I'm back from my transfer and fighting the jet-lag. It was a short visit to the US and I was just barely adjusting there and now I'm back and have to try and adjust back. Then next week on Monday I'm back to the US to see the family so I have to do it all over again. Although this time I will be going to the west coast so it's an 8 hour time difference. Not fun.
Today it's 5 days past my 5 day transfer and since I'm riddled with jet-lag I've got no idea if I'm feeling any real symptoms. I'm tired and hungry at all the wrong times which can easily be the time difference. I felt yucky after lunch today but that often happens to me when I'm adjusting to new time zones. So again, I have no idea if I feel any different.
I suppose it's silly playing this game with myself considering the last time I was pregnant I didn't feel any different until 7 weeks in. But like anyone in the 2WW I'm letting my mind play tricks on me. I suppose that just goes with the territory.
Beta is not until the 26th so I've got a ways to go. Oh, and I still don't know where I am going to be doing it yet. I don't have a doctor in California anymore and so the nurse at my US clinic is trying to find a lab where I can have it done. I just hope she can find someplace close to where we are staying.
So for now I'm just doing my injections and trying to live my life as normal as possible.
Dealing with the loss of a child is never easy, but it's even more difficult when you are an expat living far from home. Life will never be "normal" again and so now the challenge is to find my new normal. I am now back in the USA and the proud parent of two daughters, born using two different egg donors. "Frostina" and "Olea" are the loves of my life and I feel so grateful for the amazing women who donated their eggs and made my family possible.
I do hope you get some rest and adjust back to being there soon since it seems like your schedule is a bit hectic next week. As always you're in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSending only good thoughts your way and sticky baby dust! I HATE waiting!

ReplyDeleteWaiting sux!!! Dont let the 2ww symptom or not game get u down (or up for that matter!) Bc like u said, usually u dont feel anything until later. Best wishes!!
ReplyDeleteI hope the time flies by for you! Sending lots of positive vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteLots of positive energy your way. What a crazy travel schedule for you! Rest and de-stress as much as you can, looking forward to good news soon.
ReplyDeleteUgh that jet lag.. it is awful. I'm sure you can find a lab.. even a Labcorp or Quest can do it- they are walk in's.. you just need a prescription from your US office. Hope this helps!!! Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteYou've turned frosty into quite the jetsetter already! Good news is way overdue for you, crossing my fingers for you.
ReplyDeleteWish you good luck
ReplyDeleteThe 2WW is so so hard and jet-lag must make it so much harder... thinking of you from a far xoxo
ReplyDeleteI hate the 2ww so bad. I hope that you can find some peace and quite until the 26th. My beta is on the 21st... Just 2 more sleeps. I'm very very anxious. Thinking the best for you!
ReplyDeletewhat a mind game, that jet lag + 2WW combo. Hold strong, dear woman. The 26th will be here in 6 days. And it sounds like more jet lag is on its way before then.
ReplyDeletehang on in there, thinking of you x
ReplyDeleteWishing you so much luck xx
ReplyDeleteBeen thinking of you. In the midst of all this to-ing and fro-ing, remember to find time to relax and find quiet moments. Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. Travel safely.
ReplyDeleteI hate the 2ww w a special passion. You might feel alone but remember you never are without us!
ReplyDeleteJet lag is tough. Wishing you a speedy 2ww with a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteUrgh - all that back & forth would make me crazy. I really admire your strength in all this. Infertility treatment is hard enough when it's all done at the local clinic down the road, but add in all the travel and I can't imagine how you're doing it. I hope this 2ww goes quickly, that you have a lovely time with your family, and most importantly, that we see a nice strong BFP on the 26th!
