Whats happening?

Its been a few days since I last posted. And what has been happening in the meanwhile?Much and yet nothing much- really.

@ days ago, I used to feel very tired in the evenings, would need an afternoon nap, etc, but since yesterday, I have been feeling quite fit and fine.But then, on sat and sunday, M and I were out almost all day, and maybe that contributed to the tiredness, whereas since the yesterday I have been not going out at all. Been staying at home, resting more often and doing some stuff around the house. so.... 

No twinges in the tummy area either. Lots of intestinal gas but then I had this even before the transfer.

 

On sunday last(26th) i felt heartburn and slightly nauseous with gastric symptoms all day. i had a very bitter taste in my mouth too. That has almosat gone today and whatever little heartburn and yucky feeling I get is mostly right after I take my 'wysolone' medication( Its so bitter!!). 

So on the whole, I am feeling quite fit, fine and  bouyant. of course I do ahve been weepy moments, but not much. since i do not feel any much of the usual 'early preg. symptoms', I had started to feel that maybe afterall I am NOT pregnant. Read up a lot of stuff on the net, some of them encouraging( things like- some women have NO symptoms whatsoever), some not so encouraging(cannot pinpoint any single one of them though).

I cam accross this following artile which underlines the facts that

1) its not necessarily that women WILL have preg. symptoms

2) some women have NO symtoms

3) Not all women have the same symptoms

4) Symptoms are even more confusing in IVF

Here's the article:-

Symptoms During and After The 2WW (Two Week Wait)

Anyone will tell you that the most difficult time between ovulation or IVF and the next expected period is the 2WW. Every woman wants definite symptom(s) that tells them that the IVF cycle was a success and they are pregnant. But there is no definite answer to this question because everyone is different and sometimes women have no symptoms at all. There are also many myths out there about how pregnancy feels, causing women to become paranoid with these symptoms.

Most natural pregnancies are not discovered until the woman misses their period (around 4-6 weeks). This is the time when they experience symptoms such as, nausea or breast tenderness. The IVF process allows women to discover they are pregnant much sooner than with a natural pregnancy; therefore, the symptoms might be different and more difficult to pin point..

There is no symptom that will tell you if you are pregnant or not.  The following table lists symptoms that are frequently reported by women during the 2WW at different stages of pregnancy. And remember that you should not over analyze every twinge and try to relax.

During 2WW	3-4 weeks	After one month
Temperature Increase	Missed Period	Lower Back Pain
Temperature Decrease	Vomiting / Nausea	Food Cravings
Spotting	Spotting	Spotting

So, on the whole I am mighty confused . And i now know that the ONLY sureshot way to know is the betaHCG test. That will be on 1st Nov,  sat. I just hope I do not get reduced to a bundle of nerves before that. i Pray to God to give me the strength to accept whatever His will and Plan is for me. amen to that.( I have been tempted to take a home preg.test a cuple of times, but then I remember the promises I made to myself and I just get rid of that thought :) ) 

Today is Diwali, and I am due to go for lunch with M at his sis's place.So i better get moving now :)

Ciao and Happy Diwali
