BFP and Vampire Dreams

This cycle was patience-testing to say the least.  After last cycle's quick response to the Follistim (17 stimming days) I was hoping for another quick one.  I stimmed for 28 days this time, and triggered on July 6, 2010, with IUI and two fat follies on July 8.  The follies were 23, 19, and 16 (but she doesn't think the 16 on my left ovary burst).  I started progesterone suppositories (Endometrin) on July 8 and the 2ww began.

My 2ww symptoms were:

Starting with the suppositories, I always have VERY vivid dreams during the 2ww.  This time around, they're always about vampires since I'm reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels.  :)  Around 6 dpo, felt like my uterus was buzzing almost the whole day.  At 8 dpo, felt some incredibly sharp pains high up on my right side (RE found a 3 cm cyst on my left ovary).  At 9 dpo, tested and got a faint positive, 10 dpo very clear line, and 11 dpo a pretty dark positive!



EDD is March 31, 2010, but I will only go to 38 weeks c-section due to the TAC procedure I will have in (gasp) 6 weeks...
