We will find out tomorrow

Tomorrow is the big day. The day of pregnancy test. I'm trying to keep hoping but I have a feeling the result will be negative once again.

6dp3dt

Today it is 6 days after transfer. Boobs hurt less and yesterday night I sweated sooo much. Today I was having these strong pressure pains in my lower belly but apart from this I have no other symptoms.
Today something new happened though. About half an hour ago I was doing my evening round of injections - Lubion and Fragmin. Fragmin is a prefilled syringe so it's literally just take it out of packaging, remove needle cap, inject, discard syringe. Lubion needs to be loaded into syringe from ampule with thicker needle and that need to be changed for thinner one to inject. Fairly easy too. Today when I was injecting it into my belly it literally exploded. There is progesterone all over our bedroom. It was all over my hand as well and this stuff is super sticky. I don't know if the needle got blocked or if I was pushing too hard. I thought about leaving it since it's just one dose and I've been taking two every day for last 9 days but I found the on call number and contacted the clinic. The nurse told me that I am injecting only the amount of Lubion needed and if I'm not sure how much actually got injected into me (my estimate is between a quarter and a half of the dose), I should take another one. I'm happy I called now. 👐 The second dose was trouble and explosion free. 👍

Day 1 - Day 3

Out of my 10 eggs 7 were suitable for ICSI and 4 fertilised. I was told the transfer most probably won't be on day 2.
The next day I got a call saying all four embryos are still developing at expected which was great because normally we would already have some delayed on day 2.
On Saturday they called me at 7:15 which I knew straight away the transfer would be on that day because they are always trying to give as much notice as possible. I was told two embryos were a bit delayed and an average to poor quality so we had our two winners which were in a 8-cell and 9-cell stages. Rick couldn't come this time because he had a stag planned for ages now and the timing just didn't work out. If the egg collection stayed on the original day, Tuesday, then day 3 would have been on Friday and he could have come. Oh well. I asked my best friend Jade to come with me instead.
I made sure I drank enough water this time so I wouldn't get told off again like at the last clinic lol. I was the last one of the day and went straight in which was perfect. The embryologist showed me the two beauties still in the dish and after the transfer she gave me a Treatment summary with their pictures. I named them Bubble Wrap and Spot. They are sooo cute lol.
So far I obviously don't feel any symptoms, just my boobs have been sore since the egg collection. Last night it actually hurt the sleep in my front because of them. That sucks because that's my favourite sleeping position. All in all I feel fine and positive.
