I'm trying not to be hopeful.
As long as I am non stop busy, it feels like I don't have enough time this week. It's when I allow myself a break and start to think, next week can't get here fast enough. The new plan is, if I don't start a period by next Tuesday (day 30), then they want to do "further testing". Both the study nurse and doctor believe that the number was high enough to have hope, and that I should start a period or be detecting pregnancy by next Tuesday. So, that makes my mind start the crazy thinking. I have a lot of odd cramping though. Still trying not be be hopeful. I can't take the let down. I normally don't start cramping before a period until spotting has started and it's almost time for real flow to start. But, medicated cycles always seem worse for me, and nothing from my normal. So it could go either way. I still can't bring myself to test before next week. I'd rather just skip the whole home test and do blood work if I make it to Tuesday. For me, getting negative blood work isn't a big deal. I don't have to SEE the test. Plus, they do the blood test every month and it's never positive so I rarely expect otherwise.
I have another post I started earlier, and am going to finish after this as well. But I'll end this by sharing a tiny little secret....
I'm kinda hopeful.
Very cute at the end there.
ReplyDeleteI think the important thing to remember is that progesterone levels don't really mean anything as long as you are above the min. I always get freaked out by those women that have astronomical levels in 40's or 80's and even higher. How the frick do you get a level that high? But they don't always get pregnant either.
I hope those cramps aren't your body just jerking you around.
