1 week down, 1 more to go

in TTC after 35

OK. I made it through the first week of the dreaded 2ww. Halfway there.

I am dying though. Sometime around Sunday I started getting what I can only hope are implanatation cramps. Nothing I have ever felt before. They lasted through Monday night, but are gone now. The downside is that while on Prometrium, I don't get any PMS symptoms and my period won't start until I stop taking it. So, I wait...

One week down, one more to go.

May 4th is my official test date. I am hoping I can hold out until at least May 1st.

    I am feeling you! I am only about 6 days into this thing, but somehow continuing to temp is making me feel sane as the time passes. I am also noting lack of PMS symptoms brewing which makes me hopeful-- but then it could just be the herbs I am taking are helping with that. Let's keep our fingers crossed, that this is the month!

    I gave up temping this month. The prometrium makes it pointless.

    Right now, I am exhausted and I am trying to figure out of the nausea is from a potentially growing fetus or that greasy cheeseburger I had a Five Guys earlier. I think I know the answer to this.

    I've almost made it through week one, and am thinking every symptom I'm having is a sign of some sort. Which makes no sense at all. What kind of sign can you have before implantation? The bloat from the injectables is not a sign, it's just annoying.

    Good luck with the 2nd week! And here's hoping that nausea is not due to the cheeseburger!

    I know!!! I have come to hate the Prometrium. How am I supposed to overanalyze possible pregnancy symptons when the Prometrium plays tricks on me? I don't even bother temping anymore.

    The good news, I am out of cheapie tests so I cannot obsessively test right now (too early anyway). I have 2 FRERs and one digital I am saving for next week.
