and hope. What an exercise in patience (which I don't always have)!
Funny how when the phone starts ringing, it doesn't stop. Received four calls, one after the other. while soaking to two at a time, I see my nurse calling. "I have good news for you," she says. "Congratulations, you're pregnant." First Beta: 320.
Yay, 2018!
