I am now at DPO 5 (Days Past Ovulation). Ah the terms I am still learning. There seems to be a whole new language in the pregnancy world. I continue to track my every twinge. I am still fighting to not be obsessed and chalk it up to merely recording for medical reasons. However, knowing that I have at least 5 more days until a very sensitive HPT (Home Pregnancy Test) will even possibly register is pretty tortuous. I still feel great to know that I have done all that is required of me and am being monitored by such an amazing Fertility Specialist. I inquired about the size of my follicles that I had tested on August 8, 2013. I had read about how the size of them truly mattered. I read that anything between a size 18 and 28mm was wonderful. They also said that the follicles can grow between 1 to 2mm per day until they were released. My largest follicle on the right side (which is where I have my tube) was 25mm and another was 14mm. From further research I guess that is exactly the range to be in. If my 2nd one was larger then I would have had a chance to have twins however I think I am to only rely on the 25mm one.
Now, here comes the privately obsessive part where I am tracking every twinge.
- I am bloated
- nauseated the moment I awake that fades throughout the day until evening when it picks back up
- headache
- boobs are heavy and sore
- increased CM (tmi I know)
- beyond exhausted - by 10p.m. I can no longer keep my eyes open
- heartburn
- frequent urination
- light cramping that dances from side to side
On to more days of feeling like a crazy person. The unknown is always the hardest part for me.
