4DP5DT… and the PIO tickle!

Yay… I finally get to type it! ;) I know it’s already 4DP5DT, but I have been trying to keep a low profile. The more I think about it the more I want to consult Dr. Google and so on and so forth. I can’t wait for the next 5 days to pass by! I keep telling DH that I want to POAS… but he keeps reminding me that my job right now is to take it easy and make a cozy home for the embies and not kill myself with anxiety! It probably is way too early to POAS anyways… but I want to know what’s happening in there. I have a few things going on in my system, which I would like to believe are super high side effects of PIO. During the IUI’s I have been on Progesterone suppositories… so yes, I have never had progesterone in my blood as high as it is right now (with PIO). I have had a few cramps & twinges here and there, feel like AF is on the way, I am peeing a lot (but then I am guzzling down gallons of water because I am parched every few minutes), my bo.obs are sore as hell, I feel weak and tired all the time and can sleep forever! I know all too well that my mind can play a fabulous game, so back to keeping a low profile and not being very verbose or animated about it! At the same time, I am trying to cherish the idea that I am PUPO!

Oh… I have been wanting to ask about one thing! My PIO shots have been going well. Besides the soreness at the site, nothing extraordinary… however, I am getting tickled! Yes, that’s right! When the juice starts going into my bum, I get a ticklish sensation and I have to think of something serious so that I don’t burst out laughing and hurt myself with a broken/stuck needle! Has anyone experienced this feeling before or am I just weird!? May be I should just be happy that there is at least some source of entertainment for me in this process! :P

  1. Glad to hear things are going well. I'm doing suppositories instead of injections, so I have no insight there. Sounds interesting though! Isn't this all so surreal? BTW, your beta is on my birthday! I hope that brings you some luck!

  4. Sound like things are going well. Good luck and I look forward to hearing/reading about your first beta. I will start my first round of IVF in late August/early September after our first IUI was ectopic in June. I love reading your stories in order to prepare me for what's to come. Thanks! :)

    OMG - Kelli beat me to it again. I've left an award for you over on my blog.

  7. I had similar experiences with the progesterone suppositories... my embryo did turn into a pregnancy, although I'm supposed to miscarry any day. But, I never really knew... were my symptoms from pregnancy or from the drugs. Probably a combo of both.

    Best of luck to you and your family!!!!!
