FET 6: 2dp6dt (2/25/18)

This post was originally written on the date in the subject line. All posts for FET 6 were saved as drafts and posted together as a series on one day. Read more here

I started to notice that familiar cramping/butterfly feeling about three hours after the transfer. It comes and goes and when it's not there I miss it. I know it's not progesterone symptoms because I've been on PIOs for over a week and I only started feeling it after transfer.

Friday night we hosted our guests. They left around 10 pm which is a little early but all four of us were yawning and it was just right. It was a lovely evening and it was a great idea to have guests to keep my mind occupied for the evening.

That big lunch I had on Friday came back to haunt me in the middle of the night. I got woken up at 3 am by stomach aches and went to the bathroom but even after two trips it wasn't done. So instead of going back and forth to bed and bothering my husband, I sat on the couch to read and ride it out. At 5 am my husband comes to find me asleep on the couch with a crick in my neck. I went back to bed with no more interruptions.

Shabbat morning we went to shul for Parshat Zachor. It was crowded as expected. When we got home I was sitting on the couch when I turned to look outside the window. When I turned I got a sharp pain in what felt like my left ovary. An involuntary "ouch!" escaped and scared my husband but the pain wasn't that bad, just surprising. I remembered clearly getting something similar last transfer in the afternoon two days after the transfer (not one day). Who knows if it means something or not. There was no more sharpness to the pain but it was a dull ache for the rest of the day. I tried stretching to get it to loosen up but I don't think it's a pulled muscle I can fix. I'm not putting heat on it. It will hopefully loosen on its own. In the meantime I'm scrutinizing every twinge and every symptom.

I took a nap in the afternoon and went out to meet a friend on Sat night. I didn't get to bed until after midnight but I barely slept more than 5 hours.

Eleven days until beta.
