Intro, and 10 DPO Musings

Hi all. I’m Jenn, married, 25 this coming Tuesday. My husband has a zero sperm count, so we, after three plus years and a couple rounds of trying using donor sperm back in 2008, trying once again using donor sperm. I’m now 10 DPO, so nearing the end of my 2ww. But, as many of you know, the last few days of the wait are always the hardest. I’m in that stage now where I COULD get a positive, but more likely I’d get a bfn, and it may not be accurate. So I’m going to be good, at least until Sunday or Monday. I was going to wait until after my birthday on Tuesday, but I’ve kind of changed my mind. If I’m not pregnant, I want to be able to have a few drinks when we go out to celebrate my birthday. I am feeling some symptoms, but I don’t know what to make of them. Today I feel pretty much like I do on the first day or two of my period. Mild, constant cramps, tender boobs, fatigue and irritability. The only thing missing is AF herself. I’ve never had a cycle shorter than 25 days before, and this is only CD 22, so I’m hopeful that what I’m feeling is pregnancy related, and not just my body playing tricks on me.

I’ve avoided going to the store, because I know I’ll break down and buy some HPT’s. I’m going to have to go tomorrow though, because we’re dangerously low on that little thing they call food in the fridge. LOL. So I figure that tomorrow it’ll be safe to get some tests, and I might be able to exercise self control until Sunday. Maybe. I might snap before then, though.

Good luck and baby dust to you all. I hope everyone gets that BFP very, very soon.
