I Feel Like I'm Pregnant...But That Scares Me... (And, of Course, Your Daily Dose of Anything that Could Possibly Be Interpreted as a Pregnancy Symptom)

A friend of mine sent me princess birthday candles last week...we used them on the cake my mom baked for my belated birthday dinner last night...too fun!

Two more days until I find out if I'm pregnant or not.

My plan for Sunday is to go to my local blood draw lab early, get my blood drawn, wake up my husband a couple hours later, and then go together to the lab to get the results. (My clinic is out of town and really bad about calling me with results. Can't figure out if the lab is bad about sending them or my clinic is bad about receiving them. Once my clinic didn't even call with my beta results until the NEXT DAY...can you imagine? So I've made friends with everyone at my local lab and they happily hand over my results. Much less stressful than sitting by the phone all day waiting for a call that may not even come.)

Overall, I just kind of have this gut feeling that I'm pregnant. Which is great. Except when I HAVE been pregnant, I've been convinced that I'm not, so maybe it's a bad sign that I think that I am? Ah, the convoluted thinking that goes along with an IVF cycle...

As far as symptoms:

• Up twice last night to get a drink of water...yeah, definitely thirsty
• My husband says he thinks my boobs are bigger (although I'm not sure I agree)...but they do have really visible blue veins running underneath the surface, which I read somewhere is a pregnancy symptom, and I had this during the two week wait last cycle when I was pregnant. I'm also trying to decide if my boobs are starting to get more sensitive...maybe...but it's kind of hard to say...
• Again with the heavy feeling in my lower belly...like I'm going to get my period but I felt this when I was pregnant before (and it upset me because I was convinced that my cycle didn't work...but then it turned out that it had...)
• I keep waiting for some sort of implantation spotting, but there hasn't been any. You can be pregnant without implantation spotting, right?

I'll be blogging over the weekend...tomorrow with a symptom report and Sunday with my beta results. Cross your fingers for me!

XOXO
